Nah 2005 CBR600RR, used, decent condition, few minor problems. The previous owner had a stock rear set on the right and a Razzio? left side, was awkward haha Had two of the rods instead of one, a vertical from foot peg to where the stock one usually bolts in, and another from there up to the gearbox.
Put the new rear sets on, yea, i used that LocTite.
One question though. I greased the pivot point of the shift level with white lithium grease....should i be using something different?

Always ride where you can be seen! If my side of the road has two lanes and thick traffic, I prefer to stick to the side of my lane that's near the neighboring lane. I've watched some riders nearly get run off the road from a car changing lanes (before/after another car) into them because they were so far off to the side that the lane appeared empty.
And lithium grease is fine, especially if its a waterproof type. It just lubricates the joint. Check/clean it (or any other lubed point) occasionally to remove any dirt buildup. Road grime can become abrasive even if its caked in grease.
