    I think Arlen Ness do kangaroo leathers but dont discount Alpinestars, Rev'it, Frank Thomas and a few others as they do some superb leathers and to be fair boots and gloves too at reasonable prices.

    What sort of Arai you looking at?? Ive got the Corsair Haga 41 lid and its amazingly light and visibility is good.

    I personally use:

    Arai Corsair Helmet

    Rev'it GT Corse 1 piece leathers

    Frank Thomas leather/Carbon fibre gloves

    Alpinestars SMX plus boots

    Check some of those bits out as i think they are really nice kit....

    Nice choice mate and they are easy to ride and as the guys have said respect her and shee will you!!! :)

    I had a Yamaha BW50 Spy scooter then went to cagiva planet 125 then went back to the scooter while i was at uni then rode into my local yamaha dealer on the scooter and rode out on my R6!!! lol.....was a big change and just take it easy its a lovely bike and great bike to get used to!!!

    R6 exhaust help please

    Its an easy job and can be done in under 10mins as ive dont it in less than 10 myself and im not a trained mechanic either...

    You need 2 sockets and a spanner can remeber what sizes think they are 12mm's. Simply undo the bolt thats being held on by the pillion rearset and there is one clamping the exhaust onto the center section...

    There is the gasket which is inside the exhaust and which you just need to stick something under to get it to slide off...

    Once thats off....the new exhaust should slide off then put the link pine on then the can and then spings then tighten the allen bolt on the center section and bolt through the pillion rearset...

    And ta-daaaa!!!

    If all is tight a new exhaust should be fitted!!!

    Should look like this after.........

    LED & Standard Indicators / Turn Signals

    I must admit i have been thinking about all of this indicator business and i have seen a R6 (5sl shape) with the intigrated rear lights and although yes the bike looked clean with the lines etc i thought it was quite hard to see the indicators and on the new shape it would be even harder id imagine to see the 2 halves of the light apart.....

    As for the front flush ones i think they look cool but again might attract unwanted attention.

    If i was you id get something like what ive got ive got which are motrax mini indicators as they are similar to standard shape and quite small....

    Heres a pic

    As far as LED goes not entirely sure but im sure someone will be able to give you an answer on that! :)

    How's the repair going??? Got it all sorted?!?!

    If you need any assistance give us a shout as i can keep my eyes peeled for stuff in the local area to get it fixed!!!

    Is it an Orwells purchase then?! Have you checked for Orwells repair prices?? They might not be too bad...?! Otherwise i would say the same as Sabarius as i get a lot of bits off ebay for the R6! :D
