thats all I can think of right now. I'll add more later as I remember them and as I finnish mods and can tell better how much they actually cost. there is other cost for modifications that I have not got around to making yet. like the custom rear LED blinker/running/brake light assembly.

thus far total cost is $1564
before







there is still allot to be done. engine and frame need paint, electronics need reloacted, frame and swinger are yet to be braced and the gixxer wheels and brakes have yet to be fitted. but I think it looks Sick thus far

more pics from today. they didn't turn out very well... kept on washing out with the backround.

I finnished removing every bracket that I could possibly do without from the frame. gonna get it bead blasted this week, then to the welder, then paint.

I am also degreasing the engine and painting it this week (hopefully). then everything will get reassembled for the 3rd and final time.

and the last pic is of the custom grips I am making, the other one isn't complete yet. anybody want a set of custom grips? pm me, all proceeds go to this build

engine is re assembled and painted. finnished wending the frame this morning, decided to forgo the gussetting until a later date. I want to figure out what (if any) motor I will be putting in this thing before I decide where and how much to brace the frame.

the frame is getting painted as we speak. as soon as it is dry I will begin assembly. and guys, it will look sick.

 

[fslflint]

it looks great guys. now I just gotta get it running.. will get pics up asap

 

[Candyman]

You need to get that thing running soon man, so we can meet up at QS&L. I'll be up there in the next few weeks to showcase the new paintjob

love the tail section

 

[BMiller]

That pic makes the seat/tail look soooooo sick compared to stock:

:knucks:

 

[fslflint]

IT RUNS!!! and sounds absolutly mental. I cut down and rewelded the original can but it sunds absolutly awesome with just the baffled pipe.

gotta bleed the front brakes and get the gauge situaltion figured out. it took a while to get it to fire up but I finnally got it.

Sweet, it's coming together very well! I really like the tail section/seat/undertank covers.

 

[fslflint]

Looks like this beast will be in my garage again next week. Havnt worked on it in a year and a half. I'm excited

 

[ThatguyDave]

Reminds me of the FZ600 I like an idiot junked years ago. Great looking tanks on those bikes. Your tail is certainly a significant improvement though.

 

[Scrapyard]

Well that's cool. So which project are you gona finish first?

 

[fslflint]

The fz is actually pretty close to running so ill probably fix the wiring, redo the subframe and slap the fox shock back in and ride it as it sits.

Oh yah, and rejet the carbs. Possibly check the valves

 

[fslflint]

Well, I got someone interested in buying it up in pa. So it might not be coming back with me. Hopefully I can sell it so I can buy a mill and/or lathe
