Posted February 19, 200817 yr Hi guys, here's the finished item! As I said in an earlier posting I purchased the FZ1 new in Aug 07 and had her re-sprayed before Xmas as I wanted it in black but there were no more left in the UK. I then added a few after markets goodies: Gilles rearsest, Beowulf can (with gold logo added), Powerbronze hugger, belly pan and Eliminator tail tidy, gold Renthal bars and 47 tooth rear sprocket (black), gold DID chain, Probolt engine kit, Motrax mirrors and Yamaha fly screen. I also painted the top yoke and brake caliper pots myself. Have a look at the before & after pics below to see the transformation.
February 20, 200817 yr WoW!!!!!! What a transformation, looks so much better, black and gold go so well together in my opinion. Great job and great looking bike.
February 20, 200817 yr Author Makes me wonder why Yamaha can't do that! Thanx for your comments guys. I certainly agree wiv Yoda, I'm not exactly a design engineer, I'm just someone wiv a good eye for nice bikes so if I can do it I'm sure Yamaha could! They did so wiv the 2006 R1 SP as it had some really nice touches and they sold like hot cakes. Would be nice if they could do that more often.
March 10, 200816 yr Hi mate, your bike looks great well done. One point as I just got an FZ1 a few weeks back and was thinking of adding a yam flyscreen, it looks good but how effective do you find it?

Hi Rossi, I don't find it any different at all to be honest, the handling is just the same but cosmetically for what it is it does add a completely enhanced look to the front end.

Yeah, I went and got one in anycase but you're right, looks the part but adds little in protection, still it looks good eh here's a pic of mine

I was wondering what you used to paint the caliper pots.
