r6 08-09 models

[h_tron]

Hey guys just want a lil bit of help.
I was told that the 08 and 09 r6 is the same shape, so foolishly without any researching spotted a nice new double bubble windscreen on tard me pretty cheep say its for a 07-08. buy the screen thinking "sweet 08 = 09" and surprise, it doesn't fit. my emails to the guy i bought it off asking him whats going on have been unawnsered.

next question would be, anyone want to buy a cheep screen off me, this is the same, except mine is smokey tint not dark tint.

cheers

He probably made the same mistake

The model years for the R6 are 99-2002, 2003-2005 (although 05 has USD forks), 2006-2007, 2008-

The 2006 and 2008 bikes do look the same from a distance, but they are infact two very different bikes cosmetically, and also in terms of chassis etc.

Hopefully he'll admit his cock up, because there isn't a lot that is interchangable between the two different models.

Also, if you are buying from Ebay, be sure to check you aren't buying an item for an 'R6S' - that's the 2004 model that is still on sale to the US, unchanged from 2004.

yeah i was pretty sure i was right, and that this is probably a 06-07 screen not a 07-08. have emailed him twice an still no reply. he still sells screens on trade me, but im kind of holding off hijacking his auctions to hit him up about it
