To compliment my FZR600 front end...

[makenzie71]

In the end this is what I ended up with:





















My chain is about 2mm off...I'm having a spacer cut for it today...just have to keep my ride time tame until then.

I did have to put some shims behind the upper strut bolts, but they're long enough to be more than accommodating with my shocks. I also had to bend the push rod on my master cylinder a bit to get it to clear my swingarm, also had to shim my muffler out about 1/4". Only real frustrating thing was a brace for the brake caliper. I ended up drilling and pressing a stud through the swingarm main spar and I tweaked a dogbone from an FZR600 to fit...haven't tried it out. I'm going to go beat on the rear brake here in a bit and see how it holds/stops...I'm probably going to have to do something different, but I guess we'll see.

stupid "10 pics per post" limit...bleh...

Great looking project, keep going - you're creating a very cool machine!

That looks awesome! I'm gonna have to do this someday. Where did you get those brake lights? Way better than an "L" model's brick.

BTW, nice FC.

[makenzie71]

Thanks about the FC lol...four different shades of red, the dash has all the foam peeled off, and the thermal pellet gasket leaks like a sieve...outside of that she's golden lol.

The tail lights are actually generic trailer lights from Wal-Mart...$4/ea.

I love the older Japanese sports cars. Between 1985-1997

Yeah, I saw a whole lot of lights at Wal-Mart and O'Reilly Auto Parts. And they were cheap... I hate my chrome rear fender and that brick of a tail light. I think this may be my solution...

And I assume that those tail lights double as turn signals?

[makenzie71]

If you get a stop/turn integrator you can do it, but at night the lights kind of blend at a distance. They're just stop/running for me...my left arm is my turn signal.

[Flaming Chainsaws]

I see. I'll pick up some lights later. Oops! I totally hijacked your thread. Sorry about that. Love the new wheels and the fat rubber!
