ravenlord Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 May as well introduce myself. I am 26 from Nova Scotia, Canada. I bought a 2000 R6 earlier in the year to see if I liked a sport bike. Decided I liked my license and a sport bike should be for track only, and then she blew up on me. Cracked [HASH]2 Cylinder wall. C'est La Via, I said to hell with it and bought myself a 2015 Red FZ-07. I have put 400km's on it in the past 2 days, and plan to have it fully broken in by Wednesday. After that I am putting the R6 front brakes on it and possibly the rear shock if it will fit. After that I want bar end mirrors, Akropovic Titanium exhaust, and a small wind deflector.

Global Moderator Guru Posted July 6, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nice, congratulations on you purchase @ravenlord. I see you dropped a pin on the member map too. Thank you! Would the R6 front fork made to fit too I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlord Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 R6 forks are 43mm in Diameter, and the FZ-07 are 41mm. I have yet to rip them off, so I don't know what the diameter at the mounting portion is. I need to stop riding for a few minutes to see if the forks will fit, but I love this thing too much.

Global Moderator Guru Posted July 6, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted July 6, 2015 Don't vote, it's a tie between red and white ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlord Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Considering I want to paint the bike I will abstain from voting. Thinking either a matte lime green, or a purple known in the BMW world as Techno Violet. It is an M3 colour that I absolutely love. I checked, and neither the forks or the rear shock from the R6 will fit the FZ-07 without extensive modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetgirl Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi ravenlord! I hope you go with the techno violet. I think that would look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
