I think it's been hard for you to source because they sold a lot of bikes w/o them.
Iconic Auctions in the US just sold an SB6R. No right side heel plate. Looking back at the 6 SB6/SB6Rs they've ... |

Phew. That was a PITA. Now at present day. Put about 650 miles on the db4 this season, just banging about. Never got the carbs right. Always felt like I had a lean condition on tip-in. Assumed I ... |

Raised EMR needles to 2nd slot from bottom. Opened slow fuel to 1.5 turns out. Still with the stumbles/backfires as I gradually rolled on.
