Got a buddy here in Vegas that just picked up a '09 red/white R6. The thing about it is that it's the only one that comes with black forks. Good thing is that he only intends to race it and couldn't care less what color forks he has, so he's gonna swap my gold ones for his black ones. Reason is because my gold ones don't even come close to matching my gold wheels.
So here's the bike as it sits now. COme Friday at 2pm it'll have the new black ones on it and I'll get the before/after pics up. The black ones will totally complete the looks and set the bike apart from the rest a bit. ![]() ![]()

How is it weird, they're both stock forks. It would make sense they're rated the same.

Wheels are staying. I still have the Anny wheels for track, too.

Nice dude... that will look much better. It bugged me how the wheels and forks didn't match. I like my black forks.
They're going to be getting some work done on em, too ![]() Nope... diff colors, diff color forks. From 06+, they have had black forks and gold forks to go with the diff colored bikes.

The forks and wheels look like they match in the first pic but if they don't as you stated then I agree...black tubes will look alot better imho.
Painting the stock can sounds like a winner too. I may do that on the wife's R6. |
