LAMS in Wolfs Clothing - Synistah's XJ6 Fighter Build

[Synistah]

Hey guys,

So I have recently taken the interest and initiative to Street Fighter my bike which is a 2010 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion. I got the idea from my friends Hyosung GT650.. which is a complete monster and just gives off a kickass vibe.
I have been posting around the past few days seeking general advice and opinions for the build, and have received some amazing support and feedback from multiple members. I would like to give a HUGE thank you and shout out to: CruiseControl

So with this build i have assigned multiple stages and a budget for each set stage. As each stage progresses i will post build and technical updates as well as pictures, dilemmas and success.

Aspects of the build may change over time, but the general concept will remain the same. A streetable, practical yet aggressive and head turning 'Street Fighter' styled motorcycle to be used on a daily basis.

Any work is planned to be carried out by myself and several friends, However should anything be out of reach for our current skill sets all required work will be carried out by Mark Tudor of Mark Tudor Motorcycles based in Seven Hills, Sydney.
Going to have all machining and extreme custom work done by Extreme Creations based in Sydney.

Look forward to receiving feedback, hearing opinions and even suggestions as to the direction and progress of the build.

Thanks

Nice starting point, mate. I was mentally picturing the 90's Diversion but the new ones look pretty sharp!
Chop that chunk of snot off the tail and as you said, a set of USDs and new headlight and it will come up a treat.
Cheers for the kudos. I'm more used to insults than praise!

[wackyrider]

That is a nice looking base bike. Looking forward to this build

[Synistah]

Yeah, for a LAMS bike they look absolutely beautiful and i think would make a really nice fighter, It's all super clean and well made by Yamaha. Very nice platform to work on.

Technically called the FZ6R over here, but been on so many US forums i'm used to describing it as the XJ6.

Very nice starting piece!

Have a look at the Venhill lines from Mono(support someone that supports the forums) instead of the Spiegler's :)

Will check them out, Anything to support a fellow member and the forum. Also cheaper than Spieglers.. DOUBLE WIN!

Thanks Tim!

Hats of to your format mate !

Precise , to the point and legable !

They look soooo wrong with huge undertail support .

But looking forward to ur progress.

[Synistah]

Yeah, That huge undertail is ridiculous.. Thankfully it's already gone and replaced with a fabricated tail tidy.

Appreciate the feedback on the format, I tried to keep it clear and concise.

First order of business will be to take the stock triples and R6 triples to Ben at Extreme Creations so he can machine everything up.

Your bike is currently my ciggie pack and lighter holder in my garage. Does a good job.
