test fitting

 

[visions]

stayed up pretty late last night giving everything a test fit. she is looking badass even if nothing is actually connected :thumbup:

It looks like the best looking streetfighter Fz6 i've ever seen.
Without headlight.
What type of headlight are you planning to put on?

Also - did you use the link on the swing arm??? If so anything you care to share there? Pictures etc?

Tks

Coming together very nicely. I'm jelly.

thanks for the kind words guys, this project has been a LONG time coming :thumbup: will post pics of the suspension/subframe details when i tear it all down again for final assembly, still have LOTS to do before then

--

working on some headlight brackets. will probably redo them to angle lower

yes, i know its crooked. just test fitting still

 

[visions]

im not sure on the headlight yet either. was thinking about switching it with the setup from my other bike

 

[ChanceCoats123]

I personally like the dual horizontal headlights better so that has my vote!

 

[visions]

tore it down again. all this just to unplug the ignition wires for relocation :/

im thinking about putting it here, not sure yet. space is really limited

 

[visions]

printed new brackets for the headlight. if these work out they'll be in my next batch of parts to make in carbon fiber, along with a piece for the ignition and a bunch of various mounting tabs under the seat for my power commander, relays etc

also i snapped some pics of the shock mount since some people were asking on both forums.
jtarkany in socal helped me (did all the hard work) a few years back

 

[visions]

flipped the brackets this morning before work. i think this is what im gonna go with, still haven't figured out exact placement just yet...

 

[visions]

stem drilled and tapped, for some extra piece of mind

hit the steering bumps with an angle grinder and then filed em down zen status.

next i'll remove the ignition mounting from the upper triple and paint em both black. gonna have a buddy machine me a nice centering spacer for this area

here is how she sits now, some days it doesn't even resemble a motorcycle

 

[visions]

upper triple modding

ready for paint tomorrow

hi you have done a great job so for bike look boss iv done this r1 fork mod myself just finishing it I used a shim on the bottom yoke and pressed it in to take up the slack wish I had drilled and bolted it like you now playing on my mind / found it to be quite tricky altering ignition barrel and steering lock /I have renthals fitted to my top yoke with same clamps as you but the spacing is wrong need to do something with that asap looking forward to more pics as I said great work so far mike.:thumbup:

AAAHHH, I'm so jealous. :<

I've had the swingarm, brake, suspension, and headers for this swap for over a year, I just don't have the tools to build the new subframe. I am le sad.

Everything looks amazing though, awesome job! :thumbup:

 

[visions]

triples all painted up & i plastidipped the ends of my levers

making good progress lately :cheer:

Hey, if you need more space under the seat, look at the S2 Coolant Reservoir and placing it under the the header in front of the block. It will free up some space. Just a thought....

So, if you can tolerate a little black behind the headers, that may be an option. item 38 and 44.

Subframe was built with only normal cheap garage tools... A Circular saw, angle grinder, budget drill press & patience. YOU CAN DO IT :cheer: :cheer:

You're a genius! If it comes down to it I'll toss the old res & mount I made in the trash... Gettin hard to put things under my non-existent seat :Flash:

 

[visions]

Not FZ news but I painted my R1 (but first with plastidip so I can remove all of it back to stock red)

 

[ChanceCoats123]

What a beautiful bike... Both of them look amazing.
