I called Alba the other day to get some nerf bars and someone there told me there bars did not mount up to the 06 because the frame is a little different than the 04/05. Is this true?

They should mount up fine the motor mounts are diff but it is the actual mount that are diff. not the frame I have AC w/ roll pegs for a 05 on my 06 and the mounted up fine. I have sold a few sets of 05 pro-pegs that went on 06s and no problems either.

they should mount up fine you may run into a problem on the nerfs that mount in between the front engine mounts instead of outside of them. These type of nerfs need a small spacer.

Ya do gotta watch though, they like to show 300ex's coming with 20" rear tires sometimes for example.;)

Will the Sub Frames Swap?

Or will it throw the Air-Box, Exhaust and Rear Plastic out of wack?


Someone needs to try this while they are doin a rebuild, jus to see.
