    Vortex Sliders?

    Anyone use these sliders before? $66.95 - 01-07 Honda CBR600 F4i Vortex Black frame sliders | StarCycle, USA Just wondering if they are heavy duty enough or if the ends are just going to instantly melt away.

    Is that because they don't make chrome sliders?

    No, with the aftermarket rearsets the shifter pivot is moved from the kickstand bracket to the rearset itself and the a new linkage is included. There is no room to flip the bracket in this case.

    However JC I think to go to GP all you need to do is by the right shift lever from woodcraft for around 80 bucks.

    Yeah excactly...i think i may need a shorter shifter rod too since it attaches lower on the shifter and closer to the shifter arm but that is pretty cheap.

    I'll get it right after i get:

    -track bodywork

    -PC III and full tune (have MJS header)

    -Pilot Race tires

    -new steering stabilizer (just sold my GPR)



    Very nice bike BTW Ceo

    Should get pirellis

    I wish you'd told me you were selling your GPR I need a damper like WHOA

    And thanks... needs a few things this winter but after that she's ready to race



    edit: btw for most race bodywork you will either need to get an aftermarket system w/o a catalytic converter or do some bellypan trimming (hopefully not so much that your bellypan's ability to hold fluid and thus be race legal is compromised). Not to mention the stock cat will bubble the paint on your race plastics.

    Yeah i actually have set super corsas (sp2) take offs on the way (just one trackday on them) gonna give'm a try...i've heard good things

    I posted the dampener up on the R6 forum but it went pretty quick. I'm going to with Scotts or Hyperpro for my next one

    I have The MJS header (so no cat). It was really nice to get rid of that giant box of crap. I couldn't believe how much that weighed when i took it off

    you don't want a GPR chris... by far the biggest POS on the market - they leak, they underperform and they are made terribly - after having 2, i will never use a gpr again
