2000 Yamaha R6, R1 front end, twin custom exhaust

Carb model R6, fitted with r1 front end, 99 R1 forks, 2004 r1 yoke/triple, 2003 r1 calipers, dynomite vented front mudguard, Motrax lines, billet top yoke, 99 R1 clip ons. Frame swingarm wheels etc all resprayed and laquered. All fixings stainless steel, custom twin high level cans, custom recovered seat. Built bike for the missis, but just as i got it finished we got her an 08 R6 that came up. This R6 rides verrry well with the R1 front end and is a very easy conversion, also fitted is an 04 R1 shock. The R1 yokes set the front wheel close to the bellypan, it doesnt touch though so its not a problem, enjoyed every minute of doing the bike and took approx 8 full days to completely strip and build back up. Bike sounds squeeky in the vid, thats because of cheap camera, it sounds really deep and throaty stood next to it.

Looks sick man want to do same conversion to mine. How did the head bearings fit? what did you have to do to make it work?

@Mcnutts3 just standard head bearings, r1 and r6 are the same, you just need to press the r6 yoke stem into r1 lower yoke.
