Hey guys,
Looking for some advice on best way to go fixing my clip-on. I low-sided and did some minor damage, the worst of it was snapping off the stock right hand clip-on on my '04 R6.
I (used to) do most of the work on my bikes myself but have never replaced clip-ons before. Also, live downtown Boston and don't have much workspace these days, and doing more than basic stuff in a dark public parking garage sux. Surfed around for replacement options and Vortex prices look good and I've used their rearsets and thought they were nicely made. Also looked at Woodcraft (also nice stuff) and Graves which I've heard good things about, but they cost a bit more.
So I was wondering what the best way to go is: should I order a stock replacement clip-on from Yamaha or just order a set of Vortex clip-ons? I generally like to upgrade when I break things, but not sure how this job would be to do where I keep the bike now. If I had a good garage space it would be a no-brainer and I would just go with the Vortex and figure it out, but am a bit hesitant to go that route if it is a very involved job. Do I have to drop the forks? Is changing out all the controls a pain? I do have front and rear stands to use and a decent amount of tools. I had a shopmanual in pdf form but lost it when my hardrive crashed so I should get another, anyone have a link to free '04 R6 manual?
Thanks for any advice.
