The Black bike the JJS posted also has different forks. Anyone else notice? Anyone know what forks they are? <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">There are some who call me........Tim?</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:white;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">Director of Entertainment <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://eddieandthecruisersmc.com" target="top">Eddie & the Cruisers</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">1994 FZR 1000</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>

I think it's a gsxr1000 front end or possibly a R1 front end?<br>Both bikes are very nice<br>mike <p></p><i></i>

Given the 'blue spot' calipers I'd plumb for R1 front end - I got this pciture saved, really like whats been done to it - mods and colour...<br><br>Si <p></p><i></i>

i believe this bike was re-sprayed and sold and was on offer ion ebay for a swap a few months ago,<br><br>resprayed in marlborough - nice job <br>but looked better in the orange personally<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>id love to talk to the original builder of this one,<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>tango Posted: Jan 18 2005, 07:34 PM <br>Group: Members<br>Posts: 30<br>Member No.: 3572<br>Joined: 16-January 05<br><br>"She looks the dogs bo-locks" The bike was a standard FZR1000 when i purchase her off eBay.lve always like the Ducati 916 back end but not that keen on twin cylinders bikes so the next best thing was to build a back end i liked with the front end of a bike i liked.After checking a few measurements i could see the Ducati 916 swinging arm may cause a few problems.<br>Then found a VFR 750 would fit ok without to much work to get it to fit.<br>The exhaust system is a Ducati 916 system i only had to fabricate a 250mm bit of pipework to connect to the FZR headers the exup valve is still fitted.<br>I replaced the old subframe with one from a 916 had to do a small bit of welding to make it fit and the seat unit again Ducati 916 most of it just bolted on <br>The front screen is cut so it sits lower on the fairing the mirrors are VFR400 the rear shock is fully adjustable you can see the control know on the left hand side below he seat and she has a stage 3 dyno kit fitted with filters.<br>But at the moment the engine is out of the bike as the big ends are worn should be back on the road by the end of next week.<br>So if you live in Kent U.K you my see her on the road <br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br> <p></p><i></i>
