Ok, had a crash, bike goes down on one side, and snaps off the footpeg from the Valtermoto type 3.5 rearsets on the left hand side of my black FZ6....
So i need to replace said footpeg, so that i can ride the bike...no problem, i have a spare set of Valtermoto footpegs of a set of type 2 Valtermoto rearsets, that came with my ex FZ6 Cup bike...only thing is, that peg is scraped to buggery, as a result of a track stack! This is minor problem in the short term, as i enables me to be able to ride the bike...but it looks like poop, on my nice shiny bike...so i order a new set of footpegs!!!
They arrived today!!!

Got black instead of polished Aluminium this time, cause the bike has more than enough chrome, or polished metal bits on it already, these days!!!
Now, my type 3.5 Valtermoto rearsets are 2 years/ 40000km's old now, and the foot/ankle guards are starting to look a bit shabby...so i decide this is a good time to replace them with genuine Valtermoto Carbon Fibre replacement items!!!
They arrived today!!!

The quality of the CF is very good, nice and thick, about 5mm, and with a nice quality finish.
Whilst i was re-building the bike after the stack, i deceided it was time to take the Carbon Fibre Fat Bars i had on the bike when i crashed, and put the Woodcraft clip-on handlebars back on the bike...no problem, except i need to use the Valtermoto rearset, backset plates when i have clip-ons on the bike, otherwise the footpegs are too far forward, and instead of being in a racers crouch, i am sort of bent in the middle....trust me, it feels all wrong!
So it's off to the cupboard to get my existing set of rearset backset plates to fit to the bike...BIG Problem....one of the them, the left one, has gone MIA!!! The shed gets turned upside down, but to no avail, it was a case of order a new set!
They arrived today!!!

Anyway, i reckon i will be able to fit vit all on the bike tonight...after the "tin lid" is tucked up in bed, asleep!
Just one step closer to getting my black bike back to it's "mint" condition, that it was in before my bike's clash with a pi$$ed minda pedestrian, who decided that it would be a good idea to walk straight into the path of a motorbike!
