    Fishy or not?

    Ask them to show you the old engine with the same serial number. That should be easy enough, if the story is legit. I'm betting they will not be able to.

    Check your welds

    Okay, cool. Did you find out what kind of metal it is? I'm betting it's Stainless. A good tig welder can fix you right up but don't be surprised if it cracks again right next to the weld, pretty common.

    Hello

    I went from a TL1000r to the RC. I miss the rocket ship acceleration to 130mph+ and the feel of the big monster front brakes but the RC puts a big smile on my face every time I pull out of the driveway.

    What kind of sliders are needed at minimum?

    A riding buddy of mine crashed his r6 at the track and the slider punched a hole in the side of the jug. instant scrap. Plus it leaked oil on the track and cut our session short.
