Gorgious colour mate.
I would have bought a GSX that colour but I have never seen on in the UK that colour.

Thank you. Unfortunately it has a brownish tint in the pic.

As long as it is a GSX1400 with 2 cans, color is not that important to me. They are all great.

As I mentioned to you, my bike is a March 2005 (K5) bike but it has the twin silencer set up.
I didnt even realize that the later ones had gone to a 4 into 1 type system.
But then I didnt follow them before I owned one.

The 4-1 can is "tongue-in-cheek" called BAZOOKA. You were lucky  :stir:

Not if the (optional no cost) dealer fit Yoshi can was fitted though - which I think nearly EVERYONE had fitted!

If they would have fitted 2 of them Yoshis you MAY have a point.  :rofl2:

Still would not look as good as the original twins. More  :stir:  :stir:  :stir:

Proteous, you are being irresponsible to the black 14 community! Imagine @Red Biker  reads this, and turns his black .... wait what was it... oh yes bike (sorry, for some reason I only had the black-wireless-two-cup thingy in my mind) into a glittery thing.  :crash:

love the galaxy silver, the best imo. as far as exhausts go, mine is quite ok. only one can. i burnt the hell out of my leg with one, imagine the damage if i had two. will admit the best sounding 14 ive heard was a two muffler job. dual campbells from memory, not really two , it had four.

You rang M'Lord!
Actually Andre I'm not a big fan of the stock Black (YAY Nebular) with those Blue flecks in it. Mine will be going a deeper true Black this winter
to reflect the 'Testosterone laden image' that Black is  :onya:

Cheers

Have a look at Ford Panther Black. No flecks in it and comes out a real deep glossy black. Good match for the glossy K2 side panels as well
Polish with Turtle Wax Black Box - its superb on black as its made specifically for it
