Coming along nicely for having to go to a friends shop to work on it. Can't wait to see the bike with all the fairings on it. Have you figured out a tail to use yet?
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

Yea, i really don't like FZR's naked, I love the side fairings, and the single headlight.

Tail wise i'm really not sure. I guess I've decided not to keep her stock tail until I get it up and running for a while. Thinking of going with the poor mans integrated tail<---anyone know how well that works for the stock tail?

I still like to think I'm gonna do the 99-02 r6 tail as much as it may be played out.... I think it's the best looking on the fzr, especially with the larger tire.

So i was gonna follow the wiki VR mod.... when i noticed how much more complicated it is than it needs to be....

here is my simple way....And i'm only posting up pictures b/c i just wrote a whole write-up for it, and then my computer crashed!!! AHHH!!! wow that really pissed me off..... anyway here is the final product, I used the STOCK mount points, so no drilling or cutting needed! Just splice the stock wires, crimp on some felmales and a 1/4" ring connector and a longer ground screw, and BOOM your done!

Cut off my sidebars on the tail and put the front sprocket on. The bolt idea is perfect to keep'r on....

Well, she's ridable!!! I took it around the block today and it feels SOOO nice, need to tweak the carbs a little, but who doesn't....
Yesterday we sync'd the carbs and bled the brakes.
Today we finished up the exhaust and hooked up the gas tank. I also had to boil my velocity stacks again to get them to fit over the carbs...
Now I guess it's on to cosmetics!
I'll get more pics, but these are from yesterday....

Find yourself a radial front master cylinder from an 07 R6 to better compliment those YZF calipers...you'll thank me later...otherwise good progress you are making on the bike.
