That's the best of both worlds right there. I see the engine still looks perty.

Pretty wicked looking.
I'd be nervous about not having a clutch handle anywhere accessible during emergency procedures. Typically suicide shifters have the clutch on the left foot. I would not want to have to come to a quick stop with only one hand the bars. Yikes.

well they don't call it a suicide shifter because of how safe it is... i can still handle it pretty well.

first pic looked like the speedo and tach were cup holders thats, what i gotta get. going to work i can never get coffee used to wedge the cup between frame and fairings but i lost it about 50% of the time

that thing is wicked awesome! i personally would not do any type of streetfighter setup on my fzr, but i respect everyone's tastes and work that goes into the bike. i really like how it looks without the tail at all, just stops after the seat...sweet. great work man, keep it up

Pretty freakin cool. The engine is very clean. What else you going to do with it?

thanks guys. well i just put in ford coil packs and hardwired my fan to a toggle switch... it's lowered about an inch... i shortened the swing arm about 2 inches... the speedo on the bar is for a bicycle but it's supposed to be accurate up to 180mph. radar detector is mounted up front too. i'm sure i'm missing stuff. but i don't have specific plans for it. i am constantly having new ideas and many of them are terrible

. i kind of wing it.

I can tell that bike anywhere!!! the Fur gave you away!

Wasup streetfighter? Glad you moved over , i didn't see the final pics of your build... (looks SICK!) Hopefully you got some time to ride her over the summer.. Where did you put that battery, under the tank? Welcome again & nice job on the bike

thanks it's good to be here

the battery is under the seat right up next to the gas tank. and i'm always trying to perfect the exhaust. with nothing it's a bit too raspy and gives no backpressure. turns out certain aerosol cans (axe' fabreeze and any other that size) slip right over the exhaust when you cut off the bottom. so that allows me to clamp it with a hose clamp and drill it until i get it right. right now i have a homemade muffler that doesn't sound too bad and gives about the right amount of backpressure for my bike. looks a little odd though...

Wow never thought Id see an fzr like that. You gotta do something about the fuzzy seat, it throws off my mojo. Clean up that shifter too...Other than those two things, very sick ride.
