 Posted: 19:21 - 20 May 2006  Post subject: FZR 750 Streetfighter (hopefully) |
 |
|
Hi, thought i'd start a topic for my 1987 Fzr 750 (import) i have owned for about a year, and got round to doing jack sh*t to! 
Well actually i have stripped quite a lot off of her!
But enough is enough and this year is THE year! I have decided!
Only paid £200 for it! 
I havent got any photo's from when i first got it!
Well might have on my old mobile,try and post them up if i get a chance.
But since then i have removed the well knackered and sh*te front end and various other parts from it!And sourced an Fzr 1000 (not usd) set of forks for her!The old plan was to use a TZR250 wheel for the front,which was already available to me,was nice with silver painted spokes and polished rim!
But have decided to use an FZR1000 wheel as the TZR had been spaced out and looked a little skinny in the forks! 
And also would have had to make caliper brackets(were almost completed anyway) and the tyre size wasnt to my liking!
Well here's a pic of what she/it looks like at the moment!
I know, not that pretty!

But with some hard work and elbow grease it could come out good!
If you havent noticed, the rear swingarm and wheel is from a YZF 750! And is more sexy than the standard one! Also get better rubber for her!

Lately had a change of plan due to some disheartening factors!
After going on the FZR1000.co.uk (thanks guys) website i found that the japanese import version i own is restricted to 77-80 bhp! 
So for an engine with unknown reliability (only had it fired up not moving) and a high mileage i think i dont want to spend the money or time it takes to de-restrict it!
I would like to hear some people's thoughts on what follows!
 After much thought and umming and arrring, i think this decision could be the answer!
I also own an FZ750 from the same year! that has a lower mileage and better condition engine,better exhaust system,and can vouch for the reliability and performance of the engine!
Basically what i am saying is i am going to take the living breathing fire spitting heart and lungs from this:

And put it into the FZR, will have to look into how it affects the DVLA side of things! 
But from what i can work out the engine should go straight into the frame!
Anyone know any different?
So the engine, carbs ,loom, clocks and exhaust will all be going in!  or  ?
Before people say: NO dont break a perfectly good bike!
I think it's what i really want! If you looked closely at the FZ it also needs a bit of work to keep her roadworthy for the fast approaching mot test!
And can also sell on the spares from it! And besides i have always wanted a streetfighter from as far back as i can remember so this is a more convenient way for me to get one! Also the satisfaction of being able to say "i built that!".
So i shall be back here when i have collected said forks from mates lockup and sourced more parts i need and got to work with the build!
Thanks to bidman for the help on wheel, discs and caliper setup for the Fzr1000 forks!

Hi,
Cheers fot the interest guys,only two so far!
But thanks to bidman and quackerboy!
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
Only a quick update today!
As no actual work done!
I dont think i'm gonna be doing loads of mirror polishing and things like that,and no silly jacked up seat heights! 
Probably be painting most parts! Not gonna be a show winner!
And i want a practical bike out of it!
Gotta keep to a budget! What the amount of this is i couldnt say!
Probably keeping the original look of the back end bodywork,there's something i like about a narrow rear and a fat 180 tyre!
Anyway,have had this for a little while,i got it for £60 and they are £210 new!  Photo from seller so not my house!

Wanted one for ages! Thats the front fairing option sorted!
Just sourced a wheel for the front!
Just been powder coated too ,so gotta wait for that to come through or be collected!
Paid a little bit much for it, but then i wouldve had to pay for stripping and coating etc!
Photo from seller.

Gotta get some work done on this,as wont have a bike to ride till its finished!
So i will get my forks back early in the week, and then some fun can begin! (i hope) Back soon!

, and I'll say that again,
I thought I was brave taking my fairings off to see the body work The theory behind stripping a bike seems simple enough, unbolt and put back together, but I lack the cahooners to do it.
