Just recovered my stolen 2012 R6 back, watching a bunch of full repairing/transofrmations videos on them and this one is stolen too, this is perfect for me lol. Great video.
Really well done! I appreciate the build being done in 1 video rather than dragging it out over multiple "episodes". I paid about double that for my 08 so you did good :P
Watching in 2023 as I'm getting ready to do an engine swap on a 2012 r6 I'm picking up for a good price. What an awesome video If I do say so myself!! Bike looks great!! Thanks for the content . Hope alls well.
Call me crazy but I would have completely disassembled the bike and gone through everything on this bike just due to the condition you got it. Good luck man.
I’ve got the same bike. Sold it, then recovered it after the buyer wrecked it stopped paying for me. I also restored it to as original as possible. I’ve decided now to do another makeover.
Great job buddy the bike looks amazing, love the colors red, white and black looks mint. Ride it with pride because the transformation is beyond words, such a nice bike now. Well done.
Just came across this as I was watching other rebuild vids. Nice work for your first build and upload. And the girlfriend doing research and finding the start issue...legend.
Awesome bike build man! Good job holding onto the legendary bike and fixing it 👍 Not many R6 builds on UA-cam but this was great one. Also the Alaskan Scenery man 😍🤤 it's Majestic!
I would really recommend you to get some more expensive clutch and brake levers asap. Getting fairings and cosmetic parts off of ebay or amazon is okay but any kind of performance parts you should buy from a reputable source. I've seen those cheap levers fail a lot, it is not something I would recommend anyone put on their bike. You can get amazing levers for around 200$ and it will make a lot of difference and you'll have a peace of mind.
Great job dude...that thing looked horrific before awesome job i actually re built my 08 r6 raven as well so i feel you're pain man jeep up the good work would love to see some more videos in the future
@@JulianGriggs awesome brotha id love to see a kawasaki build you dont see many of thoes it seems like everyone in the usa prefers gsxr 🤷🏻 but much love from your fellow Canadian
Criminals!!!! How can anyone let a bike get to this state! Absolutely criminal! Great to see someone bring a bike back to its original best.. my goal is to do the same at some point in life, if time, cash and the wife allows me to! Great video buddy 👍🏻
Outstanding turnover m8 ,and someone who is not scared to tell ppl the prices of 1 the bike and 2 the parts 3price and final bill ,Great video and content ,you did a great job ,I look forward to you next build ,some content of purchase of the bike ,looking for a project ,and then of course the build ,I am sure your channels will grow ,and you honesty will take you a long way,good look bro, you should. Keep that one for your collection ,or a giveaway when you reach hoe ever many subs or what ever 😎
Good video I enjoyed it. I think for the next ones you should add the prices up and have them on screen was a bit hard to hear you every time you went outside to talk about the bike, with the wind noise and all.
Rear fender looked atrocious lol Decent job, I think taking parts off the bike (forks, swingarm etc) to clean them would help do a cleaner job and also make better content. Cool to see her get cleaned up tho👍 Sad they prayed over those beautiful fairings
Really nice work! It would also be nice if you could tell how many hours you worked on it. How did the faring fit, no need for drilling new holes or so?
Thanks man! I didn’t really keep track of my hours but if I had to guess maybe 6-8 hours? The fairing kit fit really well I think I only had to increase the hole size on two pieces of the fairing.
Check out this stuff it’s hard to find they have it at your local Napas It’s called permatex Paint stripper sprayed on 10 minutes later take a hose in it all comes off including the other paint
Thanks for watching! I agree! There is a long wait for them tho… took a little over three months to arrive. I just ordered a new fairing set for a different bike and the wait time was the same. The quality is decent, not OEM but overall pretty good!
Hey! very very nice video. love it how simple it looks. i am trying to do the same on my channel with a cb500, just much less professional and slower :D good for beginners tho! Love your Content! Greetings from Germany!
I wondered the same thing. But I don’t think the 2012 model R6 had a chipped key. From what I was told the people who stole it destroyed the ignition to start it. So that had to be replaced.
It looks nice and you did a great job considering what it was when you first got it. However, you used really crappy Chinese parts and I’m not talking about the fairings. Steering, levers, brackets, shifters and pegs should be quality especially if you are going to be riding fast, hope nobody hurts themselves.
@@JulianGriggs i would disagree. Especially with videos like this i dont want someone screaming and laughing and smiling in my face the whole time, i really liked this.
April to September is usually the riding season sometimes early or later depending on the year. Summertime there is A LOT of riding/riders. It’s fun to take a few hour ride, my favorite place to ride to is Girdwood from Anchorage.
Akrapovic stainless steel header with A Akrapovic titanium megaphone slip on. Baffle was left in, tones it down slightly. Without the baffle it’s not fun to go on long rides haha.
everytime I see a bike recover like this, specially 600cc, they all have power commander but then I see shitty tires which means they aren't kneeddragers. that's lame.
ok you stole a machine like that but why you paint it like shit? whats the point? they dont even care and they use it for drug dealing? god damn some people work for life to get a machine and appreciate it like diamonds and the fools that stole it they dont even know whats it

yea like the crg's are legit some of the best you can buy and he took them off for cheap amazing levers lol
You could just bondo the gas tank and sand it carefully to match the contours. That's what I've done with gas tank dents before.

Hey brother can you tell me how much did the fairing cost? I was trying to check through the amazon link but it says they're unavailable.
NVM I just got to the price breakdown - over $500, not bad!

Shout out from South Africa. Great job on the bike!!!!
Thank you! Not sure if they make a kit for your bike, I had to do some searching before I found these guys on Amazon.
Hey man u could keep buying bikes and fixing them up and selling them and u would grow so much on yt!
Appreciate it! I am working on a new video now!
Keep going bro good job

Do you still have those brake and clutch levers?
I do not...
@@JulianGriggs ok thanks
How does one learn all this?
Just did this in mine and it was way worse whole front messed up had to change radiator triple clamps front wheels fitting fairing was a bitch haha
how someone can steal a bike with imobilizer ?I chain it but they can lift it but how can they start it ?

What the riding season like in Alaska?

@@JulianGriggs just curious. Don't see to many Alaskan motorcycle channels. That scenery is something else. All I see is corn when I ride.

What’s the full exchaust setup ?

Do u sell these bikes u build? If yes I’d like to buy one
Aye thanks man! I have sold some to fund other projects!
Jesus. As an owner of the same bike, seeing it in this state makes me sad. I own 1259 of 1500
where did you buy the bike from?
Bought it off of a guy from facebook marketplace. He bought it off Copart to fix it but never did, because of the no start problem.
저는 범죄자에게 세워둔 바이크를 파괴당햇고 그사람에게 폭력을 당해 몇년동안 병원에 있었습니다.

I don’t understand how these bikes are easier to build then the bike i have part are rare and expensive and its not that good looking 😭
really good job, but next just do the work, not much talk. thx

I talked to the previous owner, he said the bike was stolen and wrecked. I bought it from a guy who wanted to fix it but never got around to it.

Nice bike but thats not a restoration. You just bought new fairings. Should have repainted the frame.
Keep going bro, thumbs up from Morocco, would appreciate if you still have it and ship it to me as a giveaway hahahaha XD
change the tyres!! chicken strips on those things look ridiculous
That's the most abused looking motobike I've ever seen!
