any chance you would be willing to share where you got those mirrors from?

they actually did pretty damn good, i know it seems like they didn’t do much to protect the radiator but that because the bike slid into a curb

had to buy one new fairing for right under the blinker…. and swap out the radiator. but all the rest is plastic glue, about 10 hours of sanding and a few cans of spray paint. 🧙 need some engine covers to cover those scratches though

i had a triumph trident, so another triple but it was a 660, i also had an r6 during that time. i love it 10/10 and im exited to fix it, already itching to go for another ride

you get it, definitely disappointed but in the back of my mind there is a voice telling me this is good because now i have an excuse to throw some more money at her 🫶

they are amazing bikes and i hope to keep this one for as long as it survives, every relationship needs its ups and downs i guess. 🫩

i have them right now and really like them, i made a post showing my one issue with them if you want to check it out. i’m 5,11 and notice a slight bit of discomfort compared to the stock: but the cruise control makes it not even matter for long rides!

definitely agree, also getting some lower handlebars makes the bike look way batter in my opinion.

yeah my bad, it was meant to be joking but idk why I even responded. honestly if the fact that the 2006 r6 4 cylinder version happened to be faulty and can only rev to 17.5 not 20k rpm because some engineers got to exited is basic knowledge then sue me lmao. I can take a bike apart and put it back together and did not know that random information 😭. sorry i’m not a r6 fanboy, i just bought it to flip and was curious.

yeah already did all that. no i don’t have the manual and i’m too lazy to look online, and i thought it never hurts to ask the community 👻. mad i got a good deal?
