hey everyone got some picsof my 1987 fz600thanks to goth{thanks goth} this is what it was like, back wheel seized and cant see it but dif colour to the front horrid but mine both mirrors smashed gutted

tried the r1 2002 seat unit to see how it would look

it looks nicer straight away than the mile wide ass it used to have

petrol tank off ,all fairing brackets off, wiring shiffted so i could spray the frame pearl blackpearescent{03}from motorworld lsprayed theheel gaurds but the didnt stand out so bought some wire mesh (again motorworld)and glass fibre compoundsprayed the mesh red(says red24 on can its brightred sprayed the heel gaurds again madeup the glass fibre(1 golf ball size glass fibre to 3 pea size hardener i needed it to set quickly if u not sure add less hardener it gives u more time to make adjustments )pushed the mesh in to heel gaurd and trimmed so looks like this and wen dried def looks better

lifted up on bricks (needed to make sure she was safe no chance of topple)back wheel off i placed wood under swing arm as its softer than metal so wont scratch it underneath after 3 coats of high fill primer4 coats of pearl black(03)and 4 coats of laquer (placed rag on chain so didnt mess it up back wheel ,i have given it wire brush to get rid of the loose paint and stuff 2 coats of high build primer 3 coats pearl black(03)and 3 coats of laquer then on to the chain adjustors look better red and these looking nice now i went over the teeth on the cog so it wouldnt build up rubbish on chain swing arm dry now got rid of the 20 years of crap build up then its all ready to go back together next chain gaurd looking nicer now ,respray of red24 on seat unit and get rid of ugly yellow stripe hope u guys and girls like it so far

thanks for kind comments drewpy

looks good i also have a 87 fz600 and been looking for some ideas, the rear end looks far better with the r1 seat unit on, have you finished the bike yet if not when you have cant wait to see what it looks like,

thanks old timer no not yet finished,i had a r1 front mudgaurd a thundercat tank, r6 swing arm and wheel ,but where all stolen so set back a bit now ,done my carbs what a nightmare getting them off ,took back upper bolts out of rear subframe and let it rest on wheel , cleaned air-box and sprayed mettalic black,ecu red gear rod done started on front end i bought some l plates from focus to extend the r1 fairing bracket ,needed it just off the key point ,any higher and the handle bars caught the bottom of the fairing ,any lower and it was the block oil cover hitting the top of fairing so these where bob on needed some holes drilled but still strong , i swayed the bike on both sides by holding the bracket to make sure it was strong now when i move the bars nothing catches

thanks for putting more pics up nice to see other folks projects and how they are coming along, where in cheshire are
