For the rear I'd get a painted undertail and LED tail light with integrated blinkers. Mount the plate in front of the rear tire or wherever the law allows. Personally that's what I intend to do, cops around here don't really care as long as you're not breaking other laws.

For exhaust, stay away from Muzzy, nobody has been able to explain why but it has a huge flat spot between 1500-3000rpm. A pc3 with a map make it slightly better but even an R6 has more oomph off idle than a ZX12 with a Muzzy. As far as the top end, dynojet says it's good for nearly 20rwhp bumping this bike up to 180rwhp (stock is 160), which may be enough to touch 200mph. I wish we had some sort of a mile+ drag in Oregon to test my theory.

I'm pretty sure nobody has hit 200 mph with just an exhaust and pcIII. Don't worry the LSR guys will chime in pretty soon. And who rides a 12 under 3000 rpms? Slip the clutch in traffic and in the city streets no more flat spot. Go muzzy.

I can sort you out with an electronic pdf manual, it's very good and over 600 pages so should keep you busy :).
Send me a PM if you need it otherwise they are on fleabay in paper format but expensive £40, my copy works out including VAT and electronic transfer fee's @ £0.00
