Project / Build: Yamaha FZ 'R' 1000 (Klown)

Ade's Yamaha FZ gets a radical rebuild!

We have run this bike for the past couple of months and its been a really nice bike to ride.
With other projects now complete it was decided to completely rebuild and streetfight this truly rapid machine.
It started life as an FZX 750 but has the 1000 FZR engine fitted!.
