Yamaha FZR 750 modification

[@tanyamarco1]

Dear Chris,thanks for replying me.I have the same motorbike I bought it here in Slovenia in almost perfect conditions for only 1.600 € ! while it is and will be worth way much more in the next future.Thanks again for Your video.

[@ChrisSofos]

My pleasure That's really cheap!!! In Australia they worth around $8000 in good condition. I'm trying to find the upside down version but it's close to$10000!!! I found some good ones in Greece really cheap and I might bring one in Australia. Can you sent me pics of your FZR? [e-mail]

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks a lot for your kind words! Keep on the YZF. One of my favorite bikes!!!!!

[@spark23ca]

Wow superb modification buddy is really awesome

[@ChrisTripp]

That's an amazing transformation. I'm jealous of your capabilities. I hope that one day I will be able to restore a bike with such finesse.

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks! To be honest... i don't know!!! i just took the fairings and i did it! It was my first job. I asked a few friends how should i do it, but listen on "how to", from dong it, it's a bit different. It wasn't hard though.

[@skycrawler30]

You're a legend.

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks mate!!

[@JOSELUISROZO]

Excellent job, thank you for sharing it! I was wondering if you could tell us more about the welding technique you used to make the modifications in the frame and also the materials involved in it. Thanks again!

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks for your kind words! I used TIG welding. The new frame was originated from a ZXR 400 Kawasaki which I had to remove the passenger's part. The material (of course) was aluminium. Then I had to do quite a few measurements in order to bring it to the correct height and positioning.

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks a lot mate!!

[@ChrisSofos]

Thank you!!

[@ChrisSofos]

Thanks mate! I couldn't miss the Genesis ;)

[@cntryboy85]

good looking bike. love the color and looks like you are running battle axes on it. love that tire. i am on fzronline too. cntryboy85 i am in the middle of a 660 build on my 95. how much modification did you have to do to the fairing mounts and the fairings them selves minus the headlights to get them to mount. i love the way it looks. i have looked a few with the r6 tail and like it but idk. i have also thought about shaving down the tail under the bubble to give it more of a pointed look.

[@ChrisSofos]

I'm there too as csofos! Actually, there is a post of this bike there. It's called "Just fixed an FZR 750". It's been a couple of years i haven't been posting though. I think it's about time to start doing it again. Well, it took me a lot of hours to find the correct spots for the fairing mounts.Plus that i had to modify the fairings themselves at some point. All i had to do, was to mount them on the bike roughly and go from there. It'll take much time, but it's worth it, trust me!

[@Sniper14k_Official]

+Chris Sofos of course, its just nice seeing the bike work 100% i have some wire problems, and the carb needs synced, im more worryed about the wires.

[@ChrisSofos]

How did you go with your FZ600? It's been 3 months. Let me know!

[@Sniper14k_Official]

Chris Sofos slow but good!! i got her a horn, painted the 2 side ba fairings dark blue, with a shiney clear, and same blue on the tank with sating clear coat. i de rusted the tank with metal rescue, works like a boss!! gave it a blood red seal. its sitting right now for winter, no garage to work in. when its a bit warmer, head gasket and valvr gasket need changed, bubbles be leakin so it tells me there bad, it does it all around. so ima skio a compression check and just change those just incase. i still need to to small uper left and right fairing, and the 2 biger left n right fairings. u can see it here instagram.com/cloudymotovlog needs alot of work, signals aswell. but i got those here. i would still love a professions help sadly the ones who know this bike seem to me thousa.ds of miles from me haha. i need a windshield aswell. i got new tires and will take the rims off when i or a lift or somthing, i will be painting them a brighter red, maybe a powder coat. i may buy new small parts, chain and what not. but she runs ajd works. nothing compaired to your sexy bitch!! hahahaha

Swingarm fit without any modifications?

[@ChrisSofos]

Cichy VideoMotoVlog Unfortunately no! I had to do some major mod on the fzr's frame. I had to widen up the frame to the joining point with the swing arm. Also, I had to machine the wheel's chain gear drum, in order to align it with the engine's chain gear.

Θελω να σε ρωτησω για το μπροστινο που πηρες απο το 400ρι τα φρενα πως ειναι;;;;;Δεν του πεφτουν λιγα για τα κιλα του;;;;; Σε ρωταω γιατι εγω εκανα ακριβως το ιδιο σε ενα 600ρι FZR αλλα αγορασα ενα R1 κ παρατησα το προτζεκτ κ χαρισα το μηχανακι κ δεν το οδηγησα ποτε κ δεν εχω εικονα πως ηταν τα φρενα αν κ λογικα πρεπει να ηταν κομπλε καθως το 600 ηταν πολυ ελαφρυ. Ευχαριστω εκ των προτερων για την απαντηση.

[@ChrisSofos]

Χίλια συγνώμη για την πολύ αργή απάντησή μου. Όπως και εσύ, έτσι κι εγώ, δεν το οδήγησα ποτέ γιατί έφυγα για Αυστραλία λίγο πριν το τελειώσω. Έτσι, έμεινα με την ιδέα. Μόλις αγόρασα πριν 2 μήνες ένα FZR 1000 '95 σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση και θα το κρατήσω σε γνήσια κατάσταση.
