Get
one of these, or you won't be getting too far. There's a
lot of cutting and grinding to do so you need something more
heavy duty than your Dremel. You can use the Dremel on the
smaller things, like the bottom of the R6 seat, the under
fender, and the tail plastic. |
All
this stuff needs to be out of the way. You can see I've already
cut off the luggage rails. |
Get
rid of the coolant bottle and drain the hose a bit, or stick
something in the end of it. |
Remove
the stock under fender. |
Take
all the electronics off the side, and let the harness hang
out of the way. |

This
crack was from one of the previous owners... they dumped
it over onto the pipe, and it twisted the damn frame. |
Here's
the new tail! Along with the under fender and tail light,
you need to get all the little plastic rivits, the tail light
bracket, and the two screws that hold the tail to the bracket.
Best thing to do is go look at the fiche online at www.ronnies.com. |
In
order for the R6 under fender to fit between the FZR frame,
you need to cut it up a bit. I found that the battery box
fits right in perfectly, so cut the fender back a bit at
the same width. I ended up going a bit further back in the
end, but I wasn't sure how much I'd need to cut at first.
You can always take more off. |
|
You'll
need to cut off the seat lock section on this side of the
fender. |
Again,
I ended up cutting further than this, but this was a good
start. If you cut too much off, the fender is going to fall
through the frame. |
|
Here
we are with the first fitting. It's hard to explain, but
you want the fender at the rear peg brackets to be the same
width. |
|
|
We
can see here that the tail still needs to come up more at
the rear... it also needs to come forward a ways, as it sticks
out past the rear tire too far. |
