So I finally got round to dismantling Fugly.
Managed to shear one exhaust Flange bolt and had to get the angle grinder to the bolt holding the rear brake cylinder but the rest went pretty well.
I've no idea about the rear shock so I just popped it off and greased the pivot sleeve. It take it it's not supposed to be finger-loose? I had to use a wrench to turn the adjuster?
Next I have to strip the matte black paint off the swingarm, grease it and re-fit, then clean and grease the rear wheel.
I've taken the old sub-frame off and will stick on the new one too. Then can stick my new can on Very Happy
Someone is sorting me out with the plastics, lights, front subby and clip-ons so all I really need are some random bolts and a new front master cylinder.
All that's left then is the re-spray and to get a proper rad.
Might change the engine too, but I'm not that clever.
And I know my work space is a little messy but it's only 4' wide and I'm a big lad Very Happy

Sorry dude, it's gone in a trade for fairing panels and the rest of the bits I need.

Stripped the swingarm, mostly.
The fairings (cheers Bri) and exhaust have arrived too \o/!! I'm so excited I did a little sex-wee.
Hopefully she'll be together by Sunday, then I can whip the fairings off for paint again next week.

That trip rear end really does work on the gix. The fit is a little off though, but i'll ignore that Whistle

This FZR could turn out to be really cool!

Well I'll be buggered. I don't look on this site for a few weeks and find that someones returning this rat back to standard!!!

Hmmmm...... well I'm the one who cut the decals on that thing. It was designed on the previous owners plan to put chevrons all around the frame looked quite nice even if I do say so myself.

Its no easy task to convert that back so hey if thats what you like, fair play for much effort!

Be cool to see how it turns out
