Not used to seeing it with bodywork. I bet it'll run even better with everything covered and cutting through the air better. I can vouche for that bike since I've actually ridden it.... f*ck fast.

Gezz really two years? Congrats man. Im jealous duane. I want to ride one with the 630 kit in it... =( ... I need another FZR in my life..

I love the paint and the endurance style light, it really is the shit. Tear some new ass up out there.

How well does the flow commander really work? AND can we expect maybe to see a swingarm swap this winter?? =X

A few more pictures that were on my card.

As for the flo commander he hasn't really used it yet, but I can tell you that mine is nice. Makes tuning with pods on waaaaaay easier.

That light is awesome btw. It's a Hella 90mm projection lens with an HID kit in it. VERY bright.

I'll let Dillon comment on the swingarm but my guess is no. I think he wants to ride it and make sure that come spring it's still ready to ride.

swingarm swap would be cool but like nate said come spring i want to RIDE. It's been 2 years and too much time on the ninja to have any more downtime on the fzr. If nate finds some swingarm and wants to make my fzr the test subject come next winter i'll be down, but for the forseeable future it's gonna stay how it is so i can actually enjoy it instead of just stare at it. I really appreciate the comments it means a lot to see 2 years of work go appreciated by the community. I want to say again that I could have never done it without nate and his expertise. He's been a great asset to the build and hopefully i've given enough back to complement his favor to me. :udaman nate

Hopefully with the Stage 7 jet kit, pod filters, full exhaust, flo-commander and 630 kit, i'll be pushing over 100hp. Sucks that newer 600's are doing around 130hp, but i think that this will be more than enough bike for me for the forseeable future.

welp, it's been a while but last year when I was about to take the bike home, it wouldn't idle steadily and we noticed a coolant leak. Turns out that the coolant leak was coming from the water pump, so that had to be replaced. After that was replaced, it started leaking from the coolant tubes that go into the head of the engine, so I replaced the O-rings on those pipes. After the coolant issues were resolved, i still had issues starting and idling, so with the help of Andy, we tore the carbs apart and cleaned every last part of them. Reassembled and the bike now starts without even needing the choke, and it doesn't leak anywhere! Assembled all the plastics and hooked up the headlight and mirrors and took it for a test drive around the parking lot. Going to throw insurance on it and drive it home back to milwaukee in a couple of weeks, and hopefully enjoy riding for the rest of the summer!

Thanks again to thatkid aka nate for all of his help. I've said it before but no way could I have done this without him.
