Hello!
I picked up a 2011 FZ6R a couple weeks back and I'll be converting it to an XJ6N over the next month, so I figured I'd keep a build log here in case anyone is interested in following.
I've seen a few other conversion threads, but none in Canada yet... so here's hoping I'm the first
Here's the bike the day I picked it up (and as it stands today):
(yup, that's snow in the background still )
After reading a few other recommendations here, I decided to order my parts from Matakos Motors in Greece and have them shipped over. Panagiotis, the rep I've been dealing with, has been extremely helpful and very quick to respond; great prices too. I did speak to a few local Yamaha dealerships, but none were able/willing to order in parts from Yamaha Europe.
I placed the order for the parts today, he expects to receive them within 5-7 days and said I should receive them within 15 days after that
