Thanks dude. And nah I'm not fast enough to need that shit. The main thing I need now is a damper. There are parts of the track where I've always gotten shake but it's not a big deal. As I get quicker there is a section where I'm way fucking forward on the bike and still getting some nasty headshake. I need an ohlins damper...

How did I miss you getting pit bull stands, you were such the pit bull nazi back on TWF. You were all about the t-rex stands and criticized us pit bull owners.

The fairings could have plenty of shit there but I am not putting stickers on unless someone is giving me parts/tires/money/discounts/etc... we'll see what happens in the future.

I still think trex's are the best for the money. I sold mine to mondo because he needed a set. I'm going to be using warmers and putting the bike up and down on stands many times a day... figured I'd be a baller and upgrade.

Novice: white plates, red numbers
Amateur: yellow plates, black numbers
Expert: white plates, black numbers

Hey why don't you take a few days off and come help me put my bike back together? I'm buying the beer and the new crop of targets,I mean students have just arrived at ECU......

looks good...im with trip on the stripe, looks kinda afterthoughtish. mostly the piece on the tail just looks weird to me.

still looks badass tho, hope u go with some old skool style font 4the numbers, instead of a simple normal block font.

kinda surprised u dont have a dampner already-u mite not be fast enough for susp yet, but susp could help u get faster....think about that lol

The tail piece is there because it's from this:

and compare to this:

Anyways, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

A steering damper and probably a gearing change (stock gearing is silly at loudon) over the winter are the only mods in the near future. And bumping to DOT race tires when the corsa IIIs are done and throwing a set of rains on the spare wheels.

So when you start racing next year, are you gonna be done on the street completely or you still gonna swap back and forth?

I like the stripe man. Looks good.

I'll be getting a motard for the street and a truck in the beginning of next year. The R6 will be track-only.
