first, let me say hello! my names Jeremy D'Ambrosio, and im sort of new here. ive been lurking around for a while, never really registered due to the fact i was a supermoto rider without a sportbike (saddled on a drz-sm), until a few months ago i purchased an fz6 and fell in love with bikes.
ive been riding dirtbikes for 11 years now, been through a few GNCC series, along with AWRCS. got into street about 3 years ago, and just loved dragging knee and backing in ever since (both to which i am not that good at hahaha!)
on to the good stuff! this winter has my fz6 under heavy construction. I just dont like fairings; and coming from dirtbikes, wind hitting my face with no windshields or stationary plastic in my way is just natural to me.
ive always loved the euro fz6, so i figured i send a search to "strip" my fz6 naked!
about a week ago i came across a very nice member named wavex who had connections to an expensive, but very unique and sleek looking naked headlamp manufacturer in Europe. hes helping me to acquire a KMP K3 style light (link:
KMP - Spécialiste de la pièce détachée de GSX-R de 1985 à nos jours.)
along with converting my light setup, i will be painting the bike with help from a buddy who knows his stuff (far more than I, which, is nothing)
the bike will be coated with a pearl orange rust with black accents.
i also have some pazzo levers, and other accessories on order, as for blinkers and other naked convert parts, im still looking around for the right style. im trying to use some of wavex's references, with staying away from copying his bike. no one likes a duplicator!
here's the start product. a spiffy 07 fz6, equipped with some leo vince carbons. also pictured is the orange sample my bike will be painted, a pic of my previous DRZ, and me in my gear (minus the joe rocket pants i have on order to match the jacket).
cant wait to see the turn-out! i will provide pic-by-pic descriptions as i progress!
