    !!!!911!!!! 08 gsxr 600 Parts !wrecked my bike open lapping before the first race!

    Looking for some 08 gixxer 600 parts, hopefully before this weekend. Lost the rear in turn two at HPR today and low sided, then the bike decided to high side.... Still unsure what I did: Novice mistake, hitting the bumps, or pushing a street tire too hard (Q2)........novice mistake. But, either way I need a few parts to get me race ready this weekend. I'm still new to the area, so I don't know who carries what in stock. Any direction towards possible venders or someone who has some spares for sale would be awesome. Right now Mike from HPR is looking into his stock pile, but is unsure what he has at this time. I should hear from him soon. What I need so far:

    Sub-frame
    Tail fairing
    Fairing stay
    Gas tank
    Wind screen
    clip-on bars
    Seat if SS tail
    Battery


    Hopefully that's it. Also, since there is a great possibility I will not get my bike ready for this weekend, and I already preregistered and paid for the races; how does all that work out if I can't race? Is it a loss or can it transfer towards the second race weekend? Any info helps. Thanks.

    Andrew

    sorry I can't help with the parts. However if you email Rachael she can transfer the payment to a credit. This must be done before the weekend and not after

    hope that helps

    I might be able to pull this off if anyone could help me find a fairing stay, otherwise S O L. The rest can be picked up easily or modified to work.

    Try shipping a fairing stay over night from ebay. At least get it Friday and be able to make it Saturday.

    I was able to get the bike back together for the race weekend, and it rode straight and did its job. What an awesome day! Can't wait for round 2. Thank you everyone that helped and offered help; It is greatly appreciated. I also figured out I lost the rear by, the obvious answer, cracking the the throttle open a little too early and a little too much. Almost did the exact same thing in the exact spot. Got a lot to learn and a lot a seconds to shave off, but I do know the MRA is the sh!t, and the move here to race was well worth it. Yay Yeah!
