Sherman's 2008 R6 Track Build Thread
Hi everyone!
I decided to post about my 2008 R6 build/track update to throw a little variety on here  Long story short, my first bike was a 2008 R6, got into an accident, sold it and then managed to buy it back. So here it is!

My GPR damper
Started stripping down the tail section today too. Removed the passenger pegs and fender eliminator kit.
N-Tec take offs (tread wasn't done by me lol)

I decided to hold off on the track plastics, as I am too slow to be needing those for now. So as of right now, I will just be sticking to trusty ol' painters tape.
Zero Gravity double bubble windscreen
Ballistic battery 4 cell
No-name brand shorty levers
My GoPro (one of the few locations I will place it at. Any other suggestions on where to mount? I would like somewhere to view the speedo)

How'd you adjust to the jump to an R1? I've been eyeing R1's more and more lately and I think I'm a fan of the 08's body style.

it wasnt bad, it def has alot more power! i went from running the r6 hard to hardly running the r1 and getting the same results. its a torque machine compared to the 6. im happy with the jump up.

I did an 08 R6 build over the winter of 08-09. Look it up if you want some ideas.

I've actually never really ridden a litre bike so I wouldn't know. I'm excited to try one in the future though!

Ever consider selling the standard length levers as well? Looks like you're progressing well.

I considered it and actually came really close to carrying them but some complications came up and I had to hold that thought for a while. Hopefully in the near future though!

Ouch!! Glad you were able to walk away from it. Gotta love the track! 
Your pictures look nice! What type of camera do you use?

For the most part. I took a turn too hot and the bike slid out from under me and I slid and tumbled for a bit. Luckily my Dainese suit had those plates on my shoulders or my shoulder would of been focked. In all honesty, it was kind of fun. I knew I was going to crash eventually and I'm glad I'm fast enough to actually have a real crash
