Re: FZR400 trackbike build

So, yeah.

I may sell this, along with the R1 front end.

There's a guy locally selling an SV650S for STUPID cheap, and frankly it's too good of a deal to pass up.

Anybody want to buy a track prepped FZR400 with an r1 front end ready to swap on?

Re: Burning oil: should I fix or sell?????

Actually I might sell the trackbike I just bought and get an SV650. One came up for sale for RIDICULOUSLY cheap... I mean like too cheap to pass up.

Re: My new Liquid Silver 03 R6

I like it!

(I'll take your YZF swinger/wheel/brake setup if you decide to sell off the FZR!)

Re: FZR400 trackbike build

R1 front end has been acquired :D

All I need is a top triple and the bolts for the brake calipers.

Re: FZR400 trackbike build

Hrm.

So i was all set to just order a set of springs, emulators, and whatnot and just redo the FZR forks. Then I was just offered an R1 front end for 500 bucks.

Forks w/ triples
Calipers
Wheel w/ rotors (needs wheel bearings)

Basically everythign I need except clipons, right?

Re: FZR400 trackbike build

Need some advice -- I have a line on a complete 04 R1 front end, minus the top triple. What's a fair price? It's everything, forks, lower triple, wheel, brakes, clipons, and controls. All I would need is a top triple from ebay or something. He asked for $700. I thougth that was a bit high considerin...

Re: FZR400 trackbike build

So I'm cleaning the carbs, just for peace of mind after draining the pee-yellow fuel from the tank... http://photos.sixfivepony.com/d/26411-1/IMG_1273.JPG SOMETHING ain't right here... So I get a closer look. http://photos.sixfivepony.com/d/26414-1/IMG_1274.JPG Well, shit. It would appear that I am ...

Re: Kit Pool,

I dunno if this is something easy to come by, but I *desperately* need an air jet for one of my carbs. While disassembling them to clean, I noticed that one is just flat out missing.

Re: Hybrid Revisited

Yeah no worries, I hear ya. It's surprising how hard to find R1 front ends are, at least the older generation. All the stuff on ebay right now is the 07/08 stuff and it's ungodly expensive.

Re: Hybrid Revisited

Oh... so does this mean I shouldn't expect to buy the front and rear setups from you when my 50 sells?

No worries, I'd rather see another bike on the road anyway, I just wanted to be sure.

Re: FZR400 trackbike build

Yeah, I've been reading and reading. Though, if I happen to sell my Honda ZB50, I'd have the cash to just buy the front end and swingarm setups that MrFreeze is selling, bolt them on, and go ride.

You mean using the threaded rod, right?
