R6s are for squids

Did you pay out of pocket, insurance, etc? That's valuable info for those of us who have lowside/dropping damage that wasn't our fault.

is it just me or is the top of your forks poking too high up past the triple/clip ons?

yeah i had to pay my deductible. i have full coverage insurance, and unfortunately for me the guy that was cited in the accident didnt pay his last payment so he really doesnt have it. In ohio he has to have at least liability. so my insurance company is sueing him for the cost of damages. hopefully i get my 500 bucks back... soon! the insurance agent that i have been speaking with has told me that it could take a week to a year to see my money.

the front is lowered about 1.5 inches

lockhart philips... dont buy these if you can avoid it. they are a limited quantity item for this year. all the newer ones you dont have to worry about getting. they said on the phone that they were direct replacement pieces, but they arent. it has minor deftects like cracks in the clear coat and a lil mis fitment. if i could i would get my gytr ones back, those were the better ones. unfortunately they are discontinued.

With lowering the front end in the tripple clamps comes quicker turn-in,but you compromise stability.Lookss great,but how do you like it?? I was thinking about lowering my RR the common 5mm at the tripples,but I don't really think it's needed on the street,except for cosmetic reasons.
