    Where to find rearsets?

    pjsparts has the rizomas valters can be found at kneedraggers, but I'ld suspect it would have a 2-3 week lay0time, as it seems common to wait when ordering from them

    Troy Bayliss - A true champion!, annoint the new King!

    I think they're asking something around 50k usd. It's in full running condition. Besides Bayliss's riding it has seen about 10 hours of track use. It's an unbelievable machine. Deep Sump DesmoQuattro, all papers, cf everything, magnesium and titanium where it's not cf, shower injectors, cf...

    Troy Bayliss - A true champion!, annoint the new King!

    We took a trade in at work. Bayliss's 98 996RS Race Edition. Bike #1. Meaning it IS the bike he crossed the line with in the 98 British Superbike season! I'll grab some pictures tomorrow at work, it's crazy!

    Best way to lower bike for 5'7" rider?

    I'm 5'7" as swell, and i've not even considered trying to get lower. Sure I can't flat foot it, but I definitely am capable of touching the balls of my feet on both sides without issue. I usually suggest to anyone who can touch ground with both feet at once, at least with the balls, to not even...

    Sliders Installed (About time!)

    It's about time that I installed some sliders. Months of ownership, as well as many mods! Finally got around to picking up a set of Motovation Frame Sliders. Installation is a sinch, one bolt out, one bolt in. Super simple. All of 5 minutes, half of which was spent drinking a beer! 2 quick...

    frame sliders

    motovation sliders on order! has anyone used the swingarm sliders? I've been considering them as they will double as spools, but they look like they stick out a good bit, and i'm wondering whether they'll cause issues at heavy lean angles

    Lower your bike for free! ...SLIMED

    most shops I know of won't even consider plugging a tire. The contact patch with our tires isn't large, in comparison to car tires, and isn't nearly as flat/simple to plug. The rounded nature makes it much more stressful on a plug. If the plug gives out while you're in motion, then you'll be...

    Turn signals

    05 and 06 are the same bike, so yes. the fairings change for 07/08, but the flushies fit since the stalks are the same. You will most likely need a relay, otherwise they'll flash too quickly, since LEDs require less power than regular bulbs.

    FE kit &front peg + back pegs

    once you get a prototype mock-up, you'll find people more willing to say yes/no to this. I'm always for black levers, and silver or black pegs, as the frame will be silver or black

    FZ6 Cup Panel Group Buy Interest?

    Definitely no way I know of to get the GYTR pipe. I've asked, but nothing. Also, as for the damper, it's Ohlins, and the only way to get Ohlins stuff is to buy from a dealer. There is almost no markup, they won't do gb pricing, I tried! With the exchange rate as it sits, I'm gonna be picking up...

    setback plates Installed and gp shift swap

    I LOVE the setback. So much more comfortable with the clipons. Not to mention it's alot easier to shift around on the bike, and even easier to get the weight side to side. GP shifting took a second to get used to, but overall it's alittle nicer for situations where upshifting under acceleration...

    setback plates Installed and gp shift swap

    In case anyone's curious, I've got 2 hex bolts on each side holding the rearset to the setback plate. They're 1.5" long, 5/16" diameter bolt, 1/2" head. (home depot sells no metric bolts, wtf?) 5 washers on each stock frame hole, separate the setback from the frame. I used the stock allen...
