Default Another 600RR swap

My bike was knocked over so i started looking for a new F3 body with the help of a couple guys here and the backbone to attempt it i decided on the 05 06 600RR body
I tried to take some pics that would help people understand the detail i had to put into some areas like:

The bracket i hjad to make to hold the front fairing stay braket to the frame of the F3
how i used the F3 seat instead of that thin crap they call a seat
and the cuts i had to make on the fairings to make them sit properly on the frame

Honestly with the way bikes are looing now i couldnt bring myself to ride a 20 yr old bike without it looking up to todays standard of rocket personally im very happy with the way it turned out and im looking for feedback to tweak and adjust some things

im more than happy to help any 1 with questions so hit me up here or email me so we can all have newer looking bikes

special thanks to Mad Hatter, I Do Dirt, BPWilson, 74Demon for the help. u guys are seriously great
And to CustomCBR600 AND Demented F3 without a write up and pics i wouldnt of thought it would be possible thanks again

good job!

New fairings on older bikes, the ingenuity to make it work... that's what it's all about. Just make sure that bracket for the front stay bar is rock solid. The one thing i realized with my f4i conversion, is if you cheap out on solid parts, the vibration will impact how well it all holds together!

I wish I did the 600rr front and sides, the f4i look nice, but just not as aggressive. Love to see your stay bar bracket! and any other pics along the way!

good question on the gauges. Not sure. I've only ever seen F4i gauges swapped.
