chrisexup's exups

[chrisexup]

Hello all, here's my fzr1000r



1040 wiseco, tony scott gas flowed head, stage 1 dynojet, K+N filter

quick action throttle, vfr clutch m/cylinder with adjustable lever

zx7-r rad

removed fans, oil cooler, horn, std clocks... i went through a bit of a phase, you know how it is. Extra performance at NO COST! Yay! Do i really need a rear brake fluid reservoir? Naah, bin it, that's saved a few grammes.... what can i say i was young and foolish then, not like i am now (old and foolish before you lot pipe up )

R1 calipers/ master cylinder, stealth discs

Dave Parkinson modded suspension, forks pushed up through yokes

owo1 seat unit on one-off sub-frame, custom rear light/indicators

yzf 750 race fairing (ex team loctite)

crash bungs (used twice so far, brill invention)

gsxr250rr headlight, carbon mirrors, Elliot tacho, SPA speedo

.......it looks shabby but it works just fine, or at least it did before i started cannibalising it for the 400/1000 i'm building. Slowly.

my last 400/1000;



Chris.

Hi Chris,

I remember seeing the black n yellow exup on Craigs FZR pages and thinkin - LOON

1040exup

[chrisexup]

...charmed i'm sure

Not a loon, more of a muppet, actually

[bazza]

knew i'd seen it somewhere before, just couldnt put my finga on it

[Stig]

Phew, that 400 looks just like a mobile enjin....totally dwarfs the bike mate...bet it was well rapid

[chrisexup]

Yes, that's the picture Craig scanned for me.

The 400/1000 was quick, but not scary. The heavier motor moved the CoG well forward so the front was always planted (unless otherwise directed by the rider of course )

I never did get the rear suspension 100% though, despite trying different shocks, ride heights, linkages and tie bars.

This time however i've found an engineer who is clued up on suspension and he can fab a new custom linkage, hoorah!

All i need now is the plenty of time and money...
hmmmmmm, i see a flaw in the plan. Wonder when the spring will be back in my flexible friend

That there phone number has a familiar area code. You local to Crewe or Nantwich?

[chrisexup]

I'm a dabber now living in Crewe, where are you?

[leo432green]

are you going for the 3tj frame chris? by the way, hows it going mate?
leo

[chrisexup]

I've got the 3tj frame, and once i've refurbished the exup front end that's going in. The rear has a braced ThunderAce arm in.
i need some spacers/mounts fabbing, can anyone recommend someone that's capable and not too expensive?

I got a bit distracted on the engine front by a cheap low mileage yzf750 engine.
I was going to put my exup top end on it, but i've never tried the 750 so i'm now sourcing running gear for it.
These ebay "bargains" are going to be the ruin of me!
How long now before you come round for a brew? Spring's getting closer
Chris.

[leo432green]

soon as the mot man says yes next sat
need to go and finish a few fiddlie bits over this next week very injoyable when its just the small jobs

[Yoda]

Same here mate. Used to live near Reaseheath now residing in railway town. I hadn't seen any others about, so thought I was the only one in these parts.

[chrisexup]

my exup's been SORNED since last summer so you wouldn't have seen me out on it
i've been using the Aprilia, maybe you've seen me around on that?

Chris

[chrisexup]

Locally i've seen a purple and yellow r, a red/white ru, and an r with unpainted yzf750 race fairing on, are any of those you Yoda?

Leo, i'm glad you're enjoying the twiddly bits
i was impressed by your positive attitude the other Sunday, i'd have been right , if not
Your timing's worked out about right, too. I've heard it's going to rain for a week, so the roads should be salt free and a bit warmer when you're up and running
Chris.

[leo432green]

hope so. be nice to stretch its legs a bit, they always seem to settle in on a long journey been out working on cars this morning, soaked but like you say, the roads need to be washed
