Just got back from a great vacation. am very anxious to get back to work on the old beast.
i am putting a different fuel tank on tommorrow and i will post a couple of pics then. the tank on it now was only a temp until i finished up the welding of the tank im fixin up for it. the rear tail was an old 200mhz computer case i had layin in the shed and i beat it out with a hammer against a cedar block the welded to the fram. i made the seat from a chunk of 1\2 inch plywood,some water proof carpet pad ,and the back outa a love seat i found along the street.
the front & rear tires are exactly the same. 140/90-18's
on the factory police wheels. the front forks are wider. was still a job to get that tire in there. i had to remove the front calipers and still had to kinda rotate the forks to get it in . but once it was there it has plenty of clearance. it handles very well to my suprise! corners very nice. but i was used to riding a 72 guzzi so maybe its just me. i had to mount the fzr fender up high because there wasnt very much room to mount any kinda fender in the normal positon. i had the plan to turn it into a cafe type bike but it has evolved into more of a streetfighter kinda look. it has grown on me i must say. with a 14-46 gearing is Xtremely fun to ride. the hi-max tires are very tall and the 15-35 setup was a dog with a tired ole motor, but a gear change woke it right up. anyway...Thanx for the welcome. ill be hanging round for a bit i expect
