    Tyres

    I assume that's the cost with you riding to them and them removing the wheel? I went through a bad spell where I seemed to get a puncture every couple of months, I drew the line at 2 repairs per tyre but I take my wheel off and take it in loose and they only charge me £15 to plug it properly. I...

    fitting zx6r rear shock

    Cheers mate that shows me exactly what I wanted to see and answers my questions! That's what I had assumed with people mounting it the other way in that they made the adjustable stock unadjustable coz you cant get to it, Id heard of people mounting them the other way but hadn't seen it so good...

    fitting zx6r rear shock

    cheers mate, Ive had the exhaust off a few weeks back anyway to fit the new one so that's not a problem at all, I'm fairly confident working on my bikes, just intrigued to see how the upsidedown mounting compares to the standard way round and trimming out the plastic tray which I don't really fancy.

Here is a few pics of the bikes Ive had including the...

    Bike before the MT09.....?

    the last bike I had before the MT09 was a zx6r, proper tricked out too, plus a winter hack of a cbf600

    fitting zx6r rear shock

    any chance of pics of your fitted zx6 shock mate as looking at doing this myself soon, particularly around the resvoir as yo say you mounted it up the other way, guessing this means no cutting off the tray?

    R1 to Mt09 - anyone else 'downgraded'?

    I have ridden litre bikes and grew up on sportsbikes and Ive found that out of the 2 naked bikes Ive had Ive ridden more like a hooligan coz they are just more fun. plus stick the MT in A mode and you cant not ride like a thug! in my case the decision was made for me due to an injury with my...
