glad you are going to be ok man. always weird when someone doesn't post for a while. Could mean they got bored of the forum, or had a fatal wreck and we would never know.

he did the exact same swap on his 09ish r6. sitting right next to the r1 in the pic.

I was bored of the forum. I still checked in from time to time, just never posted anything. Psycho hit me up on Facebook, told me to make a thread.

I wanted to relay the importance of gear. If you have it, wear it. If you don't, buy it and wear it.
