ChuVids Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Picked up a used FZ with 2,000 Miles on it and decided a budget friendly bike needs a budget friendly build. This won’t be a “frame-off build” more of an avg joe style go at it. with a healthy combination of name brand and eBay parts sprinkled in there. The end-style of the bike will be decided as I go. Expect some things to work and other things, not so much..lol should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuVids Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) First thing, was to clean up the bike. Has been sitting in a shed for 2 years, not properly cleaned Wet/Dry sanded the the pipes leading to the water-pump cover. They had Road grime pitting/abrasions Each were roughly 40$ but remember this is a budget build and now 80$ can go towards something else. Hit them with a high temp enamel and let it sit for 24hrs.

ChuVids Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) M4 RM1 exhaust installed tonight. Interesting exhaust note.. for 670$ it was the best ‘bang for the buck’ without compromising quality, sound, or appearance. Woodcraft rearsets go on tomorrow (hoping they fit with the system) Then I start playing with the design.
