I took the entire cowling off. There are a couple of screws in the back of cowling and a couple of tabs that slide into the cowling. Its really easy once you break into it.

Thats funny you say that because i never liked the shiny black plastic look. Really I dont like plastic at all but thought the matte finish was better. Its also funny that you want to paint them blue to match. Diversity is awesome.

That puig does look alot better than oem. I took my cowling off for the naked conversion currently taking place. Trying to get rid of all the plastic that I can. I promise to post a picture as soon as I can. Thanks for the correction on its name-I really didn't know what the hell to call it...

Im looking at magnesium or carbon fiber. Striving towards CF.

Well what ever the **** they are-That picture is correct. How about fascia? But thanks for the picture.

2 days after getting my 07, I painted the headlight covers. I thought it was just too much red and needed something to break it up. I painted those and the inside of my windshield satin black. Now the 08's have black headlight covers... Dicks.

Found some headers for as cheap as 20$ on craigslist. I am even willing to pay as much as 300 so this is going on the list now. The centerstand lasted about 2 days. I cant wait to get the subframe on with the new exhaust. After having a mock up done I asked some people what they said and alot...

I'm using 6061 Al(aircraft spec). Its expensive but am fortunate to know someone that gets it fairly cheap. The project is already pretty serious but am doing it modularly so I am able to ride while I build. It may be another year until the finishing touches are made but already its looking...

i have taken a magneto into consideration but never even thought about the bearings. I will definitely look into that. Thanks blu. And my apologies Vegas.

your a saint-thats exactly what im looking for. It really does blow my mind people could confuse customizing and upgrading. Down the road i plan on having a custom swing arm to finish off that rear end. I think that would be tits. This is the help i was looking for -:rockon:

i agree with it looking odd. but hopefully my new sub frame solves that problem. It really opens up that back tire and the undertail wouldn't work. The only spot left for the exhaust is low and off to the side just like the r6. I have a guy thats good at re-jetting so i dont believe that would...

thank you boneman. How about this question-Has anyone used anything but an fz6 exhaust on an fz6.

nice-good numbers chaos

who said anything about agreeing with me. That has nothing to do with it. And poking fun is great- if thats what they are doing-but its hard to hear sarcasm through text. I was really referring to vegas as an *******-not hellgate. All i am saying is dont suggest getting a different bike to solve...

Come hellgate-be civil with me as I vent and rant. sleds are a whole seperate game in it self. Sleds are very very easy to mod compared to a bike like the fz6. This is my first big bike mod process so I am trying to learn as much as possible in a short time. Besides-even the most experienced...

Thanks OSO2K-your helping. Alot of people do help. But what kind of advice is putting a fz6 in a R6. What the hell would that solve. Sounds like alot of people take the easy way out instead of re-engineering. Not trying to be a dick Hellgate but it is really flustering when you ask a simple...

well things like rear pegs will be left off new sub-frame. The cowlings and bull **** hardware are gone as well. Average r6 exhaust is considerably lighter. I have also milled as much as I can off the frame. Magnesium rims help alot. Anything that doesn't need to be there or doesn't need to be...

Thanks to all others with good advice.

Some of you assholes shouldnt even be on here. I see alot of people ask questions about customizing bikes and the best thing you can say is "wouldnt it be easier to get an r6". I didint get an r6 for several reasons-i dont need power above 120, dont like fairing bikes, dont have the extra $2k...

really i want a shorty megaphone exhaust. I was thinking i could weld the mounting tabs in conjunction with the stock mounting points. Any hints?
