thank again think ive located what i need

hey guys hoping you can help im looking for a new upper fairing (nose) for my 99 r6 its the white/red/black one but can only find after market jobs which im not really interested in does anyone know where is best to go look ?

yeah thanks have sorted it now all re sized

thanks guys shopping trip this weekend to spoil me bike is in order

haha great advice thanks i will tread carefully for sure and i agree summer starts for me in december haha

thanks will have to be extra careful. do any of those products work that claim to protect your bike from road salt etc

just to add i took my test and lessons in very bad conditions and had one test cancel due to weather conditions but want to be safe on the road

Hey guys ive only recently passed my full bike test and have run a gs500 for a few months but soon got bored and upgraded to a 1999 r6. im planning on doing as much riding as i can this winter except snow and ice but am looking for some advice on the do's and donts on running a sportbike in winter conditions. anyway thanks in advance heres my ride .......

thanks guys

thanks mate yeah the test was surprisingly ok, i was a bit nervous at first, but they have module 1 which is slow control manouvers such as u turn and figure of eight etc and emergency stops and hazard avoidance well you swerve in between 2 cones at about 30 mph not really that difficult but i was nervous doing the u turn as u cant touch the floor its an instant fail. module 2 is a road test they follow you in a car and you follow a set route i found this to be the easier of the 2 modules simply cause im used to being on the road they are big on observations and road positioning your supposed to command your road space. i can pass you my old book on the full test of you decide to go ahead and do it it took me about 4 weeks to do the whole thing from cbt to full lisence but thats only cause of my work commitments you can do it in a week if you pass everything first time good luck and let me know how you get on

oh the bike has full service history 17k miles on it and well loved
