Scott - if ya from the UK... then try George White - Yamaha in Shoreditch... them guys can get almost anything Yamaha.
Also Fowlers, in London can get a lot of OEM stuff cheap, and delivered right to your door...

I used a paddock stand for the rear, and a jack to raise the solid part of the headers. I put a soft wood block in between the jack and headers - no problem.
Whilst i had it all apart, i replace stock springs with HP springs cause i had a fork leak... so though it was a good opportunity.
I have managed close to 130mph, on err...cough... a private road/track. I was not chasing a car, just belting it down to get home...on a nice sunny day, with hardly any traffic.
The weird thing is, for me at least... i can get upto speed no problem, its slowing the machine down that freaks...

All were about 1-2 hours sessions, I passed my Direct Access on a Kawasaki allowing me to ride any bike/any size...
I did mines over a year ago, managed to source mines from a UK Engineering company [cannot remember the name now]. Cost was about 20 odd pounds i think, for the AllBallz head-bearing/races/seals. I have a 2006 FZ6 btw.
Work took us practically the whole day, as i had to pop out and buy a...
thebikergeek - I had both of em imported... The first time i was lucky and did not get stung by Customs. The second time around, i had to pay a charge, not sure how much now - about £12, i think - HTH.

You can see the plate that us used to secure the kit to the bike... I noticed it had snapped like 2/3 of the way accross whilst i was cleaning it, and was in the process of ordering a new one.
I went over a bump a bit to quickly one morning in a hurry and it snpped right off, grinded against...

All adjustments were done on a Dyno, i think i posted my results on page 4/5 i think.
I did not know one could perform a tune by "ear" krid - lol... is there something your not telling us - hahaha
Gosh - i'm probably gonna sound like a troll too now... C1/C2 adjustments did not make a difference for my bike, in fact it did jack for me - in the end I purchased a PC3 :)
On a budget, give the C1/C2 settings a go.... however IMO PC's will have far better control of fuel/air management...
