Well this forum is out of ideas so I thought I would post up my FZR1000 build on here. Some of you might have seen it on the FZR facebook page. Heres a few pictures of the bike when I first got her... A pretty damn solid bike, 100% stock and could still hit 200kph without missing a beat. Had 118,000km on her and most of the fairings were grazed to sh!t but still in good condition. Awesome all round bike, picked it up for $2300 which included door to door freight from halfway across the country. The idea was to turn her into a post classics racer and so the rebuild began. Current mods are as follows: K&N Panel filter Dynojet Stage 1 jetting kit 9kg of weight gone thanks to the angle grinder 6 Piston YZF750 Thunderace callipers with braided lines and upgraded master cylinder. Stainless Yoshimura RS3 Custom paint Planned mods: Stage 3 kit with pods/custom intake Rearshock upgrade 17 inch rear wheel Custom extractors and collector Dream/Stupid/Unrealistic mods: Fuel Injection Turbo Heres a few pictures from the build. THE TEARDOWN: REBUILD: Now I know that this isn't 250 related but hopefully it motivates a few of you to get out there and start doing it. All work has been done 100% by my hand except for the fairings which were molded by Glen from http://www.justfairings.co.nz, my 250 also features on his site. Updates will be provided as I gradually finish this bike. Shed-Life
There are a lot of good FZR1000 hanging around and it is definitely easier to get parts for them because the bikes were sold world wide. This seems to be a good forum for the larger FZR models - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/index.php">http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/index.php</a><!-- m -->
Hey there, nice bike. Did you put anti seize copper paste around the rear wheel spacers, axle and bearing area???
Lol yep thats copper based grease. Good spotting. Only stuff I had in the shed at the time, says on the back its fine for wheel bearings and such. Bike looks different now, tank is painted and rear end is finished. Will get some pics up soon
