1989 Yamaha FZR600

History

I got this bike as a box of bits to donate parts for another restoration project I had on the go. However, when I looked at the parts I realized I had most of what I needed to make it a whole bike. It had only done 8,500 kms before it was stripped down nearly 30 years ago to donate its front end to a race bike so I figured it needed rebuilding. It hadn't been stored in ideal conditions for the past 20 years so there was some work to be done but Covid lockdowns came in handy to give me time to work on it. So it was only a 12 month project to get it back to showroom condition.

Modifications

No modifications whatsoever. The challenge was actually to make it stock and all original.
