Probably sometime next year I will need to decide how far to mod the bike vs saving that money for a new bike (or a house with a garage).

Maybe I missed something but didn't you buy cheap levers during the previous frenzy of mods?

Yes it was a hard choice re which rearsets to get...but at the end of the day, the Type 2's where a good compromise between functionality, and price...the type 3's are very expensive, the type 1's asre very basic, and the type 2's sit somewhere in the middle...bike shop just rang me to say they have come in...so i will go down there today and take some photo's to post.

And yes, your memory serves you correct, i did get some "carbon" levers during my last bout of mod madness...but they are exactly what i paid for, cheap...look great, but fit is not the best, lots of sideways movement, and they are not shorty's...was always going to be a stop gap, till i decided which of the higher spec levers i would buy....

thanks for the input.

They are not adjustable at the point of fixing, they are for the height of the levers, up & down.

Get my Wheels back on Monday, or Tuesday...i cant wait to see them either.

Jules suggested Axle Sliders the other day..enquired about them today, and Axle Armour/ Oggy knobs dont do them for the FZ6! Have searched and Motovation (who do) dont have a distibutor in Oz to mt knowledge...and at present exchange rates...i aint buying from the States!

When you say adjustable at the levers do you mean the gear and brake or foot pegs as well ?

Hmmmm. well the bike shop rang the supplier today, and he said NO! I tell ya, i am beginning to think that it pays to do your own research, rather than trust the word of the sales rep's...this remninds me of my Staintune enquiries!



Thanks for the link!

Well guys , I went into maximoto today on the way home from work and ended up ordering a 15t front sprocket,didn't intend to but I did ,should be here late next week . Now I just need to save for a speedo healer !


Oh,they have clear indicator lenses for our bikes ,with globes ,$70 for the four.

Good work on the sprocket...hope it comes in when they say it's gonna!

Found out today, that after 9 weeks on Backorder, my -2 Vortex front sprocket did not come in with other backorders.....f^&%$#*! so it could be another 9 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT HAPPY! So now i am going in search of another brand sprocket that will fit the fz6 that has 14 teeth!

Anyone got any idea's?????

On a brighter note, i did get my 05 R6 front brake calipers today....they are in top condition, and after a quick precautionary rebuild, and re-spray...not really needed, but i like things to be as good as they can be when i am spending a kings ransom.

Drinking Pale Ale right now to calm myself down after the sprocket news! Grrrrrr!
