Now here is where she stood before i decided to change my entire plan:
Frame was bedliner (keeping this) the engine was high heat matte (getting rid of) and at this point i decided to say screw it, who needs to ride over the summer
So i ended up deciding to do basically a full R6 swap on the bike! Let's get started!
Forks are gone, and had to touch up some areas of the paint because it got moved around.
See ya later Swingarm!!
Engine getting a fresh coat of high heat, GLOSSY, black this time
. Matte wasn't really going to look good with a matte frame. This looks way better!
See? Much better!
Gotta match up those bolts!!
Engine got test fitted inside, with the main bolts attached (that one huge bolt that slides through the whole frame and engine.. good lord
)
**apparently have no picture of the engine fully in but it basically looks the same as the one above.
Now i clearly forgot to be taking pictures at this point, so my new plan was to get a YZF tank to fit on instead of that ugly ass Fizzer tank. So i bought a 05 YZF tank and decided to start mounting it. I created a rear mount using a bar and some bolts and bolted the tank down using that bar (as i was a little bit off on my measurements but it works
)
I haven't mounted the front yet as im trying to figure out what im going to do but so far its working well!
Another picture of the mount. Again this is still in test fitting mode, nothing finalized!
Drilled and mounted the old Fizzer pump on the bottom of the tank and ran all new lines. Much better set up now!
Hated the ugly ass rear end these bikes had, especially the seats, so that has to go! Time to swap in an 06 Yamaha R6 Seat and call it!
So far so good, that's all the pictures i have so far but will be taking more soon!
