As usual, I been stalking race bike websites for different parts over xmas holidays, trick bits & things, etc. I came across some delicious bits for the R6.
A few weeks back I seen some bits that caught my eye, and was going to make a purchase from their website in the US of A.
After some careful thinking (i meant drinking) over a couple of weeks, I seen some of the same bits for sale on fb ... so I jumped at them.

R6 front fender mount kit,

This kit allows you to change the front wheel without removing the calipers
On the down side, you have to disassemble the forks to install the fender bracket kit, as well as modify the mounting points for the front guard.

The front and rear quick change axles look the goods too.

Don't think this will work with aftermarket chain adjusters, though. (Lightech)

haha yea tah ... yea PI was a bitch with unpredictable weather cond's. I'm yet to perfect it ;-)
As you guys probably know I use Bridgestone V01/V02's,. I've changed to Dunlop D212, the front is taller than the Bridgestone and as I have already modified the guard (when Bridgestone was on ... stoopid me), it scrapes really bad with the Dunlop on. :cry:

I heard the OEM front guard is better to modify than a race glass one ... So my search is for an OEM front guard

If anyone has one lemme know aye??? :help: :pray:

Cheers Nick, yea Rob really knows his Matris ... had to replace seals, so he did a full service on them as well as install the goodies, while I waited (plus I helped too).

I have a front OEM guard you can have, in mint condition, Cam. It's red, so it's faster.....
