djcrow22 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here are some pics of the bike. The whole thing is in pieces and spread out through out the shed The beefed up swingarm Holy Smokes! Clarke actually took some pictures! Just busting your balls bro... Even without the motor in it your FZ looks GOOD. From what I can tell you have aftermarket brakes and carriers(manufacturer unknown, maybe Lockheed, carriers may be custom made) on the stock FZ forks. The other set of forks is identical to mine off of a Genesis FZR 1000 '87/'88 with the clip on bars are mounted under the steering head. Both front ends use the same tapered bearings and races. The swingarm appears to be the stock FZ part with the brace welded on and other welding mods for the shock(take some pics of the shock linkage and how it attaches to the swingarm, looks custom and cool to me). The shock itself appears to be laid down a bit, an old racing trick but I can't tell from the pic. The remote reservoir for the shock makes me think it might be a White Performance or even a Fox Shock. The rearset pegs might be custom made. Your Dad obviously could weld aluminum or had someone who could. The swingarm/shock/linkage setup looks custom and the brake carriers and rearsets look handmade. Pretty nice and unique parts. And a set of full rain tires to boot! So remind me, do you want to make your FZ street legal or keep it in race trim as a track day ride or what? Today I'm finishing re-roofing my woodshed where I had the other two FZ's parked. I'll get the silver FZ into the garage today(I promise!) and get started on dropping the motor and teardown. What I'm thinking is I can take pics and measurements of bolts ect and we can identify what you have and then what you're missing. It may take a little while but we'll get your end figured out and probably learn a lot about the motors in the process. Take care, keep the pics coming and I'll be in touch. Kevin PS: Can't tell what you have for wheels, but they are not the FZR Genesis wheels. Get what info you can off of them: size,width ect. They might be Honda VFR 750 wheels, '83-85 vintage...

Cp3 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Also I think Im just trying to return it to race spec like he had it back in the day. I thought the rear sets were custom because when you sit on the bike they seem pretty high. and Im trying to figure out where the resivor for the fox shock was held in place because right now it just hangs there...

Clarke, How are you doing? Just wanted to say hi and see how school/work is going. Things are good here although I've been sick off and on for a month! Bronchitis and colds... just won't go away.
