Great to see she's nice and cosy in your garage there!
I'll keep my trap shut but it'll be great when you get those mods underway. :cool

I ended up selling it to a very dedicated new FZR fanatic in South Australia. He's absolutely loving it and i'm sure it went to a good home. I don't think he's on these forums but he is on the FZR250 forums. He knows about the brotherhood so maybe he's lurking around here somewhere. Well since the F...

:hissy :hissy that's not so good to hear. Hopefully it's not tooooooo long. It could happen to any one of us :sad At least you live in a good location for bicycling. I'd have to get a new job if that happened to me. Ah, it only happened due to a momentary act of stupidity and a lapse of judgement; ...

For those clips i actually just used a ghetto rig and attached my Nokia 6280 to the Y-support that goes from the tank to the fairings. I whipped it up out of some black electrical tape i had in the boot of the bike one afternoon when i was up in the hills and the roads were quiet. I'll definitely be...

any chance you have a write up as to how you fit that tail on there? There are a few write-ups around as to how to do a subframe and tail graft onto a different bike. In this case the whole CBR954 subframe and plastics were used and mounted using some rigid stand-off's which were welded onto the CB...

Well that video was a mild pass through that section of the Black Spur as the roads had quite a bit of slime and grime on them. In a few sections you might notice the bike stands up a bit quicker than it should; well thats the rear end finding grip again. :oops: ;) Some great memories though! On tha...

One last hurrah for my FZR... (with lots of pics)

Well it's come time to now actively sell my beloved FZR1000. A few people have expressed some interest in it and one member of the FZR250.com forum is actively looking at it, but i thought i'd just post a couple of photo's of it as a bit of a nostalgic look at what you can do with a bit of time & ef...

I can't seem to wear out my Pilot Powers (!) Very happy with the Powers BTW +1...the traction in the tire usually goes away before you can wear out the tread...so, you kinda have to watch it if you have alot of track time on them...other than that, they are the best tires i've run to date...i've be...

What happened to tyre pliers and a couple of blocks of wood?!
Yeah it takes a bit of muscle but it's cheap and if you do it yourself carefully you won't scratch the rim at all.
Also, balancing can be done using a couple of milk crates and the stock rear axle.

Hey Guys, I put a FZR250 pump in and alls good now. Cheers :D Theres a certain element of irony in that given that all of the FZR250 fuel pumps that i know of have died and had to have been replaced with other pumps! On my old FZR250 i replaced the fuel pump with one off a Kwaka ZZR600 and it worke...

Thats exactly the look i was going for! Something that looks much much newer but still would have been done by the factory. :D
