Introduction and my 1992 XJ600 Diversion
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 4:28 am
Hello Guy's
Some one on another forum kindly pointed me in this direction for people with a bit more experience with the older XJ6. So thanks for giving me membership..
A little about me, I would describe myself as a novice rider as I have very little motorcycling experience, in fact I only started riding a motorcycle February 2014 but I love it. Surprisingly my new found love for motorcycles has crept into almost every aspect of my life, as if I am not riding I am normally tinkering.
And it's this tinkering that has led me to posting this thread.
I have purchased aXJ6 as a project bike, with very little mechanical knowledge I have decided to convert a1992 Diversion XJ6 into a naked streetfighter. Now given the state of the bike when I received it, the bike needed a complete strip down to the frame, a degunk, which is about where I am now.
The bike is stripped and I have ground down the fairing mount points at the front, I was planning to paint the parts myself, but have been looking at powder-coat options as I wasn't aware you could powder-coat different colours. I said i was a novice Smile
The videos on my you tube channel shows the progress also provides what I hope to do with the bike.
Given my complete novice status, there are bound to be parts where i get stuck or just need a second opinion, which is where hopefully you guys come in. Thanks in advance...
Thanks for the membership, take care and ride safe..
