    Looking forward to the next few rs660 video’s I was having trouble deciding which parts to go with for mine this came out perfect timing if you could possibly do a build series showing the installation process that would be great as there isn’t a whole bunch out there

    I've watched this video probably 10 times and I just noticed.... I've got the same rear stand. Ha! Looking forward to the next video.

    Thanks for making this video, Kaleb! There are a lot of solid aftermarket products now for the 660 (not that it's been 1.5 years since release), but one of the weakest areas appears to be bodywork. Based upon feedback in the forums, most of the options are mediocre quality. I am leaning towards Armour Bodies, which apparently requires woodcraft triple/clipons? Anyhow, looking forward to your future content. So happy for you that you got your own 660! (P.S. Do the COTA trackday with 316! There are still spots.)

      I will be at the Cota trackday instructing! I just bought hotbodies bodywork because it’s cheap and easy to get but they all seem to be not great quality

      Never got around to it life’s been crazy racing and testing. Honestly the Rs660 stock is really fun on the track! I just think the Clíp ons help a lot and Pirelli SC3 trackday tires are awesome you get great grip and consistent wear that lasts a decently long time!

    I'm about to order this as my first bike, for a 80% track purpose ride. Great video! Gotta go with the Stars and Stripes! No too interested in street riding, really just want to get into track riding as a hobby and the RS660 seems to be a great start. Do you ride on the street Kaleb? And if I'm going to go with a track specialized bike do you think this or maybe a sumo is a better option?
