Hi Mark thanks for your great comments.sorry for slow reply only just back from holiday. The frame, swingarm, forks, wheels are 1988 FZR 400 1WG .YPVS 31k engine, wiring loom, electrics, switch gears.1999 R6 fuel tank and rear subframe .R6 2003 fairings, headlights seat unit and seat .gsxr 600 rear shock.Rear brake caliper is R1 with modified hanger, Front calipers are R6 . The build took about 3 years on and off the engine was a bit tricky to mount with lots of frame /cradle mods ,re position side stand etc . The fairings had to be re shaped to fit frame ,Then there was the paint job, after a dozen different yellows and hours of masking i finally got it sorted, very happy with my first spray job .
