Frankenfazer

[ChristoT]

Just been staring at the Frankenfazer pic on the forum banner. I reckon it might be a doable build! Thoughts?

Anything's possible, just takes money.

I would say time money and space if you are doing it yourself.

I never manage to get a complete triangle, Currently have time and space but no money 

No fun in it, if you just pay somebody to do it for you.

Agreed. I have time, but no money or space. I generally sit and ponder. After several hours (really), I have decided that blue LEDs lighting up my engine is too tacky. Something a normal person could have determined in 5 seconds.

[Razgruff]

Yea blue LEDS lighting engine is really tacky.

But Red LEDS lighting the rear wheel now that's different

What are you a 22 year boy racer with a "supped" up citreon saxo.

No, a 19 year old boy ricer with a "supped down" FZS600 (33hp).

Blimey sorry didn't mean to be so rude and close to the mark. At least you are on the light side and riding a bike and not a car. And eventually it will come off and under the new laws about 3 years before other riders in your situation so chin up.

[sadlonelygit]

it's impossible................the chain's on the wrong side

Or the time it took to read that sentence!

Don't worry, it's all good banter! As for performance, just ask anyone who rode back from Brum with me, or does the LoFo rides as regards to how I handle my machine...

Tbh when I red line it in each gear I'm hanging on for dear life with my eyes streaming

I laid claim to the name Frankenfazer about 2 years ago

[Dead Eye]

What exactly is the Frankenfazer?

[Chris]

It's the bike at the top of the forum pages. Or if you mean what does it consist of then I'd say: FZ1 rear swingarm, FZ6 rear subframe/seat/exhausts, FZS1000 engine/frame/downpipes, FZS600 foxeye fueltank/boxeye fairing/headlights and I presume FZ1 forks but not sure about the forks...

[Aegis Bearing Mel]

Spot on that man.


Think I could get away with claiming the forks are from the FZ8 so I covered all models?

Ah good call, although if they're from the FZ8 wouldn't they need to be gold... if we're being picky?
 
Good thing noone here is that picky 
 
Chris

[Dead Eye]

Ah, right yeah, was more interested in what the build consisted of

[Chris]

There was a garage in Shetland called BMR that made a kind of frankenfazer. Think they used some Aprillia parts but I'm not sure exactly. They wanted something like £10k for it which is far too much. They were going to make more to order for people but think they might have gone out of business. This is a picture of it at the Simmer Dim Rally when they'd just finished it.
 

[Raymy]

You'd need a steel heel for the right boot on that thing

[Chris]

You sure would, I really don't like the exhaust on it. But I didn't build it so not my problem.

[Lazarus]

is the front wheel bigger than the back - or should I get my squint checked out?

[Chris]

Now that you mention it, it does look bigger but pretty sure they're both 17"

[caretaker]

like that a lot, even though i'm an old git...
