Agreed. My first question is... where did you find that tank? I've never seen one for the FZ6R with "YAMAHA" painted on it.I hate to say it, but if you're doing a salvage with a color change, to boot? That deserves it's own thread. I don't believe anyone here has done it, yet.
You need a build thread that we can all watch and comment on! Under either "Technical" or "Garage," I would think.
Looks good so far. I've so many darn questions that this thread is not intended for... You need your own thread.
Is there anyway to move my post to a new thread under GARAGE or do I need to recreate the post?I hate to say it, but if you're doing a salvage with a color change, to boot? That deserves it's own thread. I don't believe anyone here has done it, yet.

That Tank is the original white Tank. After I fixed the dents, I painted it Blue. The YAMAHA is a decal which is cleared onto the tank. I really wanted a little Retro touch. Not a big fan of the Emblem.Agreed. My first question is... where did you find that tank? I've never seen one for the FZ6R with "YAMAHA" painted on it.
As for what I did to my 6R today, I removed all the stock decals from the front and side fairings, other than the "YAMAHA" ones down low, then went for my first ride of the year at 35 degrees. A short one, to be sure, but it felt great to get back on her.
Then I came back and cleaned and lubed the chain. Now she's ready to go anywhere once the weather cooperates.
Looked at her and regret being an idiot! Might not get to ride for a while. After finding out some really bad news today I slammed my hand down on my desk and may possibly have injured my throttle hand. Gonna grab one of the ortho docs at work tomorrow and see if they can X-ray it.
I decided to quit being lazy and created the new thread.
Exactly. Have you ever been 100% sure you were going to get the job youve worked toward for 15+ years, a position that comes up maybe once every 5-7 years at most, only to be told that someone whos been there longer but is less qualified got it. AND its not a union job so seniority SHOULD have nothing to do with it. That would explain the crack in the top of my desk.
Look at simco or dual star grip heaters. Cheap and easy to install. Kept my hands comfy down to about 42 our so last Oct/NovFirst ride to work for the season!
