Hi guys and girls. I'm Alan. Just joined this place. I have two bikes. One is a Yamaha 2010 xj6. And second is. 2008 Yamaha yzf R1 on a 2011 plate. Which I want to turn into an upright because of back problems.

Welcome in Alan, great choice of bike the R1. As far as the conversion goes Hammy (member on here) is your best bet as he has had his done just a little while ago,

Enjoy the site and bike ;)
