Nice project!  I've seen the modded pictures somewhere before - don't remember where.  Want to tell us a bit about your mods?

The bike has had a full strip down rebuild.
Powder coated frame,
re painted engine.
Yamaha r1 4xv front forks, with a thunderace front wheel to keep speedo drive.
Aprilia rs125 speedo cable because the front end is alot shorter.
Blue led bulbs in the clocks,
Considering an fz1 top yoke, to line up the ignition barrel with the steering lock because the r1 yoke is has an offset barrel.
Yamaha r1 4xv swing arm running a 190mm rear. Bike is on michelin pilot powers.
Ohlins rear shock that's fully adjustable,
Carbs have been re-jetted with pod filters aswell from the fj owners club.
4-1 remus exhaust,
Xjr1300 sprocket cover and pushrod,
Offset front sprocket.

Shes a bit of a beast.

Long time no post. 

Anyway, pretty bike.

I think you'll learn to hate those white wheels though.  I  have them on a Gixxer, and they are tough to clean/ keep clean. 

Otherwise, very impressive, work.

Cheers,

dan
