What I started with:



What it all looks like now:



Some new parts:



new shoes:



Sexy black wheels:

Some extra fairings for the track:



More parts:



My favourite part:



What I'd like my FZR to look like when I'm done:




Some assembly required. I think I may try to safety wire the bike so I can be SOAR ready if I want to go racing. I can't wait for some warmer weather to get out in the garage again!!

Looks good there....

Are you doing any suspension upgrades?

I wish I had a heated space as well, its tough working in the cold.

When the budget allows, I have spoken to a John S. from Accelerated technologies about setting up the front end. Race tech emulators, Ohlins springs, etc. As far as the rear shock goes, there isn't actually anything available so I'll have to look at somehow fitting up an Ohlins shock from a later FZR. Not exactly a common bike anymore, so I'm going to have to do my homework.

This reminds me of how bad I want an FZR400 project.
