Hosleymoto Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Didn’t realize there were as many FZ guys in this area. I’m about 2hrs from NYST ( up by CA border ) I haven’t made it there yet but stripping the FZ for 100% track duty In a couple months and plan to spend a lot of time there next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has had a season pass at NYST the past 3 years I have been riding there. That's an early Andy Palmer built FZ07R. My bike will be full track duty for next year as well.... This winter's mod thread coming soon... lol 3 Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosleymoto Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I already have the AP R6 front end swap. I have a chassis dyno so I’ll be doing my own motor work/ electronics this winter. Pretty excited to start digging in on this project. Was going to try and keep it somewhat streetable but decided to go full potato. I’m used to “blowing my wad” on bikes lol hopefully I’ll get more use out of the FZ than I do with this.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member blackout Posted September 15, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted September 15, 2019 New Bridgestone S22's for a hopeful October trackday... The S21's served me well and these are a slight upgrade all around according to Bridgestone. 4 Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I think you're gonna like them. They're a popular tire with the Bridgestone folks who need a DOT tire for supersport races. S21 was a great tire too, as was the R-10, and is the R-11 series. The 21 & 22 don't really need warmers either to go on track which is nice for track days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S21's served me well and these are a slight upgrade all around according to Bridgestone. Made it to NYST this past Saturday with the new S22's and all went well. Dry all day, but morning air temps started at 27 degrees with the first session at 30 degrees. My butt was sliding on the seat real easy with the frost on the seat!... Tires gripped fine on the cold pavement, but I was riding cautiously of course. The used ebay wheels were vibration free and I'm still running the Counteract balance beads with good results. 2 Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolby Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Sharkskinz version of the AP Motoarts FZ07R. Just the tank cover and tail. I made headlight and tail brackets, since I still ride street with the bike. Edited October 7, 2019 by kolby 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made headlight and tail brackets, since I still ride street with the bike. Very cool. Just curious: how is the bike ergonomically? I'm still on stock pegs but i have rearsets on the way. I put cheap clubmans on because the upright bars were forcing me to use my knees to transition left/right- that led to serious knee pain (getting old sucks btw). With the clubmans, the knee pain is gone but I'm so scrunched-up that I get a serious case of the burps (like doing crunches). I am going to be installing rearsets and those goofey clipons/mounting-plate that woodcraft sells, but I may send the clipons/plate back and just go with clipons if I can fix the clearance issues AND be somewhat comfortable. -HowWorkClutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolby Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Everyone has different ergonomic preferences, I like to be stretched forward over the front wheel. I had the woodcraft (china copies) that mount on top of the triples, and didn't like them. Now I run standard clipons under the triple, you need a different tank cover of course to get enough clearance. Together with the rearsets, and the elevated seat position (tail & rear shock length), the bike fits great for spirited street riding and the track.

Premium Member blackout Posted October 7, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 7, 2019 Awesome seeing the fz07's on the tracks!
