hello all, just picked up this very sad, but running fzr1000... i plan on making her a standard, upright bars, different tail section and headlamp. nothing to crazy and not an all out streetfighter, just a standard motorcycle like my gs1100's and 1150's i've had before. so far i managed to get the throttle working, bleed the clutch, was out of fluid and had moisture in it. ordered this exhaust http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAC-4-In ... 2a12256703

got it for 189.00 shipped

needs all brake pads and the rear m/c overhauled... basically i have a long list and rebuild ahead of me, but thats what winter is for. should be a fun hooligan bik when she's done.

think the new exhaust is cool as ron
i have something similar on my 89 r these systems without the exup valve in are a real pain in the ass to set up the correct running of the engine
sure its gonna look the dogs bollox when youve finished it
good luck and welcome to the forum

thanks guys, ordering a dynojet stage 3 jet kit and k&n filters next, no air box. i paid 500.00 for it and have a 1000.00 budget for my winter rebuild... we'll see how far that gets me. i'll post pic's as progress is made.

my other yamaha i race every weekend, 08 yz125.

in Ron and good luck with the project.

Make sure you take plenty of before and after pictures while you're doing it.

I agree, welcome to the fun house, and plenty of pics please, just apologise to Stig in advance

Nice base to make a start from, nearly all the expensive bits are there.

And mines a pint of Nelsons Revenge please
