Nice 89....one of my favorite schemes....and I like the tires. How do you find those tires for wear and grip ?<br><br>Seems to be raised in the rear...and with USD forks. NICE!<br><br>Your profile says 'my fzrs' - do you have more ? <p>-John<br>95 FZR1000<br>90 FZR1000</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p072.ezboard.com/bexupbrotherhoo ... >jjs777</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://home.comcast.net/~john.stempien/ ... larger.gif" BORDER=0> at: 11/13/04 10:40 pm<br></i>

exupstart those tires are of a retread design...but I believe they are quite decent from reviews that I have seen. I would probably not do a track day on them but all other riding this side of 180mph should be good<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cycletires.com/faqs.htm">www ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p>-John<br>95 FZR1000<br>90 FZR1000</p><i></i>

I have just purchased r1 calipers for my 89. I hope they work better than the six piston? <p></p><i></i>

by all acounts they should work quite well. I have not tried the R1 calipers (fitted to fzr) but I do like the 6 piston very much fitted to my 95 and both 90's<br><br>try searching the yz750 forum for good posts on the 6 piston vs R1/R6 caliper debate. <p>-John<br>95 FZR1000<br>90 FZR1000</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p072.ezboard.com/bexupbrotherhoo ... >jjs777</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://home.comcast.net/~john.stempien/ ... larger.gif" BORDER=0> at: 11/25/04 8:05 pm<br></i>
