Yamaha FZR600R – Alloy Swinging Arm

 Some fairly significant changes were recently made to the FZR. The most noticeable probably being the swinging arm from a Yamaha Fazer 600. The rear caliper is from a Yamaha Fazer 1000, which required some minor modification to the 600 hanger in order to fit.

A Thundercat shock absorber has been fitted to replace the broken Nitron unit. Unfortunately it’s nowhere near as good, but at least it makes the bike road worthy until the Nitron can be repaired.

The bars have been relocated so that they sit underneath the top yoke. This gives a better body position for fast riding.

Now for Something Different: W800 Gentlemen Cup 2012

Here’s a new feature I’ve been meaning to start for a while.

Whilst browsing Youtube for awesome bike videos, I stumbled across this little gem. The description reads “Video vom ersten Rennen des Kawasaki W800-Cup. Der Film zeigt eine gekürzte Fassung des 2. Laufes in Bürglen TG.” Which is German, and translates to; “Video from the first race of the Kawasaki W800 Cup. The film shows a shortened version of the 2nd Run in Bürglen TG.”
