My FZR600R Foxeye Restoration

In the states, this was the upgrade to the FZR600. In other places, this is called an FZR. Either way, many of the components of the US YZF600r fit onto the US FZR600.

have now replaced all the front brakes now have wavey discs R6 calipers and master cylinder and an R6 clutch lever (so i can add adjustable titax levers later)
the bike has been transformed even though the pads are not full bedded in the braking performance is amazing :banana:
Image
and i had a quick go at covering the seats (just a temp job) and think i will stick to the black seats
