Posted September 30, 20186 yr 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.
September 30, 20186 yr Author 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.

October 2, 20186 yr Author 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. Edited October 2, 20186 yr by ChuVids
