started playing with the old fz a couple of weeks ago, i got the 'what are you going to do with that thing' bit !
bought a yzf tank of krazyneil which ment cutting the frame and rebraceing it a bit

then i thought i would put the battery under the tank where the airfilter was, going to have it the other way up !

there is a lot of room under there, so i am going to put my electrics there, ontop of the battery on a plate, including a new fusebox, and mount the coils under it

then roadhog said he had a rear end for sale of his gennie, yzf750 all done to fit his frame which has the same dims as the fz750, that was 6 months ago, finaly got it yesterday, complete with blue spot conversion and hugger

might need a little jiggerypokery chain is a bit close swinger , i might space front sprocket and 530 chain it

next job this lot

thats tdm900 yolks with exup forks and a hagon z750 shock fz750 2mg with 911 conversion exup carbs, dynojet stage 3
was thinking of useing an r6 seat and tail unit

got some work to on the house for a week but will update when i do some more

I would turn the battery round if it was me, just spin the lower bracket and pop it underneath type thing to give the terminals more room at the top...they might be sealed but they still have fluid in them.

Looking good though very neat job.

The battery lies flat on its side on my R1 so I doubt it would make any differance turning it round.

Is that how its meant to be mate? I topped one these batteries up with a little distilled water and saved it, I still have it in use. It only has little black rubber covers over each cell and i would trust it on its side to be honest. The electrolite soaks into like a white felt type stuff around the plates and i think makes a gel but its still acid and if it got hot I am not sure I would trust it.

i hate wiring ! no not realy get a bit of satisfaction when you hit the switch and it works

thats a fazer headlamp unit with all the shit carved of ( be brave, only 100 quid ! )
with the indicators wired into the sidelight fittings and the sidelights put in the nose, the amount of pix i had to take just to get a shot with the indicator on

R6 seat unit came today so when i have got this lot sorted i will start on that

Looking good mogster, isn't wiring fun.

Getting it to work is good, but it's when you take it apart again to neaten it up that the fun starts

Keep it up, the headlight looks good

oh and R6 seat unit

That's what I fitted, can I sue for copyright infringement?
