Happy days! An Aussie section on a B-King forum...

Hey everyone. Had my black B-King since Sept. 2008. Managed to pick it up as a 1,000km demo for $16,000 ride away. I was STOKED because until then I was sure I was going to buy a Gixxa 1000 because the B-King, while looking AMAZING compared to anything else around it was going to be too expensive. When the dealer told me about the deal I HAD to test ride it and knew within 300m that I was going to buy it. The biggest surprise was how well it steered and cornered for such a big bike - better than the Gixxa 1000 imo. And then to have so much power to roll on, I was instantly hooked and haven't looked back.

Anyhow, it's had the tail tidy treatment but that's it! I am keen for it to sound nicer though so if anyone can recommend some slip pipes that sound and also LOOK good for the B-King, I'm all ears.

Here's a pic...



Cheers,
Kris!

Welcome mate!
Glad you've found the forum, it really is a great place with a lot of great members and info on the the B-King!

As far as exhausts go, do you like the stock look or are you after a different look?

If you like the stock look and just want a better note:

If your want a different look, have you seen the Zard system:

I don't mind the stock look but I love the look of the Yoshi ovals...



Just don't know anywhere in Australia that sells them. Most only have the TRC "triangle" ones which I think look crap.

I have only seen one member post pics of his B-King with those.

You've seen the dual ovals?

Either of these would have to be purchased through the UK or Europe.

I don't like the quad tips though.

Took me a bit but I found that member with the pipes you want:

On the second page he offers for people to order them through him for 650€ + shipping.

Thanks mate. Wealth of knowledge on this site. I'm definitely doing the buell peg modification!

No worries mate!
Did you look at the MFW adjustable pegs?

I got mine through:

Well damn! They look better...

Any suggestion for mirrors that better suit the B-King? Black obviously...

Welcome mate!

That depends what your after.
Some of the guys like the Z1000 mirrors which bolt straight on:

Some people like the bar end mirrrors:

Some like the Rizoma mirrors:

Personaly I like the bar ends, I have the oberon streetfighter 60mm flat glass mirrors but since I bought them they have released 75mm convex glass which are probably a bit better but I am happy with the ones I have.
I bought from:

You can also get a set of these bar end mirrors for just over $20 shipped. At checkout enter coupon code D2M2008 and get 15% off. Should put the total around $23 depending on your shipping costs for both mirrors.
