Stuff Dave uses / recommends:

2005 Kawasaki ZX6R 636
The best 'cheater' 600 bike around, even a year later.
Armour Bodies Race Fairings
Excellent quality race glass, great fit, very crashable.
Vortex Racing
Adjustable rearsets and sprockets. The rearsets are rock solid and protect the bike during a crash.
Woodcraft engine cover
After scrubbing through my OEM stator cover (left side) at Jennings, I replaced it with a Woodcraft cover.
Akrapovic Full Race Exhaust
Very nice sound, shaves 12lbs of weight, and gives about 7HP.
Power Commander III Fuel Injection Module
A must-have with the race exhaust.
GPR Steering Damper Stomp Grip traction pads
Pit Bull front/rear stands
KawiForums.com
A great source of information for Kawasaki bikes. Not quite as much drama as GSB.
Georgia Sport Bike forum
'GSB - We know drama'
58cycle.com
A reputable online store for Kawasaki aftermarket parts.
Ron Ayers
Lowest prices around for stock/OEM parts.
McMaster-Carr
Need tools? If these guys don't have it, it doesn't exist.
