Everything looks good except the exhaust. Not a big fan of the Two Brothers Exhaust Can look. I doesn't match our bike in any way, shape or form. But if you like it, thats all that matters.

So TreyE you're going back to the stock swingarm eventually?

Overall I think it's alright. Wish there were some pics from outside, but I can kinda tell that it was raining outside at the moment. I think solid black wheels with green rim tape would've been a bit better- the silver wheels aren't to my personal liking. I have to admit, the can does look like it was the closest thing to the mechanic at the time. Go ahead & relocate that rear brake reservoir- but I think overall its just fine..

You think about changing the gearing? If I were to have a stretched 6 I'd definitely want some good acceleration..

did you buy that bike used from someone?

no, it comes like that from the factory.

Yea I was thinking about it but I can spin the back wheel without gearing right now, just did the jumper mod tonight and I can tell the difference. But yea I agree on the wheels but Im not mechanically inclined when it comes to bikes so I wouldnt feel comfortable taking the wheels off and painting them. I thought about -1 +2 but I really dont have the money right now, plus I commute on this bike so the added gas mileage is a plus.

did you buy that bike used from someone?

Yes I havent changed anything so far except jumper mod.

no, it comes like that from the factory.

Exactly.

i can't believe i am the only one noticing this but.... those seats being a different color is bugging the hell outta me. I would recover them black if it was mine. And the can.... i think it would look better with just a GP pipe (loud as hell though). The Two Bros just doesn't seem right. Last, i think if you do the rear brake resv. relocate it would clean up the tail a lot if you plan on keeping the swing arm extension.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters.

 

[Ryco6R]

yeah i dont think it matters how you angle that TB can, it's just not gonna look right positioned there on that bike. too bulky and awkward shaped. look for something more streamlined.

I noticed the seat color as well...but I was pretty thrown off by the placement of that exhaust. Get some stock seats and call it a day right?

I like the stretch but if you are waiting to remove it after you get used to the bike, I think you are going to find it's a whole different monster without it.

 

[DRUNKinMUNKY]

Yeah you could prolly just swap your extended swing arm for a factory one to someone who wants to stretch theres. You might also think about getting a single sided swing arm......those look sick if your into changing the whole look. And plus one on the seats. The can soesn't bother me to bad but I would sell it to someone else and get a replacement. Just my thoughts.

 

[jamesbernatchez]

nice. the only thing i dont like too much is the angle or the way the exhuast comes out.

+1 and I also don't like the non matching green seats. Would be much better black IMO.

 

[TGM6]

I like what you've done to the bike. Great way to be unique. My only problem is that I am not a fan of the green seats (they just look off) and your exhaust just looks a little bit out of place (the angle is weird).

What other plans do you have for your bike? I really like where you are going with it...

He has swingarm extensions so he can just take them off but he would also need to cut down his chain. It looks like he has an aftermarket sprocket as well so he needs to take that into consideration if he decides to go back to stock (might be too much gearing).

Single-sided swing would be dope but those are serious cash...

Yea as stated earlier I def wanna change them to black, just have to find the right material and I can do that myself. Also yea I want to get another can I just have to come together with some money, Im having a hard time finding a job in Tampa. I have applied to over 20 places to no avail

Or reupholster.

It has Halo Eyes and LEDs going around the border of the Ram Air so I have to find those wires and hook them up again, after that it should look bitchin with all the lights.

Yea Im really not sure if it is geared or not, the stock teeth on the rear is what? 46 teeth? And the single-sided swingarm would be pretty damn costly, seeing as Im a college student that prob wont be happenin on my budget.

what do you recommend i use to clean up this vomit from my carpet?

If the sprocket doesn't look like a stock piece then it's most likely geared. I highly doubt that anyone that put swingarm extensions on a 600 would leave the stock gearing. Stock gearing is 16T in the front and 43T in the rear.

Times are rough trying to find employment. If you were out here in CA i'd hook you up...I'm the HR guy @ my job

It seems like its stock but the only reason I dont think the rear is changed is because my friend has -1 +2 on his R6 and his rear sprocket looks a lot bigger compared to mine. Maybe just changed the front sprocket? Idk it goes like no other so maybe it is geared

 

[TreyE]

So how about my bike started leaking oil from that gasket everyone has troubles with on the 07's. Its in the shop now getting fixed along with a lot of little things the dealer overlooked.

 

[Shakinlaw]

As you can tell- if you post a bike on KF, you'd better have a thick skin & be well ready for all types of criticism!!

I think black seats w/ a green threaded "NINJA" would be a nice touch. The bike definitely has some Great things about it, it jus seems that the initial owner may have taken some components in a direction that a lot of us would have done differently. But hey, customization is rarely based on other peoples opinions.
