Your're right, the fender tabs are for 04-06.

The wheels spacers will work for all years though.

Sorry might sound stupid, but with these spaces and tabs all I will need to do the R6 fork mod is the forks and calipers? Or would I need something else also?

New brake lines... although you can use the current ones you may get a really bad angle on one of the hoses.

Curious, what are the spacers made out of? Is the cost any less just for a set of spacers?

The wheel spacers are made out of 304 stainless.

I had these made for another member when I had mine made, and he backed out so I have them extra. I'm not really looking to get more made, sorry.

You will also need 4 caliper shims. .750"OD x .400" ID x .100 thickness. I used washers that we had in our plant that were the exact dims i needed... I can't find anymore however.

Like stated above, most people also convert to braided stainless steel brake lines when doing the conversion. The stock lines are a fuzz too short.

I'm pretty interested in these spacers had another question tho, I already upgraded my lines to the HEL SS lines with 2 lines coming straight from master cylinder do you think I'd still need to get lines specific to the R6 forks?

those should be long enough unless you ordered custom lengths
