Re: Just bought a 750 FZR
Very very nice, How did you resolve the fairing mounting issue, or did I miss that? Did you fabricate something on the OEM birdcage?

Re: Just bought a 750 FZR
make a fairing insert for the bottom of the tank that goes to the top of the subframe and back under the front of the seat.
then put a black or carbon plate in the space between the two subframe rails to hide the wiring.
looks alot better than I thought it would!
great job!

This motorcycle is dedicated to the memory of my friends Jack. Most of you, probably remember the story....
Many could say that typing a dead man's name on the bike might be a bad luck. Not for me though. I think it's a guardian angel.
Phew piece of art or wot?
The infill I would make onto the front seat foam base and the panel in with the upholstery material.
If I dedicated my bike i would have put it in front, he has after all gone hopefully to a better place before you and sitting on his memory well is just not a way I would remember a pal :-} To each his own is what makes life interesting & far from boring for sure
Re: Just bought a 750 FZR
Thanks a lot George. As for the name's position, i did it that way, cause i saw a lot of bikers doing the same. And because i feel him like an angel (you know, at my back). Anyway, that's my point of view. Thanks again Georgeyamaha_george wrote: Chris,

You are absolutely right. I forgot to mention that. I fabricate a new front mudguard. I'll post some pics on the next days. Thanks for the noteGenesis wrote:Very very nice, How did you resolve the fairing mounting issue, or did I miss that? Did you fabricate something on the OEM birdcage?

Re: Just bought a 750 FZR
Your bike really looks assume. I agree with YG though, extend the front seat forward to close in that space, it will make a nice padded area for your legs to wrap around....... OO wait are we talking about a bike??csofos wrote:You are absolutely right. I forgot to mention that. I fabricate a new front mudguard. I'll post some pics on the next days.

Re: Just bought a 750 FZR

Re: Just bought a 750 FZR
Well shred, i was thinking about the same. I'll make 2 pieces from polyester and place them exactly as you tag in the photo. But this can be done later. Now, i have to do other jobs, like put in function the bike and the electrical systems, plus the koso gauges. I have to make stable the rear brake caliper too. And many other jobs.shredex wrote:here is what i was saying that you could do with that space you need to fill

Thanks for your advise and the photo buddy

Re: Just fix a 750 FZR
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!! The engine never started. I tried soooo many times. And finally i checked the cylindres compression. It was veeeeeeery low!!!! I opened the engine and i saw that piston rings (especially on 2nd and 4th) were off. The valve needed rubbing. All that was good, and something i could easily deal with... untill...... i saw the a crack on the 2nd cylinder. On the upper edge! Damn! Where to find a cylider and who's gonna give you one. And if all these shits have happend far now, imagine what else could be failed in this engine?????? So my opinion is to buy another engine.
I have a question though, and i want your opinion guys:
My fzr 750, as you all know, it's '87 model (similar to '88). Can anyone tell me if the 1000 same years engine fits in the 750's frame? Needing any modifications to fit him in? Someone told me that it fits like a glove. But this is one mans opinion. If anyone has an fzr 1000 '87-'88 model, can he measure the distances where the engine grounds to the frame. Then i'll compare them with my 750's to check what can i do.
