OK so I've been meaning to make a build thread for my plans to my 97 B6.
So far I've only changed the rear shock to a second hand old GSXR1100 shock (which I've found out is stuffed with no gas in it anyway), so the plan is to throw in a B12 one while I save up to get the gixxa one rebuilt.
I just had the gearing upped to 16-46 from the stock 15-47, as I commute on the freeway about 20km each way to work, this will work better and it's still got enough balls to take off quick enough
Apart from the shock conversion, my plans are to rip off the butt ugly front fairing and headlight, fit up a pair of dominator twin headlights, and one day down the track, a tail swap to an R1 or similar along with painting the tail plastics, tank and front guard all black while keeping the frame the original green.
If the opportunity presents itself to do a gixxa front end, I'd like to, but unless I come across one real cheap or I come into a lot of money, I don't see that happening real quick.
Anyway, here's a couple of snaps to let you know what I'm dealing with here...
Currently has round convex bar end mirrors, but i'll be looking at changing them soon anyway. I've also since changed the rear muffler to a Danmoto carbon shorty item, which sounds great, but I think it's only a matter of time before I get pulled over for it.
After the Gixxa shock install
Pretty and bling headlight brackets, and my kitty getting in on the action.
More updates to come soon once the dominator headlights are fitted and wired up, along with new mirrors with built in indicators.
Til then,
Cheers.
Liam.
