Kawasaki ZX6R - Second year in Superstock 600
The Kawasaki ZX6R enters its second year with McClung Racing with a new look. It's a Kawasaki so it must be green - it's the law! (apparently).

A close-up of some parts
Paul's preferred levers
Paul's preferred levers are these ASN unbreakables, fully adjustable to suit the rider & with a clever spring system that allows them to fold away if they hit the ground. They're guaranteed not to break - or you get a new one, free.
Akrapovič racing exhaust system
Slovenian Igor Akrapovič started making exhaust systems after a ten-year career as a bike racer.
Akrapovič exhausts started making racing exhausts for Kawasaki in 1993 with the German Pro Superbike team and have since made bike exhausts for Valentino Rossi's 2013 Yamaha, and car systems up to Formula 1 standard.
They still know how to make a Superbike exhaust for a Kawasaki, though. And they sound good!
Hyperpro Monoshock
Made in the Netherlands, Hyperpro shocks are extremely light & fully adjustable. Aluminium parts are machined, not cast, for strength, and a rubber bladder replaces the floating piston to reduce "sticktion". Springs are, of course, fully progressive.
