Hi guys,
Below my new build, a kawasaki Er6 which i bought as a written off accident bike.
Front end was completely fucked up.. but imo minor damage so let's take it !
Fixed a new front end, a 2012 duke690 fork, rim, brakes etc.
Pushing out the ballhead (?) pen, this one needs to go into the KTM yoke.
The er6's is quite wide, actually u can slide it over the original from the KTM..
so we have to make something up, specialist work that is.
The rad and exhaust where pretty scratched up as well..
So i had to replace the rad and i welded the exhaust.
putting fork in :
Ready for ridin''
in the meantime i found some sort of restriction on the gas cable ( dafuq ? )
This bike had a milage of 40.000 km's ( 25.000 miles ) and i could only give like 25% throttle.. omf... ( the small gold looking screw was it )
Ordered the crash cage out of France, as they are the only ones making stuff for a er6
The original springs of a er6 are made for small ladies, not for a 95kg weighing bloke like me.. so we had to change this as well, Hyperpro in Holland fixed me up with this + a steering damper
Electrical work, hiding cables and shi..
Done
Next up : the exhaust, it's short and sits right under the engine.. didnt want to mod the rad so i wrapped it.
Making a bracket for the steering end + my steering damper !
Got some Alu squares to act like risers to lower the front end just a bit more, as the ktm duke fork is quite long.
After a heavy cursing round having broken off my brakepump.. installed a new one
Bike so far, ashame of the cage though.. but eh.. not visible on the site at first glance.
Ordered some sprockets, 14 in front, 50 in the back.. not to light.
Rsc came in from Josh
Aaaaaand yesterday i re-located the ''fan'' switch ( turning/alarm signals ) and the light switch... a solution for now, as i think i'm just gonne make 2 simple switches and hide them somewhere.
And that is that... just received my license plate for this bike.. so i know i don't have to put it up for technical inspection ( u never know here in belgium )
next up will be chopping the ass, weld a round bar on it and a subcage/steps
