Teaser of the "Teaser: Winter Project"

[skooter65]

Too many teaser's???

Well...after many months of fitting, cutting, machining, purchasing, testing, errors, etc...the winter project is complete (For this stage in it's life anyway).

Here are a few photos taken after a short 10 mile stint to make sure everything is working properly. Many more pictures to follow once I have a few hundred miles under my belt and am able to detail it for worthy photos.

Quick list of what was done:

-Installed 2009 Kawasaki ZX6R BPF Forks (w/ Upper & Lower Triple)
-2009 ZX6R Front and Rear Wheels
-2009 ZX6R Front and Rear Braked (Radial Mounted Nissin Fronts..puurdy)
-Pirrelli Angels Front and Rear
-520 Chain and Sprocket (16T FZ6 Front with 46T ZX6R Vortex rear)
-2009 ZX6R Carbon Fiber Front Fender
-Corbin Seat (To replace the one I sold off last fall)
-Digital Guard Dawg Keyless Ignition
-Electronic Secure Keyless Seat Latch

Much more, but those are the key points from the mod's this winter!

Nice, If you dont mind what did all that set you back? I love the bike wheel and brakes look great.

The USD forks are sweet.

I don't mind at all: If you pull out the items that were not necessary for the fork swap (Corbin Seat, Keyless ignition, Tires, etc...), It cost about $1,500 USD Gross. Almost half of that was the ZX6 fork set-up, which if had had waited a bit, could have been bought for a few hundred dollars less. The good part, after selling off the stock parts, I am only $425 in the negative for the fork swap itself. Again, this does not include the $1,000+ for the seat, tires, and ignition.

I can't wait to get some more miles in so I can report on the changes in handling.

I thought you had an FZ1 tail on there, or was I hallucinating? Looks great as it is, if you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have noticed the wheel swap. When anyone says Kawasaki I picture bright green in my mind.

No Hallucinating!! The FZ1 Tail idea was dropped at the same time that I abandoned the Jardine Exhaust (I think someone on here actually installed that )
