Looks like it is coming along, looking good nice job on the tail. theres a good writeup on the shock install in the wiki. And I think someone just installed those gauges. You might do some looking.

Tell me how well the gear indicators work after you install them. I'm thinking of getting them but, haven't seen or heard of anyone using them.
Looks very nice, btw. Post some pictures after you're done!

Any updates on this build, I am watching with eager anticipation, since my build is stalled.

Is that a direct replacement gauge? Where can I find one of those? I was thinking about the r6 swap but buy the time you buy the gauge, sensor, wiring and speedo healer it just doesn't make sense to me.

Not trying to hyjack the thread but, the r6 gauge is not that bad, but I would recommend the r1 instead, the RPM's match better.

No place to put frame sliders on an FZR so don't waste your money buying them. Also, fiberglass, plastic and bondo combined is just asking for trouble. Fiberglass really doesn't like to stick to plastic and bondo doesn't really like to flex or it cracks. I wish you luck, but you have a trifecta of bad right now. I know from trying to fix some OEM fairings with fiberglass patch panels. didn't last long. Maybe, and this is a big one, if you drill through the fiberglass and plastic and let the resin seep through the holes and add a small amount of fiberglass cloth on the underside, you can keep it together. I got really good at plastic welding though because of this situation.

What do you think of the lever quality once they arrived ?
Did you not find the grips were a very hard plastic and were uncomfortable after a longish ride.?
I would be interested in your gear position indicator revue if you fancy doing a write up.

Can you strip and repack the Yoshi ? The YZF one looks like it's on the way out .

Bet you cannot wait to be rid of all that snow.

Forgot to add; lots used to swap sides with the micky mouse mirrors ; you get a lot better view. :thumbsup:
