YOU ARE GREAT !!! FROM GREECE !!! I HAVE A SPECIAL FZR 1000 OF YEAR 1990 !!!

[@MrPADDYOT]

Always get a good laugh from your videos. Just the right content in terms of detail. You've helped me decide that I haven't got the gonads to change the head bearings on my ZXR myself, so she's going to my mechanic! 😅

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Haha cheers 😆 Yeah I know some people like to promote the “You can do it all” mentality but I try to be transparent about what I found straightforward and what can be a pain!

[@ChrisSofos]

Oh man!!!! Again I cried in laughter 😂😂😂 You did an amazing job as usual. Was not expecting anything less. It's a pain in the ass to remove/install the steering wheel bearings! Especially if you don't have the bearing remover kit. You did it old school which is great! I'm looking forward to see it finished!!!!

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Haha cheers Chris, yeah I’m slowly building up handy tools to make jobs easier, but still have a lot left to go 😂 I’m pretty confident it’ll be having its first test ride in a few months. (That’s when I find out how many of the jobs I’ve ballsed up!)

[@CDKZFZ]

Good job man, doing the same job on my cbr 600 f4i right now, cheers from Canada! ,also I had owned an fz750 so I love your 1000!

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Nice! I hope it goes smoothly 👍🏻 Cheers!

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Cheers!

Another great episode!! I love this channel and look forward to every new upload 👍

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Thanks! Should be a bit more frequent for a while as i have a lot planned over the Christmas break 🤞

[@Retroanaconda]

Awesome stuff. Be careful with using steel hammers directly onto bearing races though, very easy to deform them 👍🏻

[@user-pw1oi1gs5f]

[@mark675]

The ending 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Haha had to rewatch to remind myself what it was 😆 I’m not allowed to take all this seriously!

[@mark675]

@tomsworkshopprojects Lol! I nearly spat my tea out 😂 Enjoying the videos keep it up 👍😁

[@roguenut9]

Nice work and great to see some humour at the end too. Do you have plans to ride this beast once you've finished or flip it for another project?

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Oh yeah I’m definitely keeping this one for a few years once it’s complete. I’ve already got the next project lined up in the form of the ZX7R. Also the RVF needs a bit of love too at some point so these three will keep me busy for a few years yet!

[@roguenut9]

@@tomsworkshopprojects Wow, all the great bikes from the early to mid 90's. Looking forward to your future work!

[@ChrisMotorsandbikes]

Hello, which R6 front master cylinder did you use, which year?

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

It was from an ‘02, I think I go a bit more into detail on the Blue Spot conversion video if you haven’t seen that already.

[@JokerStudioRadom]

Front suspension’s from R1 01 ?

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

It’s the stock front end for the ‘94 model, though it’s very similar in design to the R1 front end compared to the earlier FZRs

[@JokerStudioRadom]

@@tomsworkshopprojects okay! I was suggested brake calipers and Gold color front :) i Have fzr 1000 too, and have a Big crash last year. wonder if i still repair my fzr. Love Your channel 💪

[@rupertsmedley4210]

when`s issue 11?

[@tomsworkshopprojects]

Probably a few weeks, I’m hoping to get a few things done over Christmas too 👍🏻
