Anywho, it's an '88 fzr 750 that I picked up for the equivilent of 300 bucks about 6 months ago. In short, it was pretty f*ck up. For example, there was no rear brake. Just the stay that'd been broken off to act as a spacer. There were also sticks electrical taped around the throttle cables for god knows what reason.
It had also been painted black from front to back in an effort to 'fighter' it.
If the previous-previous owner is a member here, I'm sorry but you're a dumb f*ck. No two ways about it.
Hence the reason for the name fail fighter.
Moving on, we'll be using the tank, front end, rear sets and rear end from a '93 zx7 that I picked up for next to nothing.
The tail is from an '08 r6 and is a solo race tail.
The shock is off an '05 z1000, and is NOT a bolt in affair, in case you were wondering.
Here's what she looked like when we started. Unfortunately I don't have many photos uploaded at the moment, but I'll fix that soon enough.
My buddy Justin is just holding the tail so we could see what it'd look like. the tank is off a '93 zx7 I picked up for parts.
Inverted front end off the same bike.
and a shot with the front end mounted/subframe started. The subframe's made out of .069 wall .75in tubing, if anybody cares.
And here's how she sits at the moment. The exhaust will be shortened to just behind the rearset, radiator is being relocated to the tail, and the zx7 rearsets will be adapted in place of the stock ones.
As it sits, it feels a TON lighter after ditching the bars, front end garbage, stock subframe, seat, etc. I hope it doesn't get much heavier as I reinstall the radiator and such.

I'll be updating THIS thread, but I spend a bit more time over there, and, given my internet situation, it's hard to update two threads. Lol.
