I have never felt the need for more power for a street ride than a good Honda 500. I will probably even stick with the stock carb and head pipes on this one and a Supertrapp I have laying around. Should be plenty for back roads and forest roads.

I don't have any wheels, I used my spares on my FZ600. I have an Akropovic TI muffler and I have a complete Remus stainless race system, The wisdom for 1at gen exhausts is that the M4 you have makes the most power with Micron coming in second. I do have a complete stock system also.

It fits in V3 with WERA, but it is nowhere near being raceable at this point with suspension issues, oil leaks and poor carburation to start with. I took it to Barber for the Concours a couple of years ago. I rode a couple of slow laps but not the exhibition race.

I decided I had better start with the engine to see what I had for parts. I had never had this engine running and had taken it apart to use the head and cylinder on a different bike. I had pulled the topend off about 12 -15 years ago and now needed to locate all the parts. I found a bunch of...

They are not as the ports come out of the head at different angles. However, a cut off wheel and a welder could make them work just fine.

Here is the wiring diagram I used on my last race SV. It is from Zoran at TWF. I just sent my last SV to a buddy, but do have a few 1st gen spares, like radiators, fans, exhausts, subframes, swingarm and a tub of misc. brackets nuts and bolts and such, if anybody needs anything. Some of it can...

I need to have a bike for riding the backroads around here, Western WI, and around our place in Florida. The roads in FL are all nice low traffic or State or National dirt forest roads. I also need to make some progress on cleaning some of the projects out of the garage. I also have been...

Just remember that the riding position of the race replicas will be totally unsuitable for street use, especially for the roads around your place. Something in the scrambler style would be much better for riding around those coulee roads. I would consider doing a sympathetic restoration of what...

That is 45 year old recommendations for old style tires. I am sure it would be safe, but sounds a little low to me. I would follow the recommended pressure from the tire manufacturer, or if it were my bike I would consider 28 - 30 front and 30-32 rear and see how it felt.

A 17" rear would work, too. There are lots of good 17" tires available. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/984358302856942/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A08ca9c65-942c-4a31-9a45-11131be933c6 is the one in Camp Douglas. It is on Facebook...

I guess there is at least one member on here close to you, I live just north of Menomonie, so about 90 miles or so. I went to UW-LaCrosse a long time ago and lived in Sparta in the early 2000s and worked in Chaseburg. Of course, you have the best riding roads in the state around you and don't...

I have been following along and I have a few opinions on where this project appears to be going. I feel like there is lots of theorizing going on and not enough research and getting with it. Note that Suzuki uses lots of interchangeable parts so may pieces from other models will either bilt...

I have more than a little experience building these motors, if you need any free advice. I have built them in a variety of configurations, some of which I liked better than others. I do have some spare engine parts laying around.

The stock rear suspension on the FZ was very harsh on the rear from new. I think it is a combination of too soft of a spring, too much compression damping and not enough rebound, all built into a cheap steel non-adjustable shock. I have replaced a coople of them with the shock off a CBR900RR as...

It looks like I will be coming to Superior on Sept 9th for my grandson's high school football game. We are going to try and make as many of his games as we can since he is a senior, this year. If that happens, I'll bring the front end along.

It looks like the FZ600 uses a 25x48x15 top bearing and a 30x48x15 lower. The ZX6R has a 30mm OD stem, top and bottom, so 2 lower FZ bearings should allow the ZX6R triple to bolt into the FZ frame. The only thing to take into consideration is the length of the stem. I have covered that on other...

No problem, I'll set them aside or maybe we will make a trip up to Duluth to see the sights and I"ll let you buy me a beer.

I've got a set of USD Kawasaki ZX6r forks you can have, complete with brakes and a front wheel, but no triple clamps.

I think a better route would be to put a whole r6 front end on for better/bigger forks, better brakes and a 17" front wheel. I have heard that the last year for conventional r6 forks is 2005 or 2006. It will brobably be cose to a bolt on with bearing changes.

I think the FZR calipers have different bolt spacing due to the larger diameter rotors. I am pretty sure you would need to make adapter plates. I am impressed that you got the bike up and running so soon. I had that thing for over 15 years and never even tried to start it. It was an incomplete...
