Frame Chopping

Post by coxylaad » Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:19 pm

Been thinking about where to chop my frame for the change in rear end.

Just wondered what everyone else has done who has fitted the R6 rear end?
I am considering making a bolt on rear end so I can chop and change if I feel the need.

If anyone has any pics of their modified frames they wouldnt mind posting up that would be excellent

Here's mine though if I did it again I'd make a bolt on to make it swapable. I can take some pics of the seat mount if it would help?

Yes i cut mine just after were the tank finishes and welded on 4 lugs so that i could swap and change. i did have an R6 2000 rear end on it untill i got bored so now it has an R6 2007 rear end. it looks the dogs with the 2007 R6 full fairing on. although i got bored again so i'm just finishing fitting the R6 2009 fairing. I'm not putting lights in this time as i don't want the weight, besides i mostly use it for track days now. I will MOT it for day time use though, Just in case,
I would post some pictures but haven't worked out how yet. if you want picks send me your email

:D Don't forget for a daytime MOT, you need an electric horn that goes beep! It can be battery powered, so that you can remove it for trackdays. you don't need a speedo, but it may help for the cameras.
