Re: More Customs
Hello Paul,
thanks for your nice words. I personally think my ANTENA 3 YZR replica is much better than the MARLBORO bike which only has this radical engine but the rest is pretty unspectacular

OK, just bought the PS digital subscription since PS isn't always an easy find here.rd84 wrote:The KR YZR500 is featured in the latest Practical Sportsbike magazine.

I read about the build.
Well, if Des had of visited the forum I could have saved him the trouble of hacking up the original 1979 TZ500 fairing lower he got off eBay.
Any of the aftermarket TZ500 jobs could have been used (which would have included an upper rather than him needing to scratch build one by hand) and he could have hung the genuine one up in his study
Interestingly he did go with widening the belly pan 50mm - I just spread mine. Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet and splice in a strip down the center.
The details are R1 swinger, R6 front wheel and R1 rear. The tamk is a one off made from cutting and joining an RD500, R6 and FZR600 bits together.
From the 2 page article it does look very nice - would be great to see a nice detail photo spread.

After you buy, they'll email you when the next issue is available. A simple system and no leaving the house to hunt for the magazine.
Re: More Customs
Thanks for the great pics! Please post links to your build info.

Re: More Customs
Anyone know if this is an aftermarket tail or custom?
Re: More Customs
I am sure it is an aftermarket TZ500 seat unit of some flavour.
I used one from a UK fairing manufacturer - I will dig up the name here if I can.
*edit*
Here you go. TZ500J tailpiece. I got it from BBPlastics in January 2016, so it should still be current production. It took a couple months since they also do bodywork for race consumption and that takes production priority.

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in, but the holes are small, thats why the rain is thin

Re: More Customs
Thanks, RC45 for the photo and link.
I want a custom tail for my bike, but if I can't go custom- that tail is a maybe.
The problem I have is- I don't want my heels so close to my ass. Makes my knees hurt, just looking at it. If I use that tail, I would want to raise the whole subframe, tail, pipes, and all.

This thread is about custom work.
No soup for you!!
Please push that bike away from the show area. Thank you.
Re: More Customs
Not my style, but worth a look.

Seems like sort of a waste of a fabulous engine, but wow!

Re: More Customs
Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.
