Hey guys,

a couple of weeks ago I got an offer from one of my customers.
He has a K6 1000 that he converted to a streetfighter after a slide some years ago. He wanted to buy some stuff from my warehouse and offered me to exchange his bike for the products.
K6 with 43000 miles on it /70000 km
Normaly I don’t do trades but as I have raced with a K1 about 10 years ago I just could not say no for old time sake 😊.
Just to give you an idea, retail price of the products $1550,00. So a pretty good deal I think 😎.
By the end of this week the bike should arrive so I can start with a major maintenance on the bike.
Also planning for trying to fit my forged OZ RSV mille/Tuono wheels, but need to get some measurements first.

some pics of the bike.

Welcome. It doesn't look that bad but please bring it back to its original look. Did the PO make those air scoops? What is the headlight from? It must have been quite a slide as it looks like all original bodywork is gone. The screws attaching the front fender were originally bright zinc. Did he black them out?

Could you take a closeup pic of the warning label on the left frame rail and post it here? I think it's a label about not altering the frame.

I have to check when the bike is here this week.

Got the bike yesterday delivered in my warehouse.

This is the story so far:
about 5 years ago he had a slide after avoiding a car that turned in front of him.
The insurance company did not pay enough money out to get the bike fixed with original fairings so after talking to S&S (his local repair shop) they did the street fighter conversion.
Tail piece is from a CBR600, headlight he does not recall anymore.
He is going to bring all the original parts also so I can still decide to return it original if I want.

The frame itself I did a quick check-up nothing to see from damage.
There are just 2 holes drilled extra to secure the seat.

All in the bike is in pretty decent condition (for a bike with 77000 km's and 16y old).

First things first now: (its winter time here now so perfect timing )
replaced the lead acid battery with a JMT Li-Ion battery I still had lying around.
Reversing the shift pattern to 1 up and the rest down (GP shifting) because I always used this since 2010 on all my bike's)
Replacing the fluids and filters.
Also considering replacing the sprockets and chain for a 520 set. (not sure what tooth count to get)

better insurance next time, usually they total the whole bike..

Headlight is of a Yamaha MT03, 2006 up to 2015.

The electric Zero motorcycles also used this for their lineup until 2020.

I did not have the accident, it was the previous owner 😉

01-08 Wheel Fitment

I decided to make this since I had a rough time finding this info. Initial differences: 01-02 uses 320mm front rotors (same as the 99-07 Hayabusa) and a 220mm rear rotor. 03-04 uses 300mm front rotors and a 220mm rear rotor. 05-08 uses 310mm front rotors (same as the 08-09 Hayabusa) and a...
