I have been looking for a bike to build into a track bike for a while now and I finally found something cheap with a lot of potential. On 7/15/2011 bought a very used and very abused 2007 R6v. It has definitely had a hard life and I hope to bring it back to life on the track. From what I was told I am the 4th owner of this bike. The bike was rear ended with ~400 miles on it the swing arm and sub frame were bent and the owner sold it #2. #2 bought a new swing arm and few misc. pieces but never did any work to the bike and sold it to #3 with all the parts. #3 bought this bike for a track bike build and swapped the swing arm, and put some race glass on it. The fuel line ruptured while on track and the bike caught on fire and I guess was put out pretty quick as the bike didn't go up in flames completely. #3 went through the bike after the fire initially and cut out a lot of the burnt and melted wiring harnesses, he and did a quick assessment and decided it would be more work than he wanted to deal with. Most of the damage was limited to the area around the fuel pump/airbox/throttle bodies. I spent some time this weekend taking it apart and figuring out what was salvageable and what was toast (literally) and what I needed to get it running again.

I am switching some parts over to 2008 spec because I have 2008 Armour bodies race glass from my current bike that I would swap over for track days but that got really old, really fast swapping the parts over when I wanted to go to the track or street ride.
Now on to some pictures.
A few phone camera shots before I started digging into the bike.
You can see some of the melted wiring and damage the fire did to the throttle bodies and the surrounding area.
Warped airbox cover.
Damaged fuel pump.
Rashed stator cover.
Melted oil dipstick and oil cap.
Melted radiator fans.
Broken tab on the lower triple. This will be repaired.
Damaged coil pack wiring. I think two of four might be salvageable.
Melted throttle cables.
Bent and cracked sub frame.
I got an Olson Y-pipe on the bike but the guy didn't bust out the cats in the secondary head pipes. So I busted those out.
Just some randoms.
I'll be updating this thread as stuff comes and parts are installed. I fully expect this to be a pretty long build because I don't have super deep pockets just yet but hopefully everything ends up working out in the end.
