FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

Sorry for the lack of updates, been very busy with other stuff. The bike is now 100% finished in its fabrication stage, R6 swingarm/wheel works well, as do the R6 clocks, everything now works as it should, so before tearing the bike down for its final paint i rode it today to make sure everything wa...

It's a Thundercat tank, and fitted the frame better than the original FZR400 tank did, it just needed a new rear mounting bracket making which was very simple.

Another update, i got the Thundercat tank mocked in place, it still needs the rear mounting sorting and a few cosmetic details but it fits the frame much better than the stock 400 tank did. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/paddy1970/woodsport3/DSCN0890.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62...

The next mod for this bike is fitting a Thundercat fuel tank, the FZR400 one is just too skinny on this bike. Believe it or not the TC tank fits the frame lines better than the stock tank but there are mods to do. Stock airbox is a no no and even with these socks fitted it comes close. The rear moun...

You're not kidding, that thing is amazing.

It's been a while since my last pic update so here goes. As mentioned earlier i managed to fit the 5EB R6 swingarm very easily, on a 3TJ all you need to do is shave down the pivot point on the arm, ream out the chain side bearing hole a little deeper and insert new bearings, after that the stock 3TJ...

Hi, have you got any links to Ernests build? I'd love to see that.

Yes this is a great forum, i've learned a hell of a lot since coming here, totally priceless info when you're doing a project.

Is yours a 3TJ or 1WG Gussy?

Today i made a bit of a discovery, something that i'd not read anywhere before so hopefully proves useful to someone. I decided to start my R6 swingarm conversion, and while measuring pivot widths against the 3TJ frame (which are different) i looked at the pivot bolt and it looked like it might be a...

Thankyou Cad, perfect info

Minor update, the project has taken a slightly different direction with the swing arm, i was originally going to use a VFR750 SSSA but i've now decided to go 5EB R6 swinger, in fact the entire rear will be R6. I've already bought the complete back end for cheap. I'm aware of the difference in front ...

Hi Target, yeah your bike was the inspiration behind me using the ducati fairing, i love the look. Yours seems to be pointing downwards a little compared to mine, yes i agree i think it fits the 3TJ lower fairing a lot better.

Still looking for a headlight, those things are not cheap!

Sorry i'm new here, location added.

I hope to do a detailed write up of some of the mods if anyone fancies copying them.

Hi guys, thought i'd start a build thread about my bike, it's an 89 FZR400 (3TJ) but has had a Foxeye 600 engine conversion. Although i love the stock FZR400 fairing i have always had a love of Ducati styling, so one of my first mods was to fit the 996 top fairing. I kept the 400 lower fairing and i...

Hmm , i'm a little confused, surely if the R6 uses say a 28 tooth cog and i fit a 28 tooth cog to my bike then the signal will be correct going to the R6 clocks? (assuming sprockets/tyres are the same) I've seen the speed healer unit but i build my own speedo correction units for my Toyota Mr2 engin...
