Default 2007 R6 rebuild

So here is the 2007 R6 that I went to pick up from NY. These are just the beginning pictures so it will look ugly for a week or two but it's a start.






Hopefully by the weekend I will get some pictures of the bike by itself and then next week I should start getting it looking pretty again.

Yea, thanks. It'll be fun for sure. It's mainly cosmetics so it won't be too bad

Here are a few starting pictures:

But since stock fairings are expensive as hell, I'm probably gonna end up getting an aftermarket kit. If it fits REALLY well, then I'll just paint the aftermarket fairings to the stock color. We'll see
