Discussion
hi lads,
it started off as a yfz 450, it had 2 engine rebuilds and the second time lasted 1000 miles, my mate was payin close to a grand to have it re-built each time so we thought f
k it!! lets put a r6 in there!!
the frame:
we picked the full bike up for £755 everything attached the front was smashed but engine was sound:
started to strip it:
wiring loom:
engine out:
cutting the expensive frame:
the hole:
she fits!!:
new bits of the frame welded, the welding was shoddy, we got another guy (phill) to weld it again later on:
brand new manifold off ebay.........20 squid winner!!:
tetsting:
testing the airfilter clearence, we scrapped tghese off as they were too big:
swing arm on:
this is the colour we was goin to do it, monster energy theme, but we spotted one and it looked gash, so its not bright green no more:
side shot:
bit off the pastics on:
pikey shed were building it in:
phil sorting the welding out, top bloke:
chain roller we made and welded on:
chain roller frame again:
the nerve bars gettin mocked up:
seat frame bolted on:

plate to hold the gear linkage on:
box to hold ecu and other bits:
plate to hold foot brake on:
plate to hold brake fluid bottle
the radiator tight sqeeze we used the 450 one but this is insufficent at coolin the r6 so we need the r6 rad and more chopping is in order:
one of the engine mounts:
some polishing of the engine bits (not fully done):

brackets welded on last night by phill:
r6 clock:
shiny bracket to hold the clock:
and a bracket to hold the clock onto the steering arm trees,:
thats all the welding done, now its goin for powdercoating soon, and we have all the new bearing and bushes to go into the swing arms, and a arms, then its building back toghether and a test run video will be up SOON!!
