FZR600
(more pics to come)

89 FZR600 Red/White/Blue
  •     Race tech gold valve emulators (front fork suspension)
  •     Progressive springs
  •     110/70 pirelli dragon front tire (major improvement in feel)
  •     single amber halogen bulb (must bend a prong to get the bulb to squeeze through) kept one bulb white for road safety, the yellow bulb is highly noticable in traffic
  •     ordered two extra bright tail bulbs from Competition Accessories. Worked great but one burned out in 24 hours. Defective? made in taiwan... I put a stock taillight back into it, we'll see how long the other light lasts.
  •     L&P f1 carbon fiber mirrors, these look great, as for visibility it's good and bad. Feels like you can't see as much and the mirrors aren't as true as stock.
  •     Troy Lee dragon kit. Just for cosmetics, to make my bike look less stock.
  •     CR8E plugs, work wonders in cooler climates.
  •     Stage 1 intake kit w/ K&N air filter
  •     Full Kerker exhaust system (I believe these are discontinued)
  •     Solo Seat
  •     LP 1/2 Tank Bra
  •     Smoke windscreen
  •     chopped down rear fender
  •     L&P bar ends in aluminum (these don't fit on normally, they have to be modified)
The current pipe sounds great. The guys from Kerker said they no longer make a K-series for the FZR but they have the race-only K45. In terms of performance, the powerband starts to pull strong at 4K all the way up to 8K. At 8K it insanely fires forward all the way to redline. Due to the changes in the exhaust and intake, the previous owner dropped the front sprocket so the power was more usable. Top speed dropped from the stock 150 something to about a tested 135@11K. Note: the transmission is only accessible by removing the engine and splitting the crankcase i.e. don't mess up the transmission or clutch as it will cost about 8.7 work hours. approx. $500-600.

How did I decide to get a bike?  How did I decide to "ride"?  How can I buy the right bike?  What should I look for?

all of the above, coming soon
