Reviving a wrecked '02 Yamaha R6 from CL for $1100

[CtrlAltDl]

I was looking for a winter project and I came across this:

Looked at it went home and priced all the parts it needed to get it back on the road. The forks and frame look straight. Subframe does look a little crooked, but not bad. I picked her up for $1100.

How was 2nd gear on the bike? I know they have a reputation for blowing up...

2nd gear works great, except it makes the front end really light.

Needs plastics, 2 signals, left footrest and bracket, muffler, taillight, right clip-on, levers, etc...

Generator/stator and cover are shot.

I'd be rewinding the coils by hand and epoxy the whole mess.

I was half tempted to repair the windings too, but then I found a new aftermarket one shipped for $40 on feeBay.

I'm going to order up a whole new set of aftermarket plastics.

What do you think about the 50th anniversary retro color scheme?:

Diggen those, always wanted a newer r6 in the color scheme
