Also if you could get a preliminary review oof how you like riding with them that would be awesome, this looks like a much more cost effective way to get the raised up further back rearsets.

oso2K, Haven't had a chance, I've been traveling this week for work. Maybe weekend after next?

Once I do I'll take photos and post up. I'm thinking a longer shift rod with a kink in it may just do the trick.

My bike is currently at Acculign having the top clamp measured up/planned out. Hopefully that project will be complete in 2 to 3 weeks.

I love the feeling of where they're at now. Other than the discomfort of my unique shifter peg setup, they really make shifting your weight on the bike a breeze. Before, my legs were extended so much, I felt like I was using my calves to shift my weight (tippy toeing). With the plates on, you really got your legs under your weight (very close to how the 03-05 R6/06-08 R6S is setup) so pushing up & sliding over is easier because you don't have to clear your weight over the seat. Your weight is already cleared, just lift a little and shift.

Here is a few of reactions from wavex about my riding my bike last weekend. All them are not necessarily about the plates but the ride in general.

- at least -1 on the front (if not the whole -1/+2)
- SS brake lines
- definitely need a flatter bar.... your clipons are sick in turns... the bike wanted to turn for me!

The issue with the shifter is that, in my case, the shifter rod went outside the frame while the shifter lever got cut, flipped, then rewelded to accomodate the outside the frame shifter rod. Poutanen @sportbikes.net (FZ6 forum) was working on an alternative but he never sent me the details.
