A couple months ago I bought a crashed, really beat R6 cheap. It needed a clip on, lever, rearset. Bodywork was smashed. Fuel pump leaked(was gravity fed straight from tank bypassing the filter, wtf) had the battery tray cut off to accommodate a strobe kit and wiring, including the remote being woodscrewed on and holes being cut into the headlights and the strobes siliconed in. Had one literally burnt ignition coil causing it to run on three cylinders. It also for some reason had an R1 main relay for some reason. Yeeeeeah.
I had enough race spares to have the bike rideable for nothing but wanted to still do something cool.
Stripped it down and threw all the bodywork out. Bought all the mechanical and electrical parts I needed cheap and fixed those. Added a round headlights with clear lens, billet fork mounts and signals custom mounted. Bar end mirrors with some grey renthal grips. Chinese short levers I had as spares. Black frame sliders and swingarm spools. Re-covered the seats with black vinyl. Replaced the yellowed old coolant overflow tubing with.clear and the bottle with a stainless steel unit. Painted the bodywork with plastidip and the wheels with gold Krylon.
I still have Galfer stainless front brake lines to go on(thanks mina) and the black fiberglass exhaust wrap for the header came today. And after looking at these pics I will repaint the rad as well. Here's how it looks so far.
