Thats a shame, i thoguht the little 'switch' between the two red dots (Idiot lights?) was the ignition on
Gutter.
I quite like the bike though... I reckon the rear wheel orange is really nice and would go very nicely alongside a blue and white paint scheme.
I Love the front end, I prefer the marzocchi front ends having come from mountain biking (Although i dont know how motorcycle ones handle) and that digital clock tidies it up really nicely.
I reckon speed triple headlights, raised rear end and make a flyscreen of some description would add just that little extra to the bike Although a single round headlight may look nice too!
I personally want a crash damaged zx7r to fighter before i go to uni...
Quite fancy an MV rear end (Maybe a single seat) and cans, single sider rear, Uprated gearing for even better acceleration, perhaps try and change the tank, drag bars....

So kinda ohlins fakes!!
Slight mod needed to fit the bluespot calipers, (R1 etc plus many others)
Brembo brake discs (ducati etc)
R1 clip-ons (see i havent just fitted renthals and said "theres my fighter")
There's quite a lot of parts on it that arent on a standard YZF.
I knew i shouldnt have said streetfighter!
I know it's a long standing debate
In my eyes it is a streetfighter.

The SP forks are the same ones as fitted to all yzf's from 94 onwards. They have adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping. The 93 model didn't have rebound damping on the front.
The gold anodising looks pretty good. Quite fancy getting mine done. The bluespot calipers is a pretty common mod. Still got the originals on mine though.
Your seat unit is off an SP I notice. Is the bike an SP or an R?
What happened to the fairing?
Have you still got the standard downpipes/exup set up or have you junked that? Hard to tell of the pics. |

A few questions for a man who will know
which swingarms will fit on this bike (other than 750 0ne as i cant find one anywhere)
Also which forks will fit straight in, any help would be great mate thanks alot |
good luck with the build, good taste in bikes mate!
Erm, as far as i can work out, the fzr1000 exup + RU should fit without too much hassle, probably need complete with wheel etc though.
And maybe change of spindle sleeve and end caps? (swingarm pivot point) my swinger was previously fitted to an fzr750 genesis.
yzf1000 thunderace may also go in fairly easy?
R1 forks have the same diameter to fit in yzf750 yokes, i think, they maybe somewhat shorter so may affect ground clearance n handling,
think you'd need the R1 front wheel then though, and that has no speedo drive.
fzr front ends should fit without major hassle also.
spose it depends on which parts you already have, how much you want to spend and whether you're prepared to modify stuff.
Any front end could be made to fit with a steering stem swap.
For advice, parts and a good laugh try www.Exup1000.co.uk
is where i am usually a lot of em know far more than i do.
Cheers
Steve

Been a very long tme since ive updated this,.
There was some changes/progress over the past year, in between riding both for fun and commuting.
Pictures speak louder than words!
First i flipped the clipons. Some work required to re-fit all the controls as can probably guess.
Due to a slight mishap with a low speed highside.
one replacement clipon fitted and carbon frame covers to hide a battle scar.

Around summer a change of headlight.
https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01144.jpg
Rear was off for more paint.
Shortened the can a little.

https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01130.jpg
Stuck this on the rear wheel.
Ties in with my Jager test tube tax holder
https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01138.jpg
Decided i wasnt that convinced with the change to a single
bates headlight.
I had a Simpson headlight kicking around for ages.
Got it cheap as one of the lenses and reflectors was damaged from heat.
Got to work on that, stripped out the old units.
And fitted the ones from the earlier fitted twin spots.
Won't go into the process too much but here's how it went.

https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01399.jpg
Bought some ally flat to make my own headlight brackets.
Got a spare set of forks (stanchions pitted) to shape the ally around.
Cut an old piece of rubber from a silencer strap to use as
dampers/grippers for inside the fork brackets.

https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01386.jpg
After some time, eventually got it fitted and wired up.
Have since fitted the led strip i used to have under the twin spots for the parking light.
Rear had been put back on with the last headlight change
after it's paint rework, still aint perfect but ok.

https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01403.jpg
Last thing i decided to do, was to add some paint to the front mudguard.
Keeping in with the jagermeister theme.
Made my own template of the jager deers head logo.

https://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/h3llr4iser/YZF%20750/DSC01439.jpg
Silly really, as just after this was done, i bought a carbon front
mudguard, yet to be fitted though.
So hears how it stands now.

Will be fitting a different tail unit before Spring, starting this weekend hopefully.
Hope you like!

i like fighters, and im sure you could call it that,
but to start with i wasnt a fan of the twin lights and was glad to see you'd changed to a single headlight,
i don't mind the one you have on there now, but still prefer the single,
i absolutly detest the tail, itsthe thing that really changes a bike and is the difference between a fighter and a crashed bike with a different headlight,
if you like it then really thats the main thing, buti'd rather have no tail and just a single seat with no plastics than that terrible thing.
each to there own..
keep it up,
a fighter is a progression, after all ____________________ the humans are dead
