Here's two pics more. front rear

To be continued.. The VFR clipons didn't fit, or they did but the brake fluid container didn't. Bit hard to explain. Installed motocross bars instead. Here's a few pics http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/P4170009.JPG (Here you can also see something that resembles YZF750SP, that's cterror's machine) http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/P4170005.JPG http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/P4170008.JPG

http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/P4130004.JPG Flipping the bars wasn't a good idea (The riding position is awful, too much leaned forwards and it is a total wrist-killer). Hope that those VFR clip-ons do a better job or i'll have to settle with the original bar right way around.

W0w. Nice bike, nice colours. More images of that bike can be found here

Here's a bit better picture of the tail. Still taken with cell phone. Next week i'll get my digicamera back so expect to see better quality pictures.

That i have to figure out. Propably i'll fit it to forks so that it'll turn along with them. Or i could use the original mounting point so that the light wouldn't turn. The parts for the first option are available in any bike part shop so maybe i'll go with that.

Yep, yep. Here's the headlight. http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/AAAA0138.JPG And a powerbronze tailguard: http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/AAAA0137.JPG Indicators found their place http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/Image(338).jpg Sorry 'bout the shitty quality pics. http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/k2eerola/wip/Image(337).jpg

Just had a crazy idea while browsing the ace cafe london website. I'm gonna get a 7" round headlight and suitable handlebars and try some cafe racer -look now that the bike is nowhere near ready, and how could it even be when i have no idea whatsoever what "ready" means.. We'll see, we'll see. (At least i have a garageful of different spare parts for that bike afterwards)

Well, i'm not quite pleased with it yet, i need some kind of inner fairings to that thou fairing. Looks ugly when you can see all the wires. Also that rear light panel should look nicer. I'm planning to order an undertray from Powerbronze, the one with recessed twin lights. At least it is rideable on thursday.

Now the fairing has found its place. Next thursday my season begins, and i had not time to finish the Ducati tail. http://www.iki.fi/keerola/wip/

Here's few pics of the front fairing to become:

Here's a bit different R1

I like these colours, a bit 'vintage'

Maybe grey. Dark grey. Matte. Friend of mine has an airbrush so maybe we'll try something with that.

Some pictures about fitting the FZS1000's (a.k.a FZ1 in the States) fairing. http://www.iki.fi/keerola/wip from page 3 onwards.

You can follow the progress in http://www.iki.fi/keerola/wip I'll be updating it as there's something to update it with. Bought a 99-01(?) FZS600 fuel tank and front fender from some Suzuki, now i can respray the whole bike without having to worry about getting it to match perfectly the original color and i can spare the original parts if i ever sell that piece of shit. I'm thinking flat Gun Black or flat Gun Gray, whatever the name is.

My intentions are that it has to be ready on April 1st (can't ride it before because of weather- and by god i'm not gonna ruin the short season by building it instead of riding) Well, not much work left but there's no rush. I'm gonna finish that undertray maybe today. Will see how it ends up, hope i'll remember to take my digicam with me.

Hi you all, although pictures of my bike are shown in 'my trusty old steed' -topic, i figured i'll start a thread of my own because i didn't want to flood some other guy's thread with my blahblah. Well, as said, pictures of my bike's condition can be found at http://www.iki.fi/keerola/wip and some earlier pictures at http://www.iki.fi/keerola (i strongly recommend opening the links on my page in a new window or else you are forced to look at my ugly face all the time) [edit:fixed that 'ugly face' thing] After taking those pictures i've managed to make an undertray which still has no place for reg.plate or taillight but they're on their way. I've also purchased a fazer thou's fairing, it has no frames for the windscreen so i can use a lower one. Here's a sample pic of such fairing equipped with a low windscreen. http://hayabusa.bikepics.com/yamaha-fz1-03...pics-050168.jpg I'll be posting pictures to my page as the project advances. Oh yeah, i forgot to add a list of modifications. - Hebo Granada front 'fairing' (similar to Gas Gas enduro model ones) - Ducati SS900 rear bodywork (race model) - custom blinkers (front ones are from a GasGas Enduro) - clear-lens LED taillight - MX handlebar - small mirrors - Sigma bicycle speedo (original is not in use - maybe i'll use it if i'm going to fit in the fzs thou's fairing) - Mivv end can, oval carbon - 1 down front sprocket (i'm gonna fit in 14-50 vs the original 15-48 and use 520 chain instead of original 530, with tougher chain of course) Modifications to become: - FZS1000's fairing - removal of pillon pegs - head pipe polishing - new footpegs and reversed gearbox - Suzuki ???? front fender - Respray
