Wanted this one but the price tells you why I didn't get it

And this its how she currently sits

Not permanent, only up for mock up of brackets and sheet metal to hide the intake and back of the headlight

I will continue to take pictures and update when I get a chance. If you need parts, look up my for sale thread!

A little fit up

Moved the ignition

Not bad for a dirty bike headlight

 

Good work! Check out my build, I chopped off the front of the frame to get my headlight back closer to the forks.

 

How far back did you go?

Gah that was a nice 6r, But looking good so far!

 

As far as I could without trimming the center of the V shape. Here's the best pic I have:

I ran the wires through the ram air duct in the frame.

 

I was thinking of doing that and routing through a hole in the front of the air box

You would have to fight ****** and racinjason for first in line troll

I like the direction of this build, looks hooliganistic and...



...I dunno what you are talking about...

 

Holy crap, you were really serious when you told me you wanted to do a fighter build. Nice work so far. I too was going to suggest what Tyler said and chop off the intake on the frame, but if you can get everything mounted up without issues then I wouldn't bother.

Are you going to run around with clip-ons or are you going to go with dirt bars? The dirt bars really set off the look of a fighter, plus they make the bike way more comfortable. They even give you more leverage with countersteering, which results in a very flick-able bike.

Gonna subscribe now. I assume your build is on customfighters too. Yes?

 

Jason jk man lol, larry yes its up on cf I want dirty bars but will have to wait until I can fund it. Gonna go with a flat or semi flat bar probably

if your low on funds, just flip your clip ons, it looks alright (not as nice a dirt bars) but you can still use all of your OEM lines/wires

 

I was going to suggest this and forgot.

Before I went to my dirt bars I lowered the front of my bike and mounted CBR 1000RR clip-ons on top of the top triple clamp. The CBR clip-ons sit like an inch or so higher than the 6R clip-ons. It resulted in near dirt bike bar feeling, BUT I was also able to use all my lines and cables. Switching to the dirt bars I had to buy extended cables and front brake lines, but I was able to also put the bike back up to the correct ride height. It still felt fine with the front lower, but I really wanted the dirt bars.

Motion Pro can make you replacement lines to any length you specify. They're about $35-$40 per line plus shipping, which is like $12. Mine took a week and a half to arrive after ordered (a week to make, then a few days shipping from California).

Ebay has brake lines from a bunch of different sellers that can be made to order as well.

Just FYI in case you decide you're tired of leaning over. I absolutely love my dirt bars even though the whole setup cost me around $400 or so to do. The amount of miles I ride this thing justifies the cost to make it more comfortable, and of course to make it look sweet. :thumbup: I could have saved money by going with an 03/04 top triple and drilling it for bar risers, but in that case you have to add JB weld or make a bracket to ensure the top tree is beefy enough to handle the stress you put on it with the handlebars. The HoHey top tree is one thick chunk of aluminum, and it's pre-drilled for risers and can easily be swapped back and forth to clip-ons if so desired. It's recessed where the forks come in so that the clip-ons can be installed on top of the tree rather than under.

 

It's cool, Sean.

I did get to see the early stages of progress on this build before the most of KF. For some reason though I thought you had an 09.

 

The general consensus at work is that my car is going to get totaled out so I need to work my ass off to get this bitch rideable until I get a new cage

I would NOT cut the trim the frame if I were you. It's not worth it to mount the headlight further back. There's no going back from that, or selling the frame should you want to later.

 

Yea it would really be a last resort

Ok so I have been kind rushed to get this thing road ready because of the accident, headlight I'd painted and mounted even though the leaping came our like total dog shit. I'm still trying to mount the gauges and I'm not to happy with it.

The trunk is all messed up, floor is up about 6 inches, sub frame is mangled and quarter panels are both messed up. I think they are going to total it.

I'm running my original cables and brake lines with dirt bike bars.

 

I did too (except for brake lines, they weren't even close), but the throttle cables were too tight, and I could feel the resistance in the steering from it. If I turned all the way right, the bike would rev unless I kept a strong grip of the throttle. I didn't want to chance one of the cables failing sometime down the road. The clutch cable was a bit too short also, but not as bad as the throttle cables.

Now this will depend on the bars used, and since there are a ton of options out there, it's hard to tell if you'll need extended lines or not. Relocating the ignition helped out A LOT with the stock cables, but they were still too tight for my liking. I could have re-routed the throttle cables between the tank and frame, but it looked goofy and ran right in front of my gauge cluster.

 

There is plenty of extra cable to run dirty bars im sure. But I would have to change everything up front, I plan to do it anyway just not ready for it yet. plus I don't want a key hole

Looks can be deceiving. You may have enough slack if you choose some low bars. I didn't think my bars were too high, but it turns out they were too high to work with my brake lines and such.

I like my relocated ignition. Makes for a much cleaner setup for the gauges and whatnot.

 

Yes I put mine close to where yours is. The brake line may be short but I want to get the stainless kit anyway. Clutch is so long I had to route it under the frame slider and zip tie it so it wasnt swinging in the breeze and throttle will be close. I kinda want to run flat bars so it won't be as high as yours are.

Well it's your ride, so do as you please. I actually would like higher bars, but then I think it would look kind of weird. It's much more comfy than it used to be for sure. I sit pretty much upright like you would on a 650. I just need to redo my seat. That thing is like sitting on a 2X6. I'm running the same seat as you, so you can relate.

If I were you I'd flip and swap the clip-ons. It gives the bike a more aggressive look without costing a penny. Should be a little more comfortable too.

 

Low sidded the bitch

brake pedal is a little bent, slider got chewed up and bar end is scratched but being replaced by bar end mirrors anyway

Don't do that anymore. :wink:

Glad you're ok.

 

did you put the harness between the air box and frame? got any pics of what you acually did with the ecu and the other boxes?

 

I drilled 1 1/4in (i think) holes in the front portion of the sure box and ran the wires through them. The ecu is in the tail so I didn't have to go anywhere near that, the fuse box is under the tank and the other unit (i believe it is the ignition module but not sure) is just under the piece of rubber that is under the tank, snug up against the transmission. Don't have any pics of it but if you work the harness just right there is quite a bit of room under there.

Lowered the gauges so they sit below the front plate and flipped/swapped the clip ons this weekend

Also received the race tail but it fit like shit and actually cracked when I tried to install it so I will be trying to get my money back.
