Has anyone ever chopped and rewelded the subframe. Without the underseat exhaust it seems like the thicknedd of the subframe could be slimmed down and actually strengthened. Any thoughts?

Hey, we're practically neighbors. I'm between Hendersonville and Gallatin and work in Brentwood. I'm on the Nashville Area Motorcycle Riders page as well, but havent been in a habit of checking it since I havent had a bike fort a while. Looks like there's a bike night tonight in Madison, you...

seansi Yes the bike has the hi/low headlight mod. It uses an h4 bulb and only one filament is lit at a time. The spedo bracket it a single piece of aluminum bar stock bent to lower the gauge down close to the headlight. 3M tape and one of the existign mountign screws holds it in place...

For me here in TN the law is a little different. 55-9-202. Mufflers -- Muffler cutouts prohibited -- Penalty. (a) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on any road, street or highway unless the motor vehicle is equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to...

No worries on the carbon monoxide issue. The exhaust vents cleanly to the rear of the bike. You can feel the flow of exhaust when standing behind the bike. Its only a foot or so closer to the rider than the under belly exhaust on my previous bike. There isnt even enough exhaust trapped under...

Not sure about NC. I set my up to be compliant with TN law, which only requires that a bike have a muffler, no decible requirements.

Hey, new guy here, but I found the ebay parts route to be the cheapest naked conversion option. I picked up some fork brackets and a round headlight for $40 total. The previous owner had already done the high/low beam mod for the H4 bulb so it plugged straight in. The gauge bracket...

I posted this in the streetfighter section but it could apply to others who don't want to run their bikes naked. I removed the undertail muffler and pipe and replaced the mid pipe cat with a 9" automotive glasspack. The result is a lighter weight exhaust system that is more centrally...

Here's a quick video of the $40 exhaust mod. https://youtu.be/O3lCt7yeqY4

No, its not a CB headlight. Its another random ebay find. This has been a low budget build so far. The headlight housing cost $25 shipped here's the one I bought For Yamaha YBR125 YBR 125 2002 2013 Round 7" Housing Motorcycle Headlight | eBay FYI Here's the bar I used for $25 shipped Black...

The bars are random no name ebay drag bars, and no they do not hit the tank. At full turn the plastic pods come within about 2mm of the surface.

Okay, here's a couple more pics where you can see the exhaust changes. They aren't exactly current, but close enough. The midpipe exhaust is a Jones Exhaust 9" glasspack with the OEM tailpipe to midpipe clamp welded on the inlet and a 45deg bend welded on the outlet. I now have a short...

So, I stubled across a craigsligt add I couldn't turn down. I picked up a lightly crashed 04 FZ6 for $1200. It had no headlights, the fairings were toast, the front tire wouldnt hold air, the handlebars were bent, the front wheel was tracking way left, and the tank was dented. Beyond that it...
