Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - slimwilly - 07-02-17
has anyone come up with a mod for retaining the rear brake caliper holder still allowing for it to slide when adjusting the chain ? thay=ts when you remove the rear wheel of course

Nice job mr willy :thumbup ..........i am a bit puzzled though....why would you want to restrict a track bike ?
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - tony_d123 - 11-02-17
Great idea. Did you not know it's the law that you have to have speed blocks on yellow Yamahas though? :lol

Decals are on going
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - fireblake - 13-02-17
Hey Slim, what a great idea. How much did you pay for the track plastics and tank? I did 3 track days last year and have been thinking of changing the Fazer for something more track focused. I might just save the money and do what you've done

Started doing the Speed block pattern but in an easier style also put wheel tape on. I am quite pleased what you can do for such little money.
The plastics are all originals I have collected from breakers , see first posts,, I then aerosol painted them.

Hi Mickey, I paid about £240 for all the parts and tank, £50 for paint . I had some raised bars on the Fazer so I have turned them over to get a bit more of a racey riding position, works well. might move to clip ons.
See the first posts and see the panels. I have done three track days on it with the standard panels and it rides real nice, I love it.

So the kiddy bit,,stickers, yes stickers to break it up a bit ,
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - slimwilly - 14-02-17
And the finished bike,,i think,,,apart from some maintenance
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - slimwilly - 14-02-17
I have also got myself some spare wheels complete with the wet's I bought at a wet Cadwell park , they are amazing to ride on in very very wet conditions, I could not believe how fast you can ride with them on with standing water everywhere
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - dazza - 14-02-17
Looks fantastic Slim, really striking, got to paint the bellypan yellow now dude. I had a black one on mine and it just used to blend in. Ayellow one just jumps out on you and contrasts so well with the black frame and engine.....Do it....Do it :lol
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - slimwilly - 14-02-17
You my old tich are correct,,i forgot I still have to make one,,yes , make one, the blue one on there is my tidy one, its coming off,,may use it as a mould and extend it,,it sure will finish it off, I will try with fibre glass, as its hot underneath near the pipes, will try and make a race safe one 2"deep and complete,, a bit of a head scratcher I think
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - jerbear - 15-02-17

Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - jerbear - 15-02-17

Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - tony_d123 - 15-02-17
I like it and you will have loads of fun riding around the outside of all the race reps.
Re: Making a track bike from my Fz1s - slimwilly - 18-02-17
Took it for a shakedown this afternoon , it went well, looking for the dry spots on the road.
