so... the time has come... I have grown tired of riding crouched down on my bike. after debating on selling my beloved red bike for either a up right bike or busa to streetfight, I decided to make due with what I had and build the upright I want.
I have a 07 r6 that ive had for about a year now and $4k later, I have a decent low mileage r6 with tons of track goodies. that's what it was originally built for. an everyday rider with track bike components.
i'm going full streetfighter on this thing now. I'm pretty sure that the fz8 throttle cable and clutch lines are gonna easily swapped. one issue is the fact the my ram air is between my forks, so I'm gonna have to figure out a way to get dual headlights so the bike can breath still. prolly gonna go with the newer speed triple headlights, with a fly screen. and prolly trail tech vapor gauge to clean everything up. sorta curious what Yamaha speedos are interchangeable. I'm gonna order a new triple tree and risers and dirt bike bars. some handgaurds and bar end mirrors. I think after all that, I just have to hide wiring, mount rectifier, and get some adjustable rearsets. m sure there will be other goodies here and there like new coremoto lines in the front with a little more length on em. prolly some red samco hose lines and mcgeyver a belly pan from track fairings. I need to look into radiator gaurds as well...
itll be a fun project, and I havent really seen a lot of r6r streetfighters and I feel itll make a sick one.
next is a list of all the parts it has now.
Shorai lithium ion battery
