Those should work great on the street! They should hook up especially well when you light the nitrous you're talking about installing.

Thanks! I was hoping to find a triple compound dual sport tire, but I guess you can't have everything! What ever tire is stock on the R6 is a damn hockey puck in colder temperatures, reguardless if I try and get some heat in her.

NICE!

Now... where do I get some! Good idea taking off the lower fairings for extra ground clearance. Now, If I could get the exhaust pipes out from underneath, and stop the radiator from plugging up with mud... hmmmm
