Hey everyone, I was looking at purchasing a stabilizer, finally, and came across a couple here.

One for a 06-08 R6 2 bolt, and another for a 06-07 R6 1 bolt. Both listings have the same description, not a whole lot of help, neither was the response I received from their store. I have an 06 R6R, just need to know which one to go for. Thanks!

You could ask the manufacturer

Let us know what you find out though. I think the newer R6R, you have to drill two holes into the frame to mount it, but I dunno. That's the main thing that sways me against it. I'm curious to know for sure now.

Waiting for reply from them...

I would make sure with the seller, but I have an 08 with the scotts damper, and the front cover on my tank has a single bolt that holds it down. So for the damper rod there are a total of three bolts one that holds down the tank cover, and then two bolts that are drilled into the frame. So I would assume that the 08 would be the single bolt, not sure how the tank cover is on the 06. I would say go for the one listed for the 06-07 if the one in the pic looks like it would fit, because the 08 does not look like the one in the pic.

This is what they said, helpful enough to tell me that there is only one mount for the 06 r6r. This is what hey said...

Dear Zac,

We only have one mount for this bike. The frame bracket has a
center tank mount and two outbound mounts as well. I have attached the
instruction sheet for you to see how it mounts.

Thank You,
Jake

Hi, apparently you offer two different kinds of damper kits for my 2006
R6R. A two bolt kit and a one bolt kit. My question to you guys is which
do I need to purchase. Thank you.

so.... you have to drill the frame for the two outboard mount bolts, right?

Yeah the damper comes with a punch, drill bit, and tap. It is really easy to install.

 

[mason1800]

Is there any drilling needed for the 2008 R6?

 

[zac5876]

Yes, drilling two holes is required. Very easy I might add.
