Nope! You have to post the pics to a web based site first like Flicker. Then link the picks just like you did but not from your C: drive....

Click on the "Reply with Quotes" to see how I do it....



I made sure that there was some "Yamaha" content to stay club compliant....

Well thanks all. As far as the bike goes..I bought it the way it is. What chain should I be running? 530? As I said it's geared too low as is anyway so I will be changing it. Would like to extend/modify the swingarm if anyone has suggestions I would be most grateful. I'll get a couple pics up soon.


I would definitely put a 530 chain on there.... FJ's are hard to chains and its ugly when they break.


A first gen FZ1 swingarm will fit with just a little bit of work and its longer than the stock swingarm.




KOokaloo!
