Posted August 3, 201113 yr This my FZR1000. As you can see, it's totally standard apart from braided hoses, polished frame, black screen, and some god awful shitty blue handlebar end weights. Which I removed and threw away. Oh yeah, he fitted mini inicators too. They were only push in cheapos that the previous owner fitted, so weren't actually weights as such. There's no extra vibration through the bars though, but I can now get through smaller gaps!!
August 5, 201113 yr Author Cheers guys, I'm debating whether or not to put a race pipe on it. I love the sound of them, but I'm also loving the ability to open it up without every copper hearing it when I give it some. Decisions, decisions........
August 8, 201113 yr Nice FZR! You could try a can with a removable baffle, loud pipes may save lives but they can attract a lot of unwarranted attention!
August 11, 201113 yr Author Nice FZR! You could try a can with a removable baffle, loud pipes may save lives but they can attract a lot of unwarranted attention! You can't put a can on a 1 piece exhaust. I know all about loud pipes, I've been riding 31 years. LOL.

August 11, 201113 yr Get the new can on it and set off some car alarms! I used to love that going through the centre of Kendal!!! Shouldn't have the damn things set on such a sensitive level
June 11, 201212 yr Sadly, it did not look like this when i brought it, around 2000 miles later, 01-05-2012 Exhaust = rotted disk pads = stuffed all round fork seals = well leaking tyres = knackered rear suspension linkage = making bad noises body panels = various cracks, scrapes, been droped on LHS with bits broken off screen and generally neglected charging system = dead overall = very run down it is amazing how this bike was transformed in such a short period of time brought as spares or repair as found pictures here http://s1121.photobucket.com/albums/l506/StuartWags/
June 14, 201212 yr Very nice bike, my dad had one when i was little. Id keep it stock personally, bit of a classic now.
