she's ready for a makeover

[remegio731]

about 10% say no and the rest say yes to do some mods to my bike, instead of retaching the make-up in her body. this is why i joined myself here inorder to sip some source and information regarding the how to do some mods.

the other day one of my friend said that i am only destroying the image of my bike instead of restoring it to its original state. but mostly vote to say yes, including me. so i decided myself to do this project and have some fun of interest while making the mods

. by the way, thanks to the guys who were organizing the site and those who are contributing to it.

yesterday i'm only thinking to replace the entire fairings but now i decided to include the rear-end( swing arm, the wheel and tire ) im chosing whether the r1 style or the r6. i know that this is not an easy job but this is my challenge. so heres some pics below stripping down my '89 fzr400. i will just keep posted about the development and upload some pics.
sorry theres an error occured while uploading one of the pics before done stripping, this i have to fix.

there were few parts arrived today the 08 r6 swinger and the front tire fairing. i'll choose the newer version swinger from r6 cause its 1.4cm differ from bothside of the stock frame. so theres no problem to cut out the protruding section base frame. and the swinger has to be remain untouched. i have to post some pics later when its done.

I'd go about getting a new front end for it as well.

[remegio731]

finally the swingarm fitted to the frame. i trimed down about half an inch to free the swinger and the chain, it did perfectly. the tail and the tank were in place as well, although there were few rashes and dents on the tail and esp the tank which repaired easily. here are the pics

what teh hell!
what tank is that? a new R6 tank? and you didnt have to chop up the bottom of it to make it fit????????????????
I had to cut up the bottom of my 04-06 R1 tank to make it fit.

This is going to be an awesome build

Someone get shred some toilet paper hes gonna need it as much thread crappin as he does.

its a '08 r6 tank and i did not touched everything on it except the side plastic cover. i sand it a few mm. shape it to the frame and fit. i dont know on the r1maybe its wide or deep for the fzr frame? ive been lucky the r6 tank is wider on the top than in bottom and its floating, plenty space between the tank and the engine only on the airbox you have to trim or swap individually this i have to work after 3 days.
