Very nice. How does it ride and feel? Every time I've sat on the '06-'08 models it felt like I was being pitch too far forward.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

It feels like it was made for me, the only thing I don't care for about the seat is that it's very very hard compared to my FZR seat, but all in all it's great!

+5 on that good to look at but at 6' 2" that fairing edge sticks my knees too far in the breeze, the same as all the other 600's I have tried in the last year (ducati's + the jap big 4 ) the 1000 cc models were fine but I do not need or want that much bike if I could have found a 400 FZR i would be just as happy or happier.

VERY NICE! I bet you won't want to ride your FZR any more pretty soon. Just be careful (RPM's) during the break-in period. Any plans for selling the FZR ?

It's already on Craigslist. Once you've taken a spill on the FZR, I guess it's time to move up to something with more power.... LOL2
