Fizzer Update

Finally! The FZR is back on the road. I spent all day Saturday giving the house a thorough scrubbing, and on Sunday the sun finally came out and wind died.

So, I spent the afternoon finally getting the replacement header installed on the FZR and finishing up the brake upgrade. How's she run? Like a dream! She's a whole new bike now. Backfire and lean running are all gone, and the dead spot between 4500-6500 is gone (valve cleanup and cable replacement I'm sure helped a ton). Rode into work this morning and couldn't believe the difference. The brakes could use one last bleed though (I ran out of fluid before I was happy with the bleed), but they're still a huge improvement over stock.

The replacement turn signal is still back-ordered for Chris' car, so I didn't get that done this weekend. Also skipped on replacing the tyre as we just didn't have the time or extra cash at the moment. I did get it all nice and clean though, as the interior had a nice 'Christmas tree' theme to it thanks to last weekend's dumping of the tree. ;-)
