The new Street Fighter

[toastinator]

I had crashed my poor Fz6 july 7th this year, still healing. but doing well.

i had grown to really love the street fighter look but couldn't see doing it while my front fairing was still in great condition. nonetheless, the whole front end was completely bend and torn up.

Now that the decision is made, i ordered a mess ton of parts today!

Can't wait to see how this turns out.:thumbup:

Subscribed.

 

[toastinator]

Added 6 Pictures of the bike after the accident, and 2 Before

The First picture (After the accident) is to show what the frame slider Looks like (From the other side anyways)
The second picture shows how much it worn through, it bent the bolt and shaved the head down so getting it off will be a task

Wow, that is way gnarlier in pic form. Glad you are alright now.

I mailed the bars and side covers today. You should have them by fri-sat.

Can't wait to see how your bike turns out. . . then we have to get a ride going.

 

[toastinator]

The handle right below the rear seat on the left side was cracked completly off. it was a nasty hit. Thanks for the bars and sidecovers yamadamadoo!

 

[toastinator]

Turns out i ordered the wrong fender, if anyone has a spare with all hardware to install i would be willing to buy ASAP, if nothing turns up ill be forced to buy new.

 

[toastinator]

Update so far!

Recieved some parts!

-Crash/engine guards
-side covers
-handlebars as you can tell!


I also removed the headers, im getting them ceremic coated as soon as i can find a really nice place in MD, I just threw the headlight on there, its not actually wired up.

spending the rest of the weekend cleaning her up! mainly the swingarm so i can put my new yamaha decals on them

(Note: the plastic is still protecting the headlight )

Looks good! If you need any tips on taking anything apart PM me. One thing I had trouble with was the fuel sending unit in the bottom of the tank. The is a little plastic tab that stops it from coming out, you just bend it a tad with a screwdriver and it comes out.

 

[toastinator]

Just Finished the wiring harness for the New FZ16 headlight and it looks really good, as soon as my front fender comes in and my headers get coated, ill send more pics

 

[toastinator]

Cut down my rear hugger about 5 and a half inches. cleaned up the edges and of course i dont want to put it on until my Exhaust comes, and i get the last bolt for my rear tire!

 

[toastinator]

Top Sellerie seat came in today! it looks amazing! (ill post pics when the rear of the bike is together)


my rear taillight lense is in, aswell as my crankcase cover, and rear footpeg.

as for the Handle Below the seat. apparently thats on backorder. i wander when ill get that....


Sent the Exhaust headers + Catalyst out for ceramic coating! turn around time i was told was 2 weeks. ill update everyone once thats in

 

[yamadamadoo]

Hey now. Sounds like she's coming together. I love the headlight set up. We got cheated in the states but I guess that's what makes it more unique and appealing.

What kind of front tire is that ? Almost looks like a dual purpose tire.

 

[afpreppie04]

Looks good! You have most of what I'm planning so its good to see what my bike will look like soon One question, what mounted here?

It is under the fairing right now, maybe the stay mounted there? Do the FZ6s that came from Yamaha naked have a flat spot there too?

 

[Erci]

Yup, fairing brackets are mounted there. FZ6N has the same flat spots in the frame.

 

[F_red]

Fz6n of origin, they have also, is the same hole for the klaxon on the other side ... Moreover, the FZ6 S2 has the hole on the other side...

 

[afpreppie04]

Weird, I never noticed that spot before somehow. I wonder how hard it would be to get something to fit in there, maybe a reflector since there is no central hole to pass a wire for a turn signal through

 

[Kamloops]

I did not like that spot on the frame so bought these , plus allowed me to move the horn. They come in 3 colors.
