Talking my bike almost done

so im pretty much finished with the winter projects i had for my bike which were, 600rr swingarm, raise the rear sets, get some plastics repaired and painted. i got her all put together today minus the chain that i still need to buy since the rr swingarm is longer. but tell me what you guys think about it.
before

after




i think my next project it to figure out how to get the rr subframe or r6 subframe on so i can do undertail exhaust and clean up the look of the bike some

Looks good, but you should have got the swingarm powder coated black like the rest of the frame.
How hard was it to do the swingarm swap?

Looks awesome but what exactly is the point of putting an rr swingarm on? Mere looks?

Nice bike. I like the conversion and am happy with the performance with the 600RR S/A.

Here's a pic:



I am getting the wheels powder coated a different color and changing the rear sprocket.

Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

its not that much work and it makes your bike stand apart from the rest. lgmendez your bike looks sweet with the swingarm powdercoated, what size of chain did you have to go with?

Smile 600RR swing arm

Alot of mods are done because its certain guys nature to never leave stuff factory. Besides, if its worth it to the owner to do it and it makes that person happy, go for it. Your not hurting anyone. Anywho, as far as the chain / sproket combo, I had to put a 15 tooth JT sprocket up from and use a stock RR chain, 525 112 link if I recall correctly. The stock F4i is too short. I just had my wheels poweder coated in gold, so I'll post up pics once its put back together, just waiting on the superspox new rear sprocket to come in. I do think the arm looks so much better powder coated!!!!

Here are some more pics:
