A bike story.

“Get away from my bike you madman!!”
“Aaaaaahhhhh, what have you done?!?!”

“Oh, that’s what you were doing!”

Integrated tail lights, I’ve got the same in my R6 but the previous owner put them in. Was it complicated to do?

How is the plastic bit on the tank on your R6? One side of mine flew off on the motorway and apparently it’s a common theme with the post 06 R6s.

Any links please? Would like to do it to my 02 R6. Thank you.

My R6 is an '08 and to put the new tail tidy in was a PAIN in the arse. It’s fine if you know what you are doing - which I didn’t but my friend did - as you have take off the whole seat/back fairing section and get under the alarm to be able to undo the four bolts. When it was a mess, as you see in that photo, this was what we had to get it to in order to put the tail tidy on!

As for the tank protectors, I got them from Seton Tuning. You need to stick them on with Tiger Flex which is like a sticky black glue. Leave them on overnight to dry on a paddock stand if you can so that gravity doesn’t risk causing one of them to slide off on the side stand side. I used masking tape round the edges just to make sure they stayed in place whilst drying. Not had any issues with them coming off and I was doing 140 on the track the other day! They are very helpful there so you can ask whatever you like. The only thing is they are made to fit the '08/'09 model. I am not sure if the 06/07 tank is the same. If it is they will fit fine. And they only come in that graphite colour, which suits my bike fine but you’ll have to spray 'em if you have a pink R6 or something.

Any more questions and ask away.
