Hey!
I've recently bought my first big bike, a sc33 900 rr fireblade and immediately tore it apart to make it more aggressive and fighter looking.
I disassembled the bike completely, powder coated the frame and the rims, painted everything else bymyself and also adjusted the valve clearances.
I decided to go with the 2007 R6R tail section and to do the subcage myself. I had in mind that I will have a passenger riding with me. The tubing is 20x20 with 2mm wall thickness. The angle is not yet determined as I accidently ordered a R1 seat and not R6 so I have to wait for it to arrive before welding more.
What do you say? Should this thing be able to support me and a passenger? Anything else I should be aware of?
I planned that I will cut two slots on the upper surface of the lower tubes to sink the cross support in to the lower support tubes, resulting in tighter alignment and a better weld seam. What do you think?
