    Sooooo, its been a LONG time since i have posted. Sorry, haha.
    Im in alot of facebook groups and getting on and posting on forums is not something im really used to.
    As well as my time was also taken up by getting my old Galant on the road again (now as i sit here and type this its sitting in my backyard bloody broken again)

    Well, the two bikes have gone through alot of changes and i have basically made one bike out of the two, with a few mods....
    It looks nothing alike now.

    After riding the blue/white fizzer for a while i came to realise it wasnt in the best shape. So i decided to swap all the fairings/best parts onto my black bike as the mechanical side of things were alot better.
    Then the more i rode it the more the fairings deteriorated, and fell apart, and i was tossing up between buying a new fairing kit, or going down the road i had always wanted to and building a naked/cafe racer/brat styled fzr....so i built it brat style.

    Now il just dump some progress pics and how it sits now.
    Wont be massive or have teardown pics as resizing each image is a headache.
    Just a basic idea of the progress.
    Will try and give info with the pics.



    This is after i swapped all of the fairings/forks and subframe etc onto the black bike. Put new rear disk on, pads, serviced it and cleaned everything up.

    Then after getting sick of the fairings cracking, breaking and looking like crap. And a night on the piss, it ended up looking like this. I was happy with it at the time, but now after looking back it didnt look as good haha. Was noticeably lighter though. Subframe chop, aftermarket lights etc.

    Then a few weeks ago, i stripped the whole bike down again, and re-assembled including finally doing the ZXR250A Front end conversion as well as doing a R6 rear shock conversion. Being a heavier bloke, it now feels 100% better on the road. The subframe was also modded alot more to get more of the shape i wanted, tidied up all the wiring and got everything where i wanted it.

    Then another piece of the puzzle was the Brat Style seat i wanted. Built this from scratch out of a skateboard, foam and vinyl.
    Keep in mind, the subframe is going to be built from scratch to suit the brat style seat shape, as well as the seat will be built again with thicker foam. Also painted the tank the same colour as my Galant, chalkboard green haha. And cleaned up, and painted the subframe.

    And finally this is how its sitting at the moment. Im very happy with how its turned out. And i can happily say i have a very unique little fizzer haha. The bike will be stripped down and done 100% to make sure its perfect, thats after i build a new subframe. I guess this is still a prototype. But i really enjoy riding it and everyone that asks about it loves it.

    Still needs a bit of work as you can probably tell. Needs a front guard, and i will be getting a lithium battery that i can hide away to make the subframe look cleaner.
