What did you do to your bike today?

I think the clip on's were 160 and the bar ends and grips were maybe 50 combined.

Scott,
I really like your clutch and brake levers. Can you please please tell me what kind they are and where did you get them at? I m ready for the final mods on my 6R.
Thank you...

Here is a link to the ones I got, but I know there are others on ebay that may be a little cheaper.

Only thing to keep in mind if you order these is that that brake lever fit really tight when I tried to put it on and wouldn't return if I pulled the lever. The problem was on the top and bottom of the lever there's a lip around the hole that the securing bolt passes through and it's too high to allow the brake to function properly. It's a common defect in CNC levers (Chinese or Hong Kong made). Others have had the same problem on similar ones. The fix is simple and worth the effort since they're way less than ASV levers (which they are modeled after), Sand the ring around the hole on both side. You can't see it when it's installed. Try fitting first of course and make sure you have the defect first (both levers). Keep the metal bushing from the clutch lever and reuse it in the new lever. Adjust the clutch freeplay to maximum freeplay to allow you to release the cable from the old clutch and then readjust the freeplay (there should be I think 1/4" to 3/8" free play before the cable actuates). Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Installed a Scorpio i800 alarm for the final time I hope. Had to shift things around a few times, then had the brain die on me and just replaced it today. I still don't think I have the proximity sensor working that great.
Anyone else here install this on their 6R? I would be interested where you placed the components.

Took my baby out for the first time since putting the Woodcraft clip-ons on there and absolutely love how she feels now. The spider peak grips and heavy bar ends were great as well. Nice 20 mile spin just outside of town.

I got an oil change coming up very soon. Probably Thursday and while I'm at it, might take out the stock air filter and get me a K&N air filter.
Ordered a set of Race tech .95kg/mm fork springs and some fresh oil! Be doing all that at the same time next week with some new shoes... Conti-Motion!
Valves adjustment and I will work on my tune for the Marthy Danmoto with FZ6 cams. Seems to have a gain with the stock bike, can't wait to get it all tune now!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of work this week so I'm taking the bike to work tomorrow.

Finally got some fairing spacers to install the front led's and picked up a rear tire stand. Cycle gear has a sale on them half off if anyone's interested. Don't even need swingarm spools.

Rode the hell out of my bike commuting to and from work (40 miles roundtrip). Too bad it's mixed highway riding and not twisties. There is a back way to work and it does have some twisties, but haven't gone that way in years so I may take the cage to check out the road conditions. Looking for bar end mirrors right now and ordered an Alpinestars backpack last night for commuting.
Decided to hold off on the bar end mirrors for now, but ordered a Puig Dark Smoke Racing Screen, Ram Mount X grip Handlebar Mount and a battery tender cigarette lighter charger adapter.
Not done yet, but what will be done today........ When I get home from work tonight at about 930pm..
Change my oil and filter.
Clean my chain and check tension.
Tomorrow morning my bike goes in for its 16k service (actually 16350). Dealer said that estimated cost will be about $23.... Pending chain, if kinks are now too bad and need to put my new chain on. It still feels tight at the rear sprocket, but I am getting several visually noticable kinks.
