    I had a low speed laid down last (caught some loose gravel riding on a tire that i knew i shouldnt have been not enough tread left on it and ordered a new one before i ate the ditch :( ) night on my k6 gsxr 1000, i know we have a few motorcycle riders on here. My bike isnt to bad just need a few replacement parts thought someone might know people that have parts.

    What i need:

    Left complete rear set: Shifter and all
    left mirror
    and a windscreen.
    a few fairing stays and screws (these ill grab a new complete pack though)

    If you just want factory I would say try the ebay first. Although ebay luck is about 50/50 cause people jack shipping way up recently.

    LP replacement parts & after market stuff I always stick with the main big name online retailers (chaparrals), that you see in the magazines. Its just easier with them since they are proven retailers and usually get orders out within the sameday/next.

    Id go aftermarket. My buddy downed his bike going 120 two months ago. I wish he was in the position to just buy a few parts... The bike is in 100 times more parts then what you are ordering.... Atleast he is alive though.

    Didn't know you rode... I'm on the market for one right now (probably a 600), planning on buying sometime this winter.
    If you know of any good deals around shoot me a text please :)

    Friend of mine recently laid his ninja down the same way and broke his collar bone. Funny thing is he kept making fun of another friend for always slowing down when he sees cinders...then he laid it down and hurt himself and had to fix his bike lol. But like what was said at least he's alive. Can't say that about all my friends who have wrecked a bike.

    I don't mind doing 120 normally save that for then open hwy even 140, but gotta be safe about it. Thank god I always wear a helmet no matter how far I go cause I smacked my noodle pretty hard. I have been riding for only about 5 years and made a rookie mistake riding on that tire and paid for it that won't happen again especially since I love to almost lay on my side through the corners.

    dingo I'll deff keep an eye out for a 600-750 for you and riding exp before?

    I may have to dig up my buddies bike (RIP Lexi) He had to name it. Haha. It was a 2004 Yamaha R1. It was extended, turboed, just rediculously fast. My buddy weighs 220 and this bike with him on it hit over 200. He said he never topped it out. It was stupid fast. Im in the market for a bike too. Im looking for an r6. But I have to decide between crazy awesome tanks, an r6, or a mitsubishi evo.... Hard decision but I think the tanks are winning out right now.
