She's almost done...
 

I posted a while back about the bike Ive been workin on for the past year. Its an 89 FZR 600, yeah I know not your most popular bike. BUT.... I have done alot to the bike while it was on the road over the years and I figure screw it, the motor's fine and its paid off. Why not stunt it out, its old who care's?

Well. a small project turned into a full custom jobber. Like one of ther other guys in this forum, I hacked off ther tail section and swapped it with an '01 R6 tail. But I added my own flavor....I made my own undertail and added an SV1000S tail light to it. Welded up a damn sweet 12 bar and bolted it to the braced frame. I finished the paint a fiew months back and its been sleeping since then.

In another one of my ebay spending spree's I was like screw it, I dont like the skinny a$$ back tire or the chinsey swingarm. So I ordered up an '04 R6 rear swingarm and suspention along with a back rim to match. I just got the suspention the other day in the mail and Im awaiting the rim still. Over the summer I odered an '03 R6 front suspention and '01 R1 front calipers to throw on aswell.

Just to get a taste of what it looked like b4 and what it looks like now here you go. Ill update the pictures when I mount the new R6 stuff :apimp .

Lemme know what you think..

Oh yeah, it only cost me $100 for the swingarm, linkage, shock, chain, chain guard, and swingarm blot where it mounts to the frame.

Re: She's almost done...
 

holy shit, talk about polishing a turd....


you've done some nice work man.. but is that motor even gonna cut it?

Re: She's almost done...
 

Very nice work, the bike looks good. How was your frame done? Looks sweet

Re: She's almost done...
 

shaved head, valve job, stage 3 jet kit, full V&H exhaust, exhaust tuning kit, shift kit... Lets just say back in '02 when it was on the road last, I tapped the tail light a fiew times. Its a spitting image of the YZF 600 motor (NOT R6). The only difference between the two motor's is the head. On the YZF there a motor mount on the head, on the FZR head there isnt. So Basically I did up a YZF and shaved 100lbs off of it, its an all aluminum frame and not steel.

I got sick and tired of polishing it over the years so I used an air tool with a plain old cleaning disk on it to give it a back ground effect. Then I spray'd it with a translucent Candy apple blue with pearl, and covered it with about 6 coats of clear.

lol, its just a stiffer spring on the inside shift linkage and needle bearing on a shifter arm inside behind the clutch basket

Re: She's almost done...
 

so it clicks into gears harder.. interesting... guess it's harder to miss shift that way

Yep, I love it. Ive never missed ashift with it in. Soon as I pull the shifter it throw's it right in gear every time.

Thank's, yeah it's taken sometime. But I started it last fall when I had my first baby boy, and I get laid off every winter for work cuz i work construction. So needless to say I had some time on my hands. But I love doing it for fun too soo......

Re: She's almost done...
 

That's cool man i wish i had more free time i just bought a house with a nice garage so we'll see what i can come up with for a good project

Re: She's almost done...
 

well I got all my parts Ive ordered except my back rim. I won that off ebay on the 12th with 2-3 first class mail.......not here yet?? WTF I sent this guy 9 messages and he only sent me 2 back saying he was on vaca for the holiday and he got back on xmas day. Ok I let it go he was with family....

Well he said he'd send it out on tuesday 2-3 day first class and the fu(ker still aint here.. I sent him a message sayin If I dont have it my tuesday, his ass is getting reported and I WILL get my money back. I went threw ebay and I have every document showing when it was paid and when I won the bid. I just want my damn rim.....
