well got a bity of free time today some managed to get a mock up of the under tray and side panel

under tray

https://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o743/pitbiker1987/166775_10151492373873363_1244571962_n1_zps199da772.jpg

side panel

using this headlight i will be able to use all orginal clocks, also goes with the green/black colour sceme.


made the mock up out of hard board but will be making the final parts out of perpex as will be able to shape them with heat. After a bit of research the seat unit is from a 2009/2010 ninja.

Yes, replace the hideous headlights with even more hideous headlights But I guess it does serve a purpose. I'd just be sticking a big round headlight on it.

[suzukirider19...]

sort of a update. blown my grinder up so waiting for my new one to turn up so i can make a stand to drop the shock/linkage.

on to the panels been on paint to see what some panel shapes will look nice. also not gonna get any fairings just gonna get and fit a belly pan heres a rough pic of what the replacment panel is gonna look like ( forgot the green will be gloss black )

can't believe you are spraypainting your wall! couldn't you have covered it.

Cool little project. Quite often see F series ZX6Rs coming up cheap as projects and might be tempted when I've sorted out my garage and can finally bash out my current projects.

If you want your rear shock to stay like that I would really recommend buying a rear hugger. Unless you plan on only riding it on dry sunny days (like those exist...).

I will also join the club of hating that new headlight you're buying. I would much rather get a single round, or square light. But each to his own. I love the rest of the work you've done...looks very slick.

firstly its a outbuilding and it doesn't bother me lol, secondly got my eye on a carbon hugger on ebay and thirdly no longer using that headlight got another that im gonna use

bit of imagination needed but will be gloss black, tinted headlight lense (green) and will be putting some leds to use as daytime running lights.

Bleurgh.

But at least it serves the purpose of being able to use the original clocks.

another update, under tray made out of 5mm perspect took a while but managed to shape it, headlight fitted on custom brackets, clocks mounted, also had some material left so decide to make a belly pan.

https://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o743/pitbiker1987/482182_10151502260613363_98043556_n1_zps053e0325.jpg

think i will move the headlight down about 3/4" and make a mini screen.

next on the list is a bar conversion and to make them side panels

Christ this bike is ugly, I love the tail but then the fat front end and dodgy headlight unit isn't very nice, have you not thought about modding some fairing to match the tail unit?
