Im reposting my build from the archives that I started last night finally.
Okay so I've finally got my shop set up some what and time to start my tear down. As you see in my Signature I have some planned mods that I've been talking about doing and parts that I've been gathering. So let me first and formost post a picture of what my baby looked like before. Its a 1992 FZR 1000. Bought it back in March of 2010 and have been in love since. My 2nd gear went a few months ago and she's been eating oil... While in there why not change some stuff up right??
A nice example of a fizzer in my book. I flipped here before those pictures back in july by not covering the rear brake acting a fool... Then Brought her back to standerd smile.gif
So now the time has come. Posted up in my shop:
After a few hours last night of organizing tools and some beers, shes down to this minus the header:
I just got this in the Mail today from CAD600(Rob) THANKS AGAIN BRO
So far I need to source myself the following parts: Wiseco 1040 kit(sourced), Thunderace crank(Sourced), Gaskets, Yzf 750 rear wheel and assmb,a Billet clutch basket, Slotted Cam sprockets.... A lot of other things... the list is always growing
I have a YZF750 6 spd trans I'll post pictures tomorrow and my 750 cams( I got from Nate; ThatKid) Also have a 750 swinger that I shall be banging on for a bling effect.
I know its sacreligious but I'll be powdercoating the frame and swinger... I cant do with the constant polishing as I ride ALOT...I basically commute on my 1k.
So this is the start to my build on Reptar(My 1k dinosaur) I'll be going down tomorrow to pull the front end off as Im sending that and some various bits to Nate for powdercoating along with a rebuild of the forks. And thats where Im at. Not to shabby for a few hours of work but Im expecting to get her done by April ish with the tight income flow of a 22 yr old... tongue.gif
