Hi guys !

Does anyone know the owner of this bike here ? Or is he among us maybe ? I want to ask some questions from him about the customising of this bike.
Thanks a lot !

Looks great.  Well executed. I like the fabricated loovers where the side scoops would have been. Good idea. Other than that just shortened the tail frame. Eliminated the side panels. Added flat plate with yield sign/number plate. And Good paint choices. Other than that looks pretty stock. Pretty simple and straightforward. But very well done.

I agree with Dan, this looks like a well executed, minimal mod project. A nip here, a tuck there, all pushed by that gorgeous Yamaha block pattern paint scheme. Inspirational.

Yes, i agree too. Very good and nice design.   :good2:

Just wat some things to ask. I have a really big bunch (2-3 bikes scrapped down) of FZR bits in stock, so i wanna build a bike like this one. I got FZR600 top yoke and bars so bar question is solved. Got complete brakes, forks, wheels and all the stuff for 1000 Exup too. The main question is about the front fairing. You know the FZR bars wont fit in the 1TX fairing when fully turned so i have to cut the fairing like this here. Luck there is a broken one in my stash, so i dont need to kill my newly painted one hehehe  :sarcastic:

Two clues are in the "Visual' Think" and "Speedy Gomme" logo's on the bike - both are businesses based in Genova (Genoa), Italy.

I'm sure if you approached either of them with the photograph of the FJ, they would be able to put you in contact with the owner  :good2:
