THE FZ-R1 600 project Version 2.0
Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 7:18 pm
I want to start off saying I am recently new to this site and street bikes in general, Many of my friends own street bikes and I used to race and ride dirt bikes but that's about it. I saw Shredex's bike on Craigslist and loved it. I wanted to buy it so bad but It never worked out. But its all good i'm going to hopefully try and fill his shoes and start on my own fzr to r1 conversion. I am finding it difficult to find r1 parts for a bargain though. Ok this is the bike I put a deposit on today.------->
It's a 1993 yamaha Fzr 600 with no title. It has a street fighter style headlights and front fairing, a stage 2 jet kit pod filters instead of the airbox. I paid $470.00 for the bike it runs perfect and its fast!
But im going to have to spend another 250 to acquire a title from this tow company or i found a frame with title for $120.00 I was going to try to paint the frame black also so it might be better to get the separate frame and paint it and then transfer all the stuff. Idk But yeah I found r1 fairings heres the list price that the guys asking---> I've got both left and right upper and lower fairings for the 04-06 year R1. The left side is ready to go top and bottom. No cracks, rash or broken tabs. Paint is custom so it may not match the factory burgendy if thats what you're wanting. (Not sure though) Right side Upper has rash, but no cracks or broken tabs. Lower is same minus the rash. No major damage but has scuffs. All intact though. ( i do have a second lower one that has a broken tab and rash, ill throw that in for free if you buy the other one)
Ill break them down individually, but if you;re interested in all we'll work something better out.
Left Upper - 65
Left Lower-50
Right Upper- 44
Right Lower (good one) (Black one)- 50
Right lower with damage- Free with purchase of other, or 10 alone.
This is for the 04-06 year R1, not sure if it will fit other years or not. Tail piece is primered black and has all tabs. No cracks gouges or rash. Pretty much just needs to be scuffed and painted. 60 OBO.
I think i might be able to get him down alittle, but should i hold off? I want to have money left for the r1 fork swap and headlights and sub frame. Any first thoughts? Suggestions? Am I beginning on the right foot? Thanks guys.

But i want a little newer end also with a bitch seat. 
But cool that it already has a r1 end.
He's a pretty good dirt bike rider but he seemed so nervous riding that bike I didn't want him to burn up the clutch but its probably fine. I think it was me being pariniod about my new toy.. 
But,I am going to change out all the fluids tomorrow, I also started thinking about it I have some forks in my shed I am going to measure them and hope they fit and look good. All for now peace 
Srry for no pics didn't have cam,.. but it looks damn fine in the garage with all the dirt bikes
