So with a lot of folks posting their build threads, figured I'd start my own and post pics along the way. This might start to look tacky with a lot of gold parts on there, not my style, but figured yellow and gold will be a lot different than any others on this forum.

Starting point:

08 R6 LE, Puig Z-racing CF windscreen, Comp Werkes FE kit.


Current important mod list:

1. Full Leo Vince Factory R SS headers ,Ti can
2. Bazzaz Z-Fi fuel controller
3. Carrozzeria wheels
4. Accumen gear indicator
5. Brembo RCS
6. Fren Tubo Carbotech Type 4 brake lines
6. Alth full floating front rotors
7. Machined/lightened stock rear rotor
8. Stock gearing/drive train
9. Shermoto clutch lever / Brembo brake lever
10. Renthal clip-ons
11. Vortex rearsets
13. Woodcraft case covers
14. Woodcraft frame sliders
15. Vortex rear spools
16. Armour bodies bodywork
17. TechSpec snakeskin traction pads
18. Graves exup eliminator
19. Clear alternatives integrated tail light
20. Fender eliminator

To be added (in hand but not installed): Ohlins 30mm fork cartridge kit, Bauce Flashed ECU

the red wouldnt match though....i'd go black lol

But no...pm'd a member on some slide stops (would like those before doing another tune) as well as planning on doin the tires for us this week and also (which doesnt help) the levers i told you about that i really want, just went on a limited time special...great...

we'll see...i still need/want a new dynotune (especially if i put the stops on) and that'll be another 270 bones which i dont have haha

Stopping radius?


It's not so much like "you can get away with just using the front" as much as it's "you can also use the rear if you're not an idiot."

But Deezy was saying ditch the switch, not the rear brake. Your brake light is still going to engage because you're using the front brake.
