As I have my fireblade for daily fast use I want to convert the XJ600 to a more accomplished tourer, I've already brought an FZR600 rear wheel, ER6 Rear shock and played around with spacers in the front forks along with new fluid to sort out the handling,
Now comes the touring bit. a previous bike was a triumph sprint executive I loved that bike but it was a right old bus so heavy and the engine was agricultural at best.. So the XJ6 is low light, reasonably powered for touring and easy to ride for a very long time.
Plans:
Panniers (aluminium box style)
Extended Screen
Heated grips
Intergrated sat nav (moulded into upper tank area)
R1200GS handguards
Pilot road tyres
Watch this space I'll update with PICS as I go... these bikes always seems to go the cafe or streetfighter style which looks great but I think the simple air cooled engine will lend itself to some high mileage touring.
