My R6 Reborn
#1
Well she started out like this:

Then thanks to my crash she looked like this:

I decided since I had the original bodywork handy I'd go ahead and have my poor Yammy not be confused anymore whether it was a Yamaha or a Suzuki thanks to the Rizla Scheme.

The Progress:
Recharging the battery after it sat without cranking for 2 months

Stripped off the broken upper, mids, and lower

Removal of gas tank and replacement of original tail section

Gas tank replaced, tail installed, and rear cowl on

The End Result:

I ordered the windscreen, left side mirror, and a few misc nuts and bolts this morning, but for all intensive purposes she's done.

Next:
Steal Andrew's hole saw and cut the mids for my frame sliders.

nice work matt, i'm assuming you did this because you're better, but for some reason its more comical for me to imagine you doing all this with just your left arm

Stripped off the original body work using just the left arm, once the right arm was healed (well mostly) I started in on the rest of it.

The other plastics were race plastics, Cheetah Race Plastics in fact. I'm buying a new upper for that eventually. Then gonna repaint the whole thing probably.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Sheeeeyat you think I'm bringing the kid by the house. Heck no him and I are making a day of it, lunch at Hooters, afternoon viewing of TMNT, and then who knows, maybe ice cream. I'm sure if I like the sound of the afternoon a 6 yr old will enjoy it.

Laguna Seca Blue to be exact on the color. Have to find someone that can do that paint for me. I want it to match the rest of the tail, Yamaha Blue that goes to Championship White.
