    Unhappy Track day bites back.

    Im looking for some help with my bike.
    Im after some clip on's "handle bars" for my gsxr600 K6, either some suzuki one's or any other brand that will do the trick, im hoping that they are universal both broke in the same slide.
    I would just transfer all my hand instruments onto the new bars.
    And i also need some rear sets for my foot leavers as both sides are broken
    I was told the that F1 Engineering could help be with this, but forgot the website that i was told.
    The bike dicided it was time to send itself down the track, with out telling me
    im not to worried about the fairings at the moment, time will come for them, i just want the bike running again.
    Will try local reackers for the parts, but just checking to see if any one on KB had parts they wanted to get ride of first.

    So you're the rotten bugger that flicked dirt all over the track. Held everyone up for ages, you did.... Actually, from the tyre marks left, I'd say that you hit the painted line on the inside of turn 3
    Sorry, can't help with bits tho
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    You wern't the only one to flip off there, some shella on a Thunderace did the same. You can fix bikes and get bits for them but the body is harder to fix, I hope you came through OK. Don't try to hard.

    F1's stuff is fairly nice, but fkn steep! Check if Shaun has any stuff. Failing that, find a reputable store on eBay.

    Local wreckers will unlikely have anything for a bike that new.

    That was bert is evil, she actually had it sorted on the grass till she gassed it to get back on track, then it was 360 spin slingshot time

    I'll second that, all my experience with wreckers thus far has been shit.

    Otherwise give Nicko a yeodle--hes raced em for awhile and might have bits left --If it helps I can loan ya a set of race K4 clipons till ya get sorted
