Hey guys, I was finally able to find a bike that I can build into a streetfighter. I just picked up a 96 yzf600r for $750 and it rides great. However, It needs alot of cosmetic work and a few essential parts. So i have a few questions and any help or suggestions would be great.
I eventually want to turn this into a major project and am willing to dump some cash into it. However, i just started school and just need to get it street legal for now as cheap as possible.
1) Headlight - I dont have one and have to figure something out, I have been looking at the Acerbis lights but have seen some bad reviews on their brightness. any suggestions for a cheap good headlight.
2) i need mirrors but am having a tough time finding some that wont look like their stuck way too far out
3) I need gauges. i dont have to have a tach, but wouldn't mind one if cheap enough. However, I do need a speedo for sure and need to find the cheapest possible speedometer setup available for now.
4) The first major upgrade I am going to do is a tail swap from one of the newer r6's, anyone seen a thread about this swap? Or any other suggestions as far as future mods. I am going to get it all powdercoated black black and paint the tank and tail gloss black with a subtle dark grey tribal pattern.
Thanks
