Decided to crack on with this project now.
Had my R6 Since April this year, first bike on the road at 20, been loving it
Since buying it I've done a full service, plugs, oil, filters, chain, sprockets, 2 new tyres, EBC brake pads, new battery and a few carbon fibre bits.
Been running sweet since. But with the cold weather drawing in, Tax and MOT expiring, I thought it was a good time to get it off the road and do some bits!
Planning on forks and rear shock being rebuilt, respray the frame black, new oil and filter again, coolant change, loads of new bolts/screws/fittings full respray, wheel colour change, more carbon fibre bits.
Anyways, how it used to look. Had a custom respray a few years back, used to be red/white.
So today I began to strip it down. All plastics off, tank off and drained. Need to get a front paddock stand so the wheels can come off, and then the rest of the stuff can come off.
Bit of a learning curve for me, but considering the UK has a long winter I've got plenty of time! Think I'll need to invest in a heater for the garage though.
Anyways, a couple of stripped pics.
Any opinions on colours would be cool, was thinking white with white wheels, but open to ideas.
Hopefully I'll keep this updated as a bit of a project thread.
Enjoy!
