Hi people, Ive been reading with interest for a while and finally bit the bullet and started modding by bike.
So far ive taken what is a stock 2010 ER6, swapped in some forks and brakes from ninja1000,Top triple from a 03 z1000, a swing arm from a 2015 versys, added a drag bar and shorter levers. A tail light with integrated indicators, and LED headlight.
Still to go is a 6inch rear wheel, a front cowl and a smaller gauge as well as one day take the plunge and shorten the tail.

Please ignore the gauge. It’s fitted just enough so i can ride

Looks good mate . Good work so far .

will a 6" wheel/190 tire fit in the swingarm? That's a lotta tire for a bike that size.

 

[Auser6guy]

Apparently yes, according to the questionable Indonesian gentleman I met over the internet. He said its a straight swap, and you can fit a 180, 190 or a 200. Time will tell as im waiting on the shipping at the moment.

The gauge I bought reads fuel full at 5-7 ohms and empty at 98 ohms
The standard fuel sender is full at 8 ohms and empty at 210 ohms.
By my reckoning i need a 200 ohm resistor in parallel with the sender to get it accurate can someone confirm im on the right track?
The new gauge also requires a 34hz signal to read correctly at 60kmh(35mph in the old money) by my calculations the front sprocket with a single pulse per rev will yield 24hz. Anyone done any speedo healing via a cheap and nasty,easy to install method ?

that one?

and yes, with a 6" you can reasonably run any of those tires, although a 180 will run out of lean angle a little earlier than the 190 or 200

All things look like a headlight cowl to a man with a Dremel....

 

[Auser6guy]

A ninja 300 front screen. I might make another one bit wider to cover more of the forks.

 

[Auser6guy]

Update. 6 inch rear fitted with 180 rear tyre. A 190 would probably fit but the 200 will not.
Bought 330mm brembo front discs and 250mm rear disc and caliber from the same 2015 Versys that I got the aluminium swing arm from. Got a z1000 master cylinder to go on shortly.
The R1 shock im adapting is coming together. The spring has been swapped to 1100lbs(21kg/mm)
Ive got another low rise handlebar to try.

Ill post a few pics to tell the story eh ?

Italian brakes... 330mm

 

[Auser6guy]

Matris steering damper. Need some spacers as I have 30mm riser on the bar

180 rear on custom 6 inch rim

How it looks today

Awesome ride brother. You should be very proud of your work so far! :rock:

I had an unrestricted versys 650 as a commuter for a while- great motors.
I really like what youve done so far with the er6.

 

[Auser6guy]

Thanks guys. Brakes and low bar go on this weekend. Then ill ride it till i muster up the courage to chop the subframe

 

[Auser6guy]

Wont mention the dramas i had to day but bigger brake rotors installed front and back. Z1 master cylinder installed. All bled and working.
Need to get the back shock on now and its functionally finished. Then i can start on the cosmetic side

My favourite angle

So ive decided to take it a different route...
Ive ordered a set of zx10r forks. The z1000sx ones i have were a straight fit but look too spindely
The 2004/5 zx10r forks have the same axle diameter (20mm) and so i can use the 650 wheel. I need an 08/10 lower triple so ive ordered one of them. Ive also decided on an MT03 headlight with kewl CNC brackets from one of the members here, clip ons and various bits for them
Ive already fitted the clip ons, ZX6r throtle tube and later model kill switch( smaller, lighter faster ? Lol)
I decided to try some lever guards as well and they add that little bit of something to the front end.
I also wanted better looking rearsets and the Valter Moto ones are on the way. I wish i had a CNC.
