I posted this under another topic last night: I ordered one for my bike and they have them in stock, I think the Micron sound is awesome and the performance is good too! My cousin's shop has a few extra Micron exhausts systems for 02 R1s in stock. They were told my Micron that the pipes were on back order and then low and behold they started coming in a few days later.. The two color fade pipes are $379.00 plus shipping (these are the slip on systems), and the Scorched Titanium slip on system is $522.00 plus shipping. Of course they have pipes for every bikes and will offer you good prices for them too but they ordered extra systems for the 02 R1s since they were in high demand this month. The black to silver fade, scorched ti, black to blue fade and black to red fade are in stock! Call Mike at 606-432-1556 or 606-437-7650 you can see the web site at www.tobefast.com and tell him Spiderman sent you! We also have the tail end blinker kits... Click here to see the photos of the kit on my bike.
I also put a pic of what the black to blue fade looks like on the 02 R1..... Very hot..

good deal
I know I posted this a few times, I am a micron user too - and akrapovic. I ended up working out a group discount for us on the devil hi-mounts. I love micron and they have a gret sound - but their hi-mount won't be released til april, which means you won't have one until late april/may. I know, because I've been on the phone with micron for 3 weeks now.
I ended up looking at devil pipes, because they've been making exhausts for 40 years and they are not common. to tell you the truth, I'm tired of seeing every other bike with a micron or an akra or especially a yosh (yuck, yosh). The micron sound is tops though, and 2 bros is close. Devil made their suond around exactly that idea- mean deep and throaty like micron, but louder. the hi mount has an intermediate pipe MUCH less angled and drastic like the micron (which means you WILL NOT sacrifice as much power with a hi-mount versus a regular mount) and devil backs their products up completely - they're right in new jersey.
Call ROB at Devil 732-254-3008. Normally their SB2 carbon hi mount can sells for 499 + 45 shipping. Rob has extended us 450 total, no tax or shipping - it's a gret deal on a pipe that sounds deep and killer like a micron only louder, looks beautiful in hi mount (AND IS AVAILABLE NOW, NOT 6 WEEKS LIKE MICRON) and will add about a true 4 hp, which is nice, because hi-mounts usually tend to get less with the drastic angles in the int. pipe. check out the pics: www.devilbikes.com and then compare to pics of last years micron hi-mount

the sad thing is that the micron so called "hi mount" is anything BUT HIGH...Don't get me wrong, I like micron, but their hi-mount is NOT a high mount - look at the bottom part of the thread is attached (see above). PLus, without even having a hi-mount look, the pipe still has shitty angles! I am disapointed with Micron (as a past faithful micron user) and I've swtiched to devil. Call rob and get the skinny, he's a great guy and will also hook you up on the discount on OTHER systems they offer. Mention the group discoutn through nick and he will give you awesome service and a great deal.:hellobye

Wow, I hope the Micron hi-mount on the 2K2's come up higher than that! Anyways, I heard that you have to break in the bike with the stock pipe and then put on the aftermarket slip-on to break it in properly... soo by the time my 2K2 comes in and I get it to say 1k miles it will be 6weeks! Also, quick question about hi-mounts... do they affect the passenger at all? like heat or being in the way where they rest their feet? Don't want to hurt the ladys...
facts:
1) The hi mount microns will not come up much higher - go call micron yourself...sorry, that is NOT a hi mount. Believe me, I was a faithful micron guy, but sometimes a little change is good.
2) That rumor about breaking in your bike with a stock pipe is bogus. Some people DO prefer to do so, however oftentimes it is because they plan on putting on a full exhaust and want to really feel the difference between stock and full system. With a slip-on the difference in power will be barely noticeable...that is a fact, anyone who knows sportbikes will tell you this is the truth - if it is more power that you want, than shop for a full system. As for break-in, this is a slip-on and you can put it on whenever you want. I would NOT advise this with a full system.
3) On an R1 passenger accomodations are already lacking. But I think my girlfriend put it best...Her quote was: "It's a fucking sportbike! It isn't supposed to be an easy chair - that'swhat Goldwings and Harley dressers are for!!!" Ahhh..my love...all this from my girlfriend who was born in Poland and only speaks English for 2 years....Aga, baby if you're reading this, I love you.
So anyhow, regarding passenger discomfort, first and foremost, see if you retain the passenger peg! Many hi mounts DO let you keep the rearset and peg. Devil is one of them. Since the rearsets and pegs are high anyway, your passengers legs will be higher (knees more bent) so they'll be far enough away from the pipe to not get burned- at least for the most part. This is true for Devil, and also for micron since their hi-mount isn't too high. I don't know abuot MIG, because all my friends that ride with MIG hi pipes have solo tails and hate riding with passengers! Aga will be riding with me on the R1- we sat on one at the dealer when they first arrived and she said "God, it's alot more comfy than your Ducati!"
