Just finished Wrapping my new R6

Any love for this comfy rocket ship?

Shiny vehicles go faster

1990 model, previous owner molested it, left side alternator cover clearly shows a long drop and all 4 indicators are cracked but plastics are alright, cracks here and there but apart from that it’s got fresh pipes since these bikes tend to rot from the inside with the old manifold pipes.

Switchbox for headlights is fucked and I can’t figure out how to get the contacts working, something not sitting right in the housing + there’s only 1 shitty damaged unit on ebay right now for an NC29-L model and he’s wanting £50 for it so I’m gonna try soldering a solution which has dips always running and full beam working again.

Clutch is dragging too on start up but 5 minute fix hopefully otherwise a deeper issue. Mechanically the engine is solid, no problems revving up to 14.5k but 2nd gear sometimes slips into neutral under load so the previous guy was hard on the shifts I think.

Apart from the issues it’s a really good bike, especially for a 1990, handles just as good as any modern bike I’ve owned and has twice the character, once I fix it back to pristine condition I bet it’ll be like a knife through butter.

Beside my ride are Royal Enfield Himalayan Scram 411 & Orange Rust RE Interceptor 650.

Did a post before and made a new minor upgrades to the best aesthetic 😊

Custom decals and rims… old classic but still a beast of a machine. 🏍️💨

Bought my dream bike at 21 years old in cash. Very humbled and grateful for this opportunity. Stage 2 BT moto with full Akra exhaust, plus tons of cosmetic mods! :)
