Hoblick Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hell I will be riding before hob does. This is true lol.I was debating doing suspension now or wait till winter, think ill wait till winter and give Rueben a call.The body work is on its way, gotta fit it, then it goes out to paint.Last thing mechanically im waiting on is the brembo 19x18 master, ferodo STAC brake pads, and ASV levers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 If you let him ride that thing you'll probably not get it back.Once you come to the Dark side, there is no return.:devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into Optimal for my "new" bike, but I have the stock header and according to their website you can't use the stock header with their skins. I have also heard that the Optimal skins have had a hard time taking paint. Any truth to this on your end, Hobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well no issue woth stock head pipe, but the slip on may affect fitment. Had to hack up my buddies lower so it woukd fit with his jardine can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiztedRabbit Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 i'll post up on this.. some of their body work will not work with stock headers.. they are either to wide or to low.. and will burn through.. i and the wife both have full exhaust so never had an issue.. as far as paint goes.. no issues what so ever with EITHER of my sets for my r6.. i painted my old set myself did fine.. and i had my newest set professionally painted.. and it is amazingmy wifes set had a slight issue with the gel coat on the upper only.. but JOHN @ optimal racing did us right and took care of it.. it still took the paint fine and its holding up quite well after a little extra work from the painter.. but my newest tail and the wifes second set looks perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Good info here, guys! A full set of Optimal skins (as I am sure Ryan knows by now) is less than half of a set of Sharkskinz. The ones on the newer bike are kinda rashed up, and I have been patching and painting them in the garage for a couple days. But I hope to replace them in the offseason and use the current ones as backups should gravity become overwhelmingly apparent mid corner some where.
