I know most of you guys hate reading long posts, so i'm going to do this in pictures...Here goes
To preface this, i owned an 89 FZR600 in college. an untimely end into the side of a Cadillac got me out of the game for a while, that was back in '94.
my first lady...
New girl when i brought her home in 2001(i think) 1994FZR600
first mod, R6 tail! and bought a cheap non running 92 for my wife. she never rode it. sold it to a guy who sold it a few years later to Tomgun!
made a custom undertail. the bug really started kicking in!
decided to go a route noone else has taken, Ducati upper! and misc other body parts. insanity started kicking in!
started to build a custom dash, with a Veypor to show me how slow i ride.
painted(with spray gun, first time ever) not bad, this lasted almost a whole year!
it neeed more! and as luck would have it, China Racer blew up his TZR250, and i could always use a new swingarm and 17" rear wheel!
into the garage again for test fitment.
Body panels off, something else needs to be done, what could it be...FZR400 frame!
bunch of pics from a year worth of her on jacks and hanging from strap in the garage
and she's done! or is she....
met up with a couple of guys from the board, notice the 2nd blue FZR in, thats Tomguns (or was) the same siver and red bike from the previous pic.
that lasted a couple months, what else? A new tank! FZR400rrsp!
wasnt riding, so i figured i'd try my hand at fiberglass, needed a seat cowl sooooo...ZX6R cowl! (there is a write up for this on here)
and she's done! (with some gentle coaxing from Sweekster, i painted the forks and R6 can)
Just kidding! not done!
The plastics were getting a bit worn, and i wanted to try my hand at painting again...sooo
my daughter helping wet sand!
and paint!
a few of how she sits now, as of saturday. (Tomgun traded up to the Duc in the pic)
What color is it? BMW Arctic Silver.
Left to do?
I have to finish the dash and upper side filler panels. Over the winter some of it comes apart to send to ThatKid for powder and millwork. Then i'm done! maybe....
Whats on the bike?
90 FZR400 frame
