Looks much better.

But you should see if your buddy will swap cailpers with you. The gold pots in yours are ugly and that gold doesn't match the wheels, either. My bike and your buddys bike have silver pots in the calipers. Go for those and your shit will be tits.

Also why is there so much fork sticking out of your triples? Mine are flush with the triple... the R6 is twitchy enough as it is, I wouldn't drop it... if anything I might raise my triple about 5mm, one racer told me he did that and it helped...

Maybe yours is a bit different though?

The fork tubes are longer on the '09s, that's why they're sticking through. They all come like that from the factory. The handling on the '09s is better than '06.

Forks look better, but not feeling the gold wheels.

Nothing wrong with that. But there's a difference to being a straight shooter and taking a simple "not really my thing" comment so seriously. LOL
