Just bought a naked k6.. couple of questions

I'd like to get some bar end mirrors.. who does decent quality ones, that aren't too expensive.. also is it the M10 size blanking plugs needed to fill the empy holes left from removing the mirror?

What Renthal bars are the nearest to stock?.. i want to replace the standard bars.. don't want to have to change any cables etc

I like the Oberon mirrors. British made and good quality

If that's too expensive, then someone on here used these or similar

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350827023835

Just buy standard clutch/brake mounting plates that come without the holes for mirrors. ANY bike with clip ons will suffice.I might even have a couple spare at home, I'll have a look for you.

I bought chinese end mirrors and had them well over a year, they are fine.



There's a minor amount of bubbling on the silvery bits that hold the mirror itself, but it's out of sight and would happen to even the most expensive mirrors if you ride year round. No need to spend a fortune on bar end mirrors.

I got similar ones to the above but the round version and they are fine. Clear and no vibration. There are also inexpensive Chinese Oberon clones on ebay....

Hi.. do you have links to the one's you're talking about?

These ... but black rather than red. Depends what colour you want.

These are similar to the Oberons in that they change position...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...QAAOSwLpdW9en~

Ok just taken it out on its maiden voyage.. I'm very pleased, but have immediately noticed a difference in the shocks/suspension..it seems alot harder than my curvy.. am I just imagining this?.. I understand people change the suspension, is this to make the bumbs less harsh?.. I see the forks have preliad adjustment.. mine seem to be set to the highest level, is this the 'softest' setting?... also the seat seems a lot less padded than the curvy?

No people change the suspension to deal with the bumps, it shouldn't be worse.

Perhaps the rear is set up for someone heavier than you.

My curvy was harsh, soft at the front, harsh at the rear.

Hagon shock improved the rear, GSXR front improved the front, but mine needs new oil.

I'd suggest your suspension needs setting up for you, it's all individual.

Anyone have experience of these? http://www.performanceparts-ltd.com/.../SB-SU06-0AM-B

Anything is better than the original.

Emulators in the front are an easy option to improve the front along with your new spring kit.

Do a bit of research on here.
