I have just purchased this old ER6 which will become my 2018 race bike
It will be a supertwin
Plan is
Zx6R front end with Ktech internals
Ktech rear shock on a Versys swing arm
MSS Tuned engine
MHP custom pipe
Moto 2 or KMR bodywork
Ram air
Slipper clutch
Bored out throttle bodies
Custom loom
Data logging
Etc etc
The rest to Work out as I go
Other changes = me not being a fat git & rediscover some riding confidence
Is the Versys swing arm longer or something?
I look forward to reading about the progress. :afro:

It's stiffer AND lighter
Most importantly it's in the rules

This is sort of thing I'm going for

easier said than done as I discovered.

Good luck.

+1
Love ER6s :afro: :moto:
Today's decision
Don't strip the bike and get the frame straightened
Just buy a newer model straight frame ... it's cheaper and will make the build easier
Guess the shitter has become a donor bike instead
The bill just went up a few hundred quid
No biggie
