So after MUCH messing around with this bike, as you may have seen from numerous threads, its coming together, just needs an MOT
I have done the following:
R6 Shock Mod
Hyperpro Front Fork Springs and SAE 15 Oil
Braided Lines front and back - HEL
New Exhaust End Can...
Painted the downpipes ( and snapped and engine stud
), also painted lots of other bits, including the nasty looking oil and coolant pipes on the front of the engine..
Replaced the Caliper Mount bolts for some new Titanium ones, mainly as the heads on mine were stripped
Upgraded the rear caliper
Serviced head stock i.e. bearings etc
Changed Sprocket nut for new thicker one...
Cleaned 90% of it up with degreaser, was filthy
None of it would have been possible without the input of all on here so thanks to all that chipped in, and those that tortured me when i screwed things up
, in a nice way...
One thing i wanted to ask for those that have also done the R6 shock mod, with the help of Kebab19, what dog bones did you use, the ones supplied sure are sturdy and shiney, i would like a pair that are the same profile as the OEM ones but the right new length...so am thinking of just taking the old ones down to a fabricators and getting some made the right length..
Only other thing i may look at is, the dent on the tank you can see, i never knew what they was from, was like that when i got it, but some recent posts where someone had dropped there fazer, or it blew over in the wind had EXACTLY the same marks, so i may look at getting that sorted out, or using a tank cover, however not sure if they will affect the way i grip the tank with my legs, i do tend to hold it for dear life else my arms are cramped up within minutes
A set of ski's and she is ready for winter!
