Hi everyone.

Thought it was about time i posted a picture of my TZR that i bought as a project about 8 months ago.

The bike had not been run for many years before i bought it and was missing alot of parts. After months of sourcing parts its now mot'd and running very sweetly and ready for a paint job.




James.

Will defo be up for a meet when the weather gets better mate.
Been spending alot of money on it lately and bought another tank, upper cowl, front mudguard and a single seat pod and will hopefully be getting some side panels also all in the original colours.
Once the weather gets abit warmer i will venture into the garage and fit everything and then take some fresh pictures.

Hi all after using my 3ma on the road last year i decided to uprate the suspension. In the end i settled on R1 forks and yokes but ive used a YZF wheel so i can still retain the front speedo drive. For the rear i sourced a 3maSP rear shock. After alot of machining its finished except for me sourcing a top yoke and waiting for the front mudguard to be painted.
Here is a picture of it that was taken today and im well chuffed. Also added a radial master cylinder to the braking system for good measure.



Thanks james.

Hi all, managed to fit the side panels and upper cowl etc today.
Fingers crossed the single seat pod, top yoke and front mudguard will be arriving shortly so i can make the most of the nice weather.

Here are some fresh images of the bike. Since my last post ive had the tank painted along with the single seat pod and mudguard, im very happy with the quality of paintwork and finishes off the bike.
Im still playing with the suspension settings but after only a few miles ive noticed the bike is alot more controlled over bumps etc and the brakes are awesome.
Ive removed the lowers for the moment as im playing with jetting etc.
