Some photo's of my SB6R I took a couple of years ago. Bike is currently being put back together. Had a leaking clutch slave cylinder so I had to swing the motor out down out of the frame a couple of inches to get the slave cylinder out.

Nice 6R Muzza
Just done the same clutch slave thing on my 6, right pain
What we all want to know is........why you need a footrest hanger?

Had a slow lowside when I took my bike around the local race track about 7 years ago which bent the footper hanger. The tyres on the bike were the original ones from the factory. They looked alright but as I found out on my 3rd lap, they were hard as a rock. Nothing but stickiest tyres for me from then on. I have been meaning to replace the hanger since then but gave up on finding one till Oily mentioned he had one

7 years with a bent foot peg hanger
That's what I call riding around a problem

Very pretty Muzza. I'm afraid the clutch slaves don't seem to be very robust, probably not helped by the fact that most of these bikes will spend the winter months holed up, allowing the piston seal to stick a bit and then it gets torn out of its resting place when we fire 'em up again in Spring.

Like your polished frame. Did you do it yourself?

Thanks Jonny,
I had the frame polished by the bike shop a few years ago. Not sure what they used to polish it.
