Twins! errr Triplets?

Post by jjs777 »

Here's my '90 FZR1000's. That wheely lasted longer as a snap photo than it did when I took the video! lol<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/113698/" target="top">1990 FZR1000 Bike#1 now w/1040</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/113695/" target="top">1990 FZR1000 Bike#2</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>I came across a mint 95 FZR1000 with just 7900 miles in August '03. I could not resist and just had to have it. The ride is much different than my 90 models. Sharper steering, more rigid suspension, but about the same amount of seat of the pants feel. Actually one of 90's with the V&H PowerPak seems to pull better. We'll see at the track shortly what they will run, as I will have a buddy drive one up as well. <br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/113696/" target="top">1995 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>PS Could've gone with an R1 but there's just something about these now aging 13 year old bikes. What do ya think the designers at Yamaha think when they look back at a bike that they put together so very well ove a decade ago. <p></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: 8/17/04 2:05 am<br></i>

Thx.<br><br>The corbins are different for all three bikes. Both 90's have corbin gunfighters BUT the older saddle is much different than the one I just bought in '03. The '03 model gunfighter is simply awesome, as I ordered it with super stiff foam padding and all black leather, quality finish and it is a bit wider than the older corbin gunfighter that I have on the other bike making for better seat time. The older one, a bit narrower, but very very comfortable for long rides with soft foam, and they both give great looks as if they have that rear plastic perch piece. I think they make the bike look that much more aggressive.<br><br>The corbin that's on the 95 came with the bike and it is not a gunfighter model (I didn't look it up yet), as it is molded for carrying two in a fair amount of comfort. I don't care for this one, but still better than stock I suppose. I would rather have the gunfighter model that resembles my 90 versions.<br><br>Now I need to come up with a way for a upswept exhaust like chengsr has in the previous posts. I'm gonna try contacting d&d to see if they can fab something for me as I doubt if they have anything that would work off the shelf. Akrapovik is too much money for me, and if I liked it even worse, would have to fit to 'all' the bikes at $895 each. No thx.<br> <p></p><i></i>

In the foreground is the 1990 with a 1040. Finally running good enough for me to go up to the drag strip and see what she'll pull in the 1320 1/4 mile. In the background is my nearly identical stock twin except with a few 95' enhancements.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... rast_3.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... ntrast.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>PS By now you all should tired of looking at 90 fzr1000's.

Don't feel bad John, I used to run a friend with a very stout Buell, He'd just beat me UP in the 60ft. I'd think I was doin really fine to get into the 1.55's and Mario would rip off a 1.42<br>I'd beat him up on the big end but them Sporty motors are bas ass on the bottom end!!<br>Jim <p></p><i></i>
