Hi....

Im currently in the process of rebuilding my zx6r g2 after it being stolen and trashed.

I was thinking of street fighting the bike as the front fair is trashed.

I have bought so far:

*Front headlight
*Indicator
*Top yoke
*Ignition barrell




I was wondering,

1: how would I mount my clock?? What would I need?

2: What do I need to mount eventual Handel bars also?



I want it to look similar to the bike in the link below.

Thanks guys!

It's a sportsbike, all be it a less focused one than anything really modern. (sports tourer if your a track freak/tech head).

It'll look shit as a fighter, nearly all beam framed sports bikes do. It'll need lower gearing without the fairing, as you won't reach 165mph without one or pull the high gears well at over a ton.

The wiring will look messy, pipework the same, and Kawasaki always hides nasty brackets and rough looking components under the fairings. You'll lose and fuck up the ram air, which will make it run like shit, and knock 10bhp off the top end if your lucky.

A Harris magnum or Spondon or slingshot GSXR looks good as a fighter, a lashed up crashed 6R will have less cool than a Fazer 600 with renthals, which is probably a better bike anyway.

If you want to get bike back on the road with no fairing, just make it safe and spend as little on bodging it together as you can, as if you try hard in the name of Streetfigher it'll look full of fail IMO!

Only lower fairings buggered or headlamp one too? You could trash the lowers and only need minor tinkering to secure the upper fairing.

It'll probably work out cheaper buying some Chinese fairings than attempting to make it look tidy without them.

What have you bought in the way of a headlight - fixing it could be tricky.

Echo: it'll take a lot of jiggery pokery setting her up to run smoothly without the Ram Air pipework, even if you kept it and bodged a support it looks a right mess when not hidden by a fairing.
