Very nice, How difficult would you say it is?

I know i have suggested this to a few people and wasn't even sure how possible it was and to what difficulty.

looks sweet

Excellent job and a great post.:rockon:

 

[Wavex]

Thanks guys... difficulty was "medium", even if you have very limited mechanical and electrical background. And you can ask if you run into a problem

Still missing the mini fairing for the headlight on this pic... will be back from paint on Wednesday :rockon:

nice Vids Wavex!!!:thumbup:

Impressive, looks very sinister, nice work.

 

[penguinbiker8]

can you do that to an 07? like with the speedo and all?

 

[Wavex]

Doing it on an '07 would be pretty much the same thing, except you`d have to figure out a way to mount the speedo somewhere (since it's diff). It should really not be that difficult anyway.

Looks good! Is that the GSX-R headlight on the front?

Powdering coating the upper tripple and maybe ever the inner fork tube is a must...but then you would have to do the exhaust as well. Just make it all black...

:thumbup: I like your thinking :rockon:

Yes, it's the K4 gixxer headlight... bought it from a custom shop in France with a custom mini fairing (at paint right now... should be done tomorrow).

that is a nice looking headlight, I like it a lot better off the GSX-R, it looks really nice with the mini fairing.

 

[Wavex]

Thanks bro! People at the paint shop were saying it looks like a mask or something :Sport:

Well done on doing both the conversion and the videos.

How many hours did it take you to do the conversion all up?

Can I see blue preload adjusters on the forks there? Tell me about them.

 

[Wavex]

Heya CamKawa, thank you.

The conversion can be done in one full day... say from 10:00am through 8:00pm with a couple hours of break time for beer
If you are fast and you have everything you need handy, you can probably make it happen in 6hours... what takes a long time (for me) is the wiring, and the details, i.e. fab of the brackets, cleaning the front end, adjusting the headlight...etc.

I had to do it in 2 days this time because we have a baby at home hehe

You are right about the fork adjusters, I have the R6 forks...

 

[Wavex]

The mini fairing is still not painted...

So I finished up a few things I had on the list: cleaned the lasers and removed the rear hugger today... and painted the beat-up custom headlight brackets as well (flat black... still looks bad but whatever).

I did not wash the bike though...
