ZX6R - im giving some serious thought to...

That is pure utter complete ******** - frontal impact??? How many Kwaks have you ridden? I have a 70 profile on my kwak - so what does that mean?

Agree with all of the above... I have a 120/60 on my ZX7 instead of the 120/70 as standard, because it was cheap (ie free) - and it hasn't half made the bike steer nicely.

Chilll ....I did say I knew nothing about this first!
I meant that if i'd found there was something different on the front of my second hand bike, I'd have a second glance to see if it was a cheapo ebay fix. That's all. I'd imagine anyone else would do the same

I think he's just tried of people saying " I don't know anything about this so here's my advice"

Worth checking this out:
F model:


G model:


Fair difference between the two. neither are expensive 2nd hand. See if you can check the usual "hinge in the middle" suspects mentioned above:

Wheel bearings
Head races
Swing arm bearings
Shot tyres
Forks / shock.

None of the above are terribly expensive to sort, but it's all about haggling points isn't it?
