Dear Chris,thanks for replying me.I have the same motorbike I bought it here in Slovenia in almost perfect conditions for only 1.600 € ! while it is and will be worth way much more in the next future.Thanks again for Your video.
My pleasure That's really cheap!!! In Australia they worth around $8000 in good condition. I'm trying to find the upside down version but it's close to$10000!!! I found some good ones in Greece really cheap and I might bring one in Australia. Can you sent me pics of your FZR? csofos@hotmail.com
I have an FZR 600 that I was about to donate to science, it may be a project bike now!!! Brilliant work CSofos!!! Oh, and... that Carolina Blue is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing the inspiration!
That looks awesome! I have a 88 FZR 750RU and would love to "update" it like this one. I love pointed rear end. definitely gave me some great ideas! Cheers mate! Chris Sofos
μπραβο φιλε μου!!!!οντως...τα γερικα αλογα δεν τα σκοτωνουν....εχω ενα YZF 750R....το λατρευω και ας μου το κοιτανε με μισο ματι καποιοι..!!να εισαι παντα καλα και να δουμε κι αλλες υπεροχες δουλειες σου!!
+Dale Snyder Thank you! If you have a similar project in mind, I'd encourage you to go with it. Do a lot of thinking before you start, make a lot of images on paper of how you want it and then do it! It'll totally worth it!!!
μπραβο εχω να σου πω ενα πολυ μεγαλο μπραβο εισαι και εσυ ενας φανατικος της παλιας σχολης παλυ πολυ δουλεια εχει το μηχανακι και μονο οσοι εκαναν ξερουν μπραβο φιλε μου αλλα ειλικρινα στεναχωρεθηκα που εφυγες εκει μακρυα Σου ευχομαι παντως οτι καλυτερο επιθυμεις να το βρεις ειναι δυσκολα στην ξενιτια και θα χαρω να δω την επομενη δουλεια σου Καλο κουραγιο και καλη δυναμη οποθ και αν εισαι
Thanks! To be honest... i don't know!!! i just took the fairings and i did it! It was my first job. I asked a few friends how should i do it, but listen on "how to", from dong it, it's a bit different. It wasn't hard though.
good looking bike. love the color and looks like you are running battle axes on it. love that tire. i am on fzronline too. cntryboy85 i am in the middle of a 660 build on my 95. how much modification did you have to do to the fairing mounts and the fairings them selves minus the headlights to get them to mount. i love the way it looks. i have looked a few with the r6 tail and like it but idk. i have also thought about shaving down the tail under the bubble to give it more of a pointed look.
I'm there too as csofos! Actually, there is a post of this bike there. It's called "Just fixed an FZR 750". It's been a couple of years i haven't been posting though. I think it's about time to start doing it again. Well, it took me a lot of hours to find the correct spots for the fairing mounts.Plus that i had to modify the fairings themselves at some point. All i had to do, was to mount them on the bike roughly and go from there. It'll take much time, but it's worth it, trust me!
Excellent job, thank you for sharing it! I was wondering if you could tell us more about the welding technique you used to make the modifications in the frame and also the materials involved in it. Thanks again!
Thanks for your kind words! I used TIG welding. The new frame was originated from a ZXR 400 Kawasaki which I had to remove the passenger's part. The material (of course) was aluminium. Then I had to do quite a few measurements in order to bring it to the correct height and positioning.
+Chris Sofos hi my name is shashi and im from India. I wnt to build my own bike can u help plz............. im confused how to bigin. email me at prasadshashi123@gmail.com
+TX2673XA Can't remember what exactly was the oil, but I do remember that the viscosity was according to the manufacturer's specifications. And I do remember it was semi-synthetic.
Cichy VideoMotoVlog Unfortunately no! I had to do some major mod on the fzr's frame. I had to widen up the frame to the joining point with the swing arm. Also, I had to machine the wheel's chain gear drum, in order to align it with the engine's chain gear.
Πολυ καλη προσπαθεια κ ωραιο το τελικο αποτελεσμα αν κ εχω μερικες ενστασεις για καποιες χρωματικες επιλογες στα περιφερειακα αλλα αυτο ειναι υποκειμενικο. Θελω να σε ρωτησω για το μπροστινο που πηρες απο το 400ρι τα φρενα πως ειναι;;;;;Δεν του πεφτουν λιγα για τα κιλα του;;;;; Σε ρωταω γιατι εγω εκανα ακριβως το ιδιο σε ενα 600ρι FZR αλλα αγορασα ενα R1 κ παρατησα το προτζεκτ κ χαρισα το μηχανακι κ δεν το οδηγησα ποτε κ δεν εχω εικονα πως ηταν τα φρενα αν κ λογικα πρεπει να ηταν κομπλε καθως το 600 ηταν πολυ ελαφρυ. Ευχαριστω εκ των προτερων για την απαντηση.
Χίλια συγνώμη για την πολύ αργή απάντησή μου. Όπως και εσύ, έτσι κι εγώ, δεν το οδήγησα ποτέ γιατί έφυγα για Αυστραλία λίγο πριν το τελειώσω. Έτσι, έμεινα με την ιδέα. Μόλις αγόρασα πριν 2 μήνες ένα FZR 1000 '95 σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση και θα το κρατήσω σε γνήσια κατάσταση.
Use this product. I've done one of my brother's fuel tanks and it never got rusted again. It's amazing!!! www.caswellplating.com.au/store/store.php/products/epoxy-fuel-tank-sealer
Chris Sofos slow but good!! i got her a horn, painted the 2 side ba fairings dark blue, with a shiney clear, and same blue on the tank with sating clear coat. i de rusted the tank with metal rescue, works like a boss!! gave it a blood red seal. its sitting right now for winter, no garage to work in. when its a bit warmer, head gasket and valvr gasket need changed, bubbles be leakin so it tells me there bad, it does it all around. so ima skio a compression check and just change those just incase. i still need to to small uper left and right fairing, and the 2 biger left n right fairings. u can see it here instagram.com/cloudymotovlog needs alot of work, signals aswell. but i got those here. i would still love a professions help sadly the ones who know this bike seem to me thousa.ds of miles from me haha. i need a windshield aswell. i got new tires and will take the rims off when i or a lift or somthing, i will be painting them a brighter red, maybe a powder coat. i may buy new small parts, chain and what not. but she runs ajd works. nothing compaired to your sexy bitch!! hahahaha

Will parts from a 2006yzf 600r yamaha parts fit for my bike for a 1999 yzf 600r yamaha
I don't think they fit.
That being said though you can always do mods in order to fit them. It just takes a few hours and maybe money
