    11 here. I've seen two others where I live, but I rarely see VFRs here in SoCal.

    I guess that makes me lucky 13. I fell in love with the bike two years ago, but had just bought a motorcycle and wasn't really in the market for another. But I never could stop thinking about how perfect it looked ... I have never seen a bike that appealed to me in the same way. So, when I found a leftover 2014 model, I made the move.

    Looks like I'm number 15. Just bought a '15 dlx for a price I just couldn't refuse. After years of Beemers, I have to say I am totally wowed at the refinement and slickness of this bike. Haven't owned a Japanese bike since the eighties.

    Hi guys! Number 16 here! Have a '14 that has served me well every day since I bought her last October... even in this 108 degree heat in AZ! About to pick up some bar risers from MotoPumps and possibly a short Delkevic exhaust to show off that beautiful rear tire and aggressive V-4 sound!!! Out of curiosity, what have you guys heard about Delkevic exhausts? Thanks!

    I have the MotoPumps risers on order. I have the factory risers now, but I feel like another half-inch or so would be perfect. Does anyone on here have any experience with them?

    Yep, I love them and they go on about as smooth as you can imagine. They definitely make a big difference! The color is a little off but once you get them installed it's hard to be too upset since you don't really see them that much.

    Here are a few photos of the 14" Carbon Fiber Round Slash Cut Round Muffler Delkevic US KIT26AS that I bought and installed a month ago. I rode with it for about 700 miles since then . The carbon fiber seems to be burning, it has a 6'' X 3'' spot that is quite bad and I think it will get worse. I have sent an email to delkevic this morning and I will keep the forum inform of Delkevic's actions.

    I must add that I was very satisfied with the look and the sound of this muffler. Not too loud to make it illegal in Canada and with the possibility of removing the baffles. It was also an easy install .

    Update: 9th August : Delkevic's response;

    The rep from Delkevic told me that he is sorry for this problem and that he thinks there may have been some quality control issues. He proposed to send me a replacement today at no cost and to issue a partial refund because of the problems i experienced. He gave me a choice of models. I pick the stainless steel model this time.

    This supplier is to be commended for great customer service. ( and the sound of the Delkevic is great too).

    Update: 11 August :
    Received the new ss muffler. It took only two days to deliver it to Montreal :)

    i guess im 17 or 18. just made my third payment on my 2015. put delkavic carbon fibre pipe on it. sounds so sweet. blacked out lower faring and inside of windshield with plastidip. looks great and if i decide i dont like it it just peels off. also blacked out the nose below the windshield. did this with vinyl from the local sign shop.

    Show us a pic of your blacked out fairing and windshield. It should be interesting.

    I've had a 2015 since may. I really want the side cases and top case.
