Just looking for a few pointers for parts that might fit the bike, like the VFR800 swing arm that i will get around to at some stage. What about forks? Worth changing? Do Fireblade forks fit etc.?

Also any tail/subframes that might fit on without too much trouble. (I might make my own)

Pics to follow, i just havenโ€™t got around to making an image hosting account.

I just bought an โ€˜06 and love it, also have an โ€˜05 ZX6R

Sweet as! Thanks. Are they much better do you know or purely aesthetic?

Also what year? Same year as my bike?

I kinda have an unforeseen โ€˜problemโ€™...

I donโ€™t think I wanna make this bike a street fighter, I donโ€™t know if i can improve how this looks, i think it looks f#%king great. Even though Iโ€™d never think about putting camo design on a bike and itโ€™s pretty beat up.

What would you do to mod it?

Iโ€™ve just started messing around, stripped Fairing and put up right bars on. Just mocking up stuff atm.

Itโ€™s going to remain pretty rough until the home stretch, which im in no hurry to get to.
