Well getting really excited now as i pick the bike up tomorrow cant wait to ride it,, will put pictures up tomorrow night..
 
Hey i just got released from hospital today,, i wont be uploading photos of the project as i took it out as soon as i picked it up.. The handling and power was phenomenal it just blew me away literally.. well long story short i wrote it off,, it was money well spent though,, even though i only rode it that once.. now to move onto my next project a maloo r8..
 
Hope you're alright mate - how did it happen? And what was the total build cost, bike and all? Will you be getting back on a bike, and how is your recovery going?

Well as everyone knows the FZ6 is a little underpowered, not nearly enough bike for the mad riding skills that we FZ6 riders have so...

I got in touch with PiratePete and asked hime to ship me the turbocharger now that he no longer needs it (Thanks PP :thumbup:). It arrived today and I had it installed in about 2 hours, minus the time it took me to find the bailing wire and silly putty needed for mounting.

I figured I should probably post up a picture of it before I took her for spin, after all, it may get away from me then I wouldn't be able to share this awesome machine with you.

Two drawbacks, I did have to put the fairing back on to avoid facial distortion and my A$$ gets kind of hot when I rev it. Oh well, here she is:

*DISCLAIMER: This is a joke, this is only a joke, please do not take offense, or try to strap a jet engine to your FZ6 with bailing wire and silly putty :D

found this from another thread he posted on...

so, let say you really did supercharger your bike...or that you even have a bike. you already have laid it down two time and then you decide it's time to make it go faster cause you obviously can handle what the Fz puts out now...and you crash!

Once again, assuming this is true. You have put your bike down 3 times.:confused: Maybe you shouldn't be riding. IMO
