06-07 R6 Staggered
I'm wondering if anyone could give me advice or what they have done to their 06-07 R6 to make staggered standups easier? I've been rocking em but my foot has to stand diagonal otherwise I am only on the peg not even half way and I don't know about you but that scares the **** out of me... damn tail 
Maybe OMR makes a sub cage for the bike that will help with peg placment? Like he did on the 600RR, back further and out. I used to rock miles on the 600RR but when I go to use the rear brake and take weight off my left foot, I get scared it's just gonna slip off cause I'm only half on.
Now this being a Kelm post, I'm waiting for the hate even though this is a valid question.... ********. Thanks for reading

STFU, maybe you can hopefully chime in.
I can rock foot in the seat now with tire pressure at 32 pounds and use the rear brake just fine but staggered sucks, and all I wanna do is pull it up and ride it at balance point when we're out during the street sessions so I don't look like THAT much of a squid. haha.

I cant believe 11 ppl have read this and not posted. If OMR or anyone makes a subcage thats your best bet. Otherwise try to find a real big peg. Maybe ESD or Sick would have those big pegs

I'd like to get a sub cage, if not I'll just get bigger pegs but I heard the bracket it's self is cast aluminumn (hollow) so over time it devlopes stress and breaks in half.
Make it work, Make it work.
and that's prob cause they didn't know who I was.
I bet this blows the **** up with hate by the time I wake up tomorrow.

Re: 06-07 R6 Staggered
i dunno if i could help u out on this one... because i never had a problem with the R6 tail on the other model nor this one, where everyone else was screaming about it.
umm, i just rock it as i feel it would work naturally, i also dont use the arch of my foot, i stand on the peg with the tips of my toes... so that also may put my foot back a few inches that makes the stock tail oblivious to my leg, but thats all i know.
post up a picture of you doing a staggered if you can, and lemme see what you are doing.. i will post a pic of me rocking staggered on the 06 when i get home.

ill begin. stop sucking so bad that will help. theres plenty of ppl rocking that r6(that didnt pay 30000 dollars for it) and have no problem doing any sorts of stunts with the stock pass rearsets. excuses are like ********, they smell real bad.

if you would stop riding wheelies like an old women pushing a walker it would help you out alot. you got typical squid style, hunching up over the front of the bike.....lean back some get your chest away from the windscreen.

If I payed as much over sticker as you did I'd want it to wheelie itself

Re: 06-07 R6 Staggered
I was gonna say the same thing homie said about your posture and position on the bike, it's the problem. stand straight up, arms straight, legs straight. you will have no problems then.
oh, and the pic, I meant of the left side, so I could see your staggered leg, but that pic says it all. fix your style, and you won't have issues.

if you have any kind of inginuity, common sence, basic knowledge/skill in welding, and time you could make a sub cage yourself. I did. Cost me like 40 bucks in barstock. Ill see if i can get my inlaws to mail me pics.

Re: 06-07 R6 Staggered
p.s. kelm... the peg fold is only because of that angle the rear pegs have, they do turn slightly on me, but nothing major.
you were talking about peg flex, I haven't noticed it that much, how much weight do you put on your peg? I usually even my weight out, but I guess I have to test it out to see how much flex it actually does occur, putting my weight back there like that.
