Hey guys! So I am newish to the forum. I posted a while back regarding my previous bike I was building. It was a 2013 CBR250r cafe racer / streetfighter build. Unfortunately, two days after I finished the bike I was involved in a rear end collision which put me out of riding from April until Mid September.
But! I recovered from several spinal fractures and I am back in the riding game. This time with a new bike! Let's just say my Fiance hated that I got a new machine only 8 days after my accident while I was still in a neck and back brace and immobilized to the bed.
Preface:
My new bike is a 2006 GSX-R600. It has 10k miles on it and it was almost completely stock except for the license plate mount.
The Bike as I got it:
I started to take the bike apart as I went as I hate the sight of a stock bike. Especially a stock Gsxr. After 5 months of having it sit and the occasional ride if my back felt well enough, it ended up in this mock up frankenbike:
I started to remove the last of the plastics and made a plan as it nears the beginning of a long Wisconsin winter.
So long story short:
I currently want to get these tasks done over the next winter months (and I shall update them as I go:
-MX Bar conversion
-RFID/Keyless ignition (Or ignition relocation)
-New sprocket and chain kit setup
-Custom Shortened seat
-New paint job
-Custom subframe mockup
-Custom Dual Exhaust mufflers (One on each side *Z1000 Setup)
-Rectifier relocation bracket
I am still in the designing faze curently and therefore am just brainstorming before I do more custom fabrication.
I am looking for ideas! Anything would be considered and feedback as the build goes on is awesome!
Some pics of the bike now are attached at the bottom.
