Congrats on the new bike Chris! Too bad I didn't get to take the 1k for a spin before you let it go :cries:

What parts did you order?

Lastly, what pics? :lol:

i dont see anypics unless you got one of those invisible R6s they made only a few o them last year .. :lol:

Congrats Chris!

VIR!!! :nod2:

I ordered body work,pipe,power commander,sliders.spools,clip ons,rear sets,steering damper bracket and waiting for glen to return me call about suspension.Sorry about pics having trouble

Good luck with the new R6. I'm guessing a name change is in order? :)

Congrats on the bike!!

OTOH - If you are talking about getting your suspension done at TPM by Glen, I say ya take a pass.....nothing against Glen but if you want it done right I suggest Thermosman www.thermosman.com or Pete Kates at GMD Boston or even Max at Traxxion. Anyone can do suspension but these guys are the guys who are tuning suspension for top guys in AMA, FUSA, WERA and CCS. They REALLY know what they are doing.

Just my .02

lol hope TPM doesn't read this :confused:

I could care less if they read it....the truth is that the guys I listed are suspension EXPERTS....period. Not that TPM cannot set up a good bike but those guys listed do it for a living and have been doing it on the top level for years.

Just go to www.amasuperbike.com and look at the results and who the people list as their suspension guys. Thermosman, Traxxion, GMD, CTR, Kyle Racing are all listed it there. The new AK 20 Axxion cartridige kits are getting great reviews and they are a true drop in kit and can be reused once you change bikes.

I look at it this way.....do it right the 1st time and work with the best you can afford.

I would also recomend Solid Performance in PA. And KPS in NJ.
KPS is well known for dirtbikes but Micky assembled the forks on my R1 and they are great. He also got them done for me in one day!!!

I know KPS but who is Solid Performance??

FWIW - when it's time to service my forks and shock on my 426 I'll go to KPS but I would NEVER have him do my forks or shock on my race bike. I know it's the same thing (both have forks and shocks) but if I'm going to spend my cash on a suspension....I'm going to do it with a guy who knows road racing.....same goes for my dirt bike, I'm going to take it to a dirt bike guy....NOT a road racing guy.

If you want your suspension done right....take it to the people who know road racing.....period.

Thanks for all of the advice from everyone,i decided to order the shock from penski and just change the springs and oil in the shocks for right now.Money going fast and still trying to go to vir.Over the winter i will have the forks done.Still having trouble with pics.I need the geek patrol to come and help!
