To
I think that it cleans the bike up and gives it a more modern look

Yeah, it fits. I forget what all is involved. Pretty sure I just need the shock. There's a couple guys on R6-forum/R6 Messagenet that have done it. Dunno if there's any real advantage to it.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Looks good for a bunch of random parts thrown together.
Should handle better with the extra weight of the high mount gone and everything low.
Dare I say so, but besides the old school swingarm, it looks kinda factory.
Hopefully you won't have any clearance issues.

The can rubs a little. Didn't get a chance to play too much since it had just rained and I was half squiding it up with sneakers on.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Here's a thread where they swapped an 04 R6 swingarm and 00 R1 forks. Saw another one where they swapped the whole front suspension from an 06.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Yeah, the fork swapping has been going on for years. I've seen 1000rr forks put on 600rr and rc51 and vfrs, I've seen a 06 R6 swingarm put on a 06or 07 gixxer 6 frame, with a 750 motor and R1 forks.
That thing was nuts, I'll see if I can find a pic for u guys tomorrow.
That dude on here with that r1, has a few ideas I may try if I score this 05 R1 in a few months.
With that side mount pipe, and 09 forks. Saw a 09 at the track the other day with a side mount exhaust. The sound was stoopid sexy
We'll see tho, the r1 I'm working to close on, has a full arrow corsa system. Not sure I wanna butcher it.

Re: Cycle whore thread
I'm good for now. Thanks though. Like I said, I'm not really trying to put a ton of work into it. Few things here and there are fine with me.
