Re: FZR600 Anatomy

Welcome to the board. The J-tubes are overflows. The connector blocks were inside the frame on my bike.

Re: Glass beading plastic body parts ?

I would recommend heat and peel for removing textured paint. If it isn't gripping well, then it should come off easier than a vinyl sticker.

Re: full gasket set / kit
