97 ZX6R - hell of a time finding aftermarket parts

[ronjonjd]

Hey all,

I am having a hell of a time finding aftermarket parts for my bike.
its a 97 ZX6R.
Everytime I check on a mfg website the parts available are for 98 and up.
Body parts, rear sets, engine parts, exhaust, everything.

I was wondering what was interchangeable from the 97 to the 98,
I was told that the rear subframe is the same so the rear tail can be switched over.
What about the frame itself?
I want a set of sliders, but the only company making them for my bike is R&G Racing out of the UK and its a pricey kit cause the coolant tank has to be relocated. If I relocate the coolant tank myself, can I use a set of sliders from a newer ZX6R?

Also stuff like steering stabilizers, exhaust headers and so on.
Any help or pointers as to what from the 98 fits on my 97 would be great

Cheers
Ron

here are some of the goodies i have got for my 97 zx6r

http://stores.ebay.com/OSF-Inc-Adjustable-Rearsets

i love these rear sets fully adjustable and look good - they are the same as the zx7r ones

with your exhaust you can basically get a can off anything(ebay for $300 i think got me a akra titanium race pipe) and motorcycle exhaust pros in moss st will make it fit, as for headers off other bikes im not sure.
