Puig Double Bubble came in yesterday, put in on... HUGE difference.

Ordered a set of motodynamic integrated sequential tails today.


had a douchebag at the oceanfront last night ask me why I didn't get "a REAL R6" (followed by "how fast have you gone on it") .... I was like "What are you talking about, it is...?" He's like "No.. you have an S.." - I said "It's on '03..." --- "Oh.. wow... thats clean, thought it was new..."
Guess the red flames don't give it away to the yami noobs?

Lol what an idiot.

I think he has the option of insurance looking at it and then deciding to use them or himself depending on what they say. I think, I am not sure though.

the way i understand it, ttx shocks, ttx forks and all that top of the line stuff. isnt worth it until your ridiculous fast.
the ttx shock they say doesnt work unless youre fast as fuk. otherwise youre gonna have a hard time setting it up and getting it to work properly, ive seen where a guy thats way fast was actually faster with the 46prxls, than the ttx, simply because he wasnt aggressive enough to put the ttx to use.
i suspect the 30mm kit may be the same.

I don't know why someone would say that, have you been on a bike with a ttx rear and r/t forks? It's amazing, even on the street, and you can definitely tune them for street riding.
The great think about the ttx is that is uses positive pressure for both compression and rebound unlike a single tube that only has positive pressure on the rebound stroke. You don't have to be super fast to utilize a good suspension but you could get close to reaching the limitations of a stock setup.
Although I will not disagree that r/t forks or the cartridges will be overkill for any streetbike (just like the majority of modifications one does in general) the rear shock will surely make a worlds difference compared to a stocker.

djgrom

Well he is actually right. On the street the shocks unless they are seriously numbed down actually make your ride more uncomfortable because they are made for fast paced track conditions. And very few people come close to the limits of their stock suspension on a bike, it requires a person of great skill to actually get to that point, and most people are not capable of that or do not have the experience to really justify the upgrade. I mean what do I know though, I just ride a 5hundy.

Jake....I heart you so much.

ridden with r&t forks, not ttx.
the r&t forks are great, theyre designed just for that.
i guess what im getting at is, do you really need 30mm cartridges on a street bike?
The guy that said this about the ttx, did back to back runs on the 46prxls, and the ttx36, same bike, same track, and he said plainly, the ttx doesnt work at less than 8/10 pace, at less than 8/10 pace, it actually is worse than the prxls. it basically needs to be flogged to work correctly.
Yes its going to be better than stock, on any ride, at any pace, but is it worth it for the average joe? no. its not.

Thinking about getting this and making it fit on my 2005 ZX6R
