    A zero gravity windscreen or a stock windscreen will work

    Does it have to be clear?

    I would, makes it easier to see when your in full tuck. But personal preference

    Check out the Zero Gravity double bubble since they allow it in Superstock classes now. Ask specifically for the race version which doesnt have the cutouts on the side so you can mount the quick release!

    That bodywork is ArmourBodies, not Sharkskins. Sharkskins have tabs on the R6 nose that go up like ears around the windshield.

    Zero gravity will work, OEM will not because of the OEM tabs on the bottom. A Zero Gravity race shield (double bubble or not) will work perfectly.

    If the bike still has the OEM fairing stay you can zip-tie the windshield to it since the R6 fairing stay is designed to work with mirrors.

    Sorry for an abrupt change of subject here, but with the bike, I got a brand new Bridgestone front race slick. I'm trying to find a comparable match for the rear , but sizing on slicks has me confused. Once again it's going on an R6. The front is a 125/600R17. Bridgestone Battlax R09AZ. RMRO4241 MCRR4241

    The rear size in a Bridgestone slick will be a 190/650R17. You could also use a 180 size race DOT.

    kanatuna You can't polish a turd..

    If you contact Stickboy, he can school you on the Stones...but Joe is right about sizing. I live in Cincinnati, when I order tires from Stick, they usually come from a hub in Indianapolis.

    Looks like the guys have you together on info though. What part of Indiana are you from?

    I'm getting conflicting information on this rear slick tire. I called a place in Colorado and the guy says run a 165/630-17 but online it says those are for the 250cc gp bikes. He said if I was on a big bike (1000) I could run a 180 or 190. This transition from motocross to road racing is kicking my ass. I don't know shit other than how to ride the damn thing. Lol

    His name is Dereck.

    Your "guy" is wrong. I run a 165 on my EX500. I would suggest you just wait and get tires at the track where you get the added benefit of a tire guy that knows his stuff.

    Good luck
