Nice bike. I am jealous.

Mind if I ask how much you dumped on it?

I'm not sure why everyone seems to have a problem with kawasuckys and suzi q's (although the suzukis attract the most squids by far because they look good on paper). I'd like to know why as well. Yamaha has had some severe problems however, so I see why they have somewhat of a bad reputation.

That's awesome. It's the body style i like, with a more useful motor than the new ones. Raven is awesome. Inverted forks with radial brakes ++
A really nice carbon fiber can would really make that bike look awesome.

some companies carbon fiber unravels and yada yada yada. Sometimes big twins can blow up a CF can. But i really doubt you'll have any problems with your R6.
But buddy had a CF two bros on his RR for over 8k miles and nothing ever happened. His dad has carbon fiber two bros on his VFR, no problems.
I'm getting a carbon fiber high mount for my bike as well.
