Plastics are mounted for good? From what I can see they are and looks outstanding.
thanks! the bike look pretty nice the performance quite ok except the uncomfortable rider seat. been riding it last few days for a hundred miles. stop 3x to feel free my arse from pain. i think this because the seat is wider than the fzr ones. or i may be riding all the time in order to used to it.

been searching over the net. on how to mount the r6 engine on the fzr 400 frame but NIL. there will be a refabrication( do it yourself )to the r6 engine mounts. machining. best ideas..replacing the frame could be more expensive than buying a 2008-09, used-raven r6 engine.
