new kid to the block

[arctic silk]

Hi all,
Thought I would say a quick hi to introduce myself.
Never had an r6 before but am covering a 2co into a track bike at the moment. So far so good with her apart from snapping 5 of the 8 header bolts when removing the exhaust. Having a full mhp system instead. Ended up having to drill, tap and helicoil all of them in the end! Did a proper job at least! So currently waiting to get my exhaust back. Hopefully it turns up in time as I need it next Thurs for Silverstone!

Currently I have done the following:

Silkolene oil change
Coolant change
K&N oil filter
K&N air filter
Full superbike bodywork race fairing
R&G crash bungs
Double bubble screen
MHP full system w/ clubman can
Rental 520 chain and sprocket conversion
PC3
All bolts swapped for stainless
HRC rear reservoir
HEL front and rear braided lines w/ brembo fluid change

Hoping to get a custom map for my mhp system on wed too.

And hell man- get some pics up, let's see your pride 'n' joy

Never had issues with k&n myself in the past, perhaps you had a Friday afternoon one!! Deffo not my first bike. Been riding since I was 6 yrs old. My bikes get treated better than my mrs. I even have a Ducati 749 coffee table in my front room (I make things like this for Ducati UK).
