yea was gona suggest the same as rf....heat it up and the stem should pop out easy enough....if that dosnt work take the measurements ...fork leg diameter and so forth and see if any rom another bike may fit i've used ducati yokes a few times in the past with yamaha usd's they go straight on no probs

Congrat's mate on passing your test............ nice choice of bike....!

Don McLean...............American Pie............everyone knows the words when their drunk

Powerbronze....£33.00 bucks for an 08 R6 screen..............BARGAIN

Bergom Alu is fantastic also try Meguires NXT metal polish very very good........Autosol is pretty crap unless your gona try and restore alloy thats badly oxidised as it has a high abrasive content. I've been polishing metal now for well over 20 yrs and have tried / used them ALL i'd only recommend the two i've mentioned.

So whats your fav record off all time and why? for me it's the Metallica track " Nothing else matters" i went through such a shit time for a while in my life like most people do that i kinda lost faith in almost everything ..then i rediscoverd my love of music again so i looked out all my old stuff and bought alot of new cd's and stuff and it helped.

welcome to the forum matey

Hi matey ran my R6 on bridgstones and virtually every other bike i've owned has had em on also....fantastic tyres good in the wet with excellent levels of grip and good feedback when going a bit quicker but superb in the dry. I run my 1000 exup on bridgstones ....i cant find fault with em other than the softer compounds wear a bit quicker

wecome to the forum matey

Go for it if your really keen to streetfighter the bike.... nearly all streetfighters started life as a pre accident damaged motorcycles. so far i've built over 40 bikes for people and to be honest they all have a lot of character, style , you name it a streetfighter is very individual. If your interested / concerned by other peoples views when it comes to building one you will never do it......put your own twist on it give it your own style and chances are you'll be very happy with how it looks and rides and at the end of the day a unique motorcycle will draw far more of a reaction from people than a run of the mill production model that just looks the same as everyother one on the road.....Go for it i say !!!!!!!!!

when i got my r6 it was fitted with 208's and they were good tyres and they did last well but having had bridgstones on all the other bikes i had i fitted them when the 208's were knacker'd and that didn't take long but still a good tyre just felt more confidence in the bridgstones specially it the wet...everybody will prefer or be comfortable with a certain make / type of tyre why not ask around see if any ov the local guys have an r6 wi different tyres and see if you can have a go on there bike..?

aw lov'in the pigtails.......

no idea?

Best yamaha i'm kinda torn between 2 my old RD500 and my 20yr old thou exup love em both but for the same reasons the RD was crap around town was uncomfortable and could be a pig to keep running sweet but when it was and on a quiet road i don't think words could describe how fantastic it was to ride the more it screamed the faster you pushed it the more you pushed it the more it screamed the faster you went what a rush!!!!!!! was shit on fuel but i never cared the exups the same kind of bike in a way its fast uncomfortable and can be a pig around town wi the heavy clutch but on an open road it can still keep up wi the newer sports bikes and take the piss outa 1 or 2 aswell and it's still a fantastic bike to ride everyday
