As above BUT you will need to modify the bikes loom as the old VR has 5 pins the new ones have six.

You will need to modify the wire harness anyways. The '89 model used a 4 pin VR. The '94+ uses a 5 pin that allows you to plug the newer one right in. I would modify your wire harness and use the newer VR's as they are much better. Check out the Wiki or do a search to find out how. It is really easy.
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....

this is as easy as he makes it sound ... just remember to wear eye protection when your grinding ... metal shards dont tickle when they get into your eye


also on that note if it does happen go to your eye doctor within 2 hours so he doesnt have to scrape the rust off your eye .. cause that shit doesnt tickle either
