A long winter gives a good FJ modding time :-)

It migh be a stupid question, but how many gears would need undercuting?

I count 8 gears thst would need undercut, am i correct?
Will see if Randy has any gears i might add, or search ebay.

Yes I think thats right.Fast by Gast is who did at least one set of mine.I think he does some for Randy as well.I think Randy stocks anything you would need to do the job.I would talk to him for advice.

I would get upshift and downshift sides cut dont remember if there was 3 or 4 sets to cut

Will be awaiting a answer from randy, if he has them pre-undercutt i would try to order some. Did get some prices for undercutting the trans. but it is waaay to expensive over here....

Have just a few more pictures this time.
Been struggling with the clear coat on the mufflers, as I seem to have beed impatient with laying the layers.. And that impatient have a cost, a cost of more labor! 
This is the second time i am doing this, sanding imperfections down so I once again have a smooth surface to lay the coat on.

I noticed that there were some small color changes a few spots, after I laid the final coat yesterday. It seems too be a much lighter black coat, but it has come days after I laid down the 2 first clear coats. It's also in areas were I haven't done any sanding so the clear coat must have caused it. The muffler is rapped in a stainless steel plate, might that have caused it? There is 6 layers of black coat on it, so the base layers are rock solid! 

Regardless of the imperfections, I am still satisfied withe the result. The muffler will be replaced during the winter after all  That is if all goes as planed, which they rarely do...

This is some before pictures, will take some after pics too, but will let the clear harden and buff the muffler first

Well, i must say, there is allways more parts you need then you think. Good thing we have RPM then  

Con.rod bearings, crankshaft bearings and new stud bolts is in house, now the only thing left to accuire is:
1 Shift Fork - Right
1 Shift Fork - Center
1 Shift Fork - Left
1 Intake Manifold Set
1 Yamaha 17T Drive Sprocket
1 Yamaha Drive Spocket Lock
1 Undercut transmission

Orders are in for the all the parts, except the transmission (not in from the undercutter yet)
I order just the front sprocket cause I'll be doing the FZR rear mod soon, and will be changing chain and sprockets then. Have not decided for which combo to go for yet, but thats a problem for another time.

Went over to my mechanic place to do some cleaning on the lower frame parter.
Damn, it was hard labure for 2 hours to get it clean. And still there are some spots left.
I went through 2 brushes and tons of chem. and water. Amazing how hard 30 year old dirt becomes, like concrete glued to the frame.

Here's the old before picture.
