|
I own SB6R Nr. 275 for 9 years, live in Switzerland but I am new in this forum (hello everybody). Over time I made many small modification but kept the look original.
Main changes:
chain: replace 532 by more common 530
damping front : wilbers progressiv spring
damping rear: change spring rate to 105Nm/mm (I am 74 kg)
fuel pump: replace vacuum pump by electrical pump placed in airbox
air filter: replace sponge by BMC type cotton filter
Electrical: installed relay for lights and main key switch
Front brakes: replaced disc flowters (that do not make noise)
Head light: from yamaha fr1000 with H4 led ligh
Raiser (30mm) clip-ons from LSL
Moved trip "meter zero-setter" bottom in the middle to the left side to make place for navi
What are your mods? |

Hi Ulrich
welcome to the forum.
I have owned my SB6R for 19 months but have not made any modifications. I have changed all the wheel bearings, the swing arm bearings and fitted new sprockets and chain (original sizes).
I think the best modification to make to a SB6R is to replace the Antera wheels - but with what? Carbon fibre wheels are nice and light but too expensive. I was looking at OZ wheels that are fitted to certain Aprilia bikes as replacements. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Too many projects............... |

Hi there.
Yes replace the wheels. The carbon are expensive but the SB6 and the SB6R are unusual fitting, at least the carbon wheels bolt straight in with no messing about.
I think your mods are fine. Cut the rubber cover to the alternator. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
