2016 Solar Bear Champion.
So early this year I purchased this.
I was actually in the market for a FZ8N however this one appeared close to home for much less than what others were going for.
I picked up the bike for a good price, after a short ride and a even shorter negotiation process, and this is how it is at the moment.
The bike has already been fitted with a few bits.
Vance and Hines CS one slip on.
Renthal bars
Bar end mirrors.
Short levers
-1 Front sprocket.
Crash sliders
A dead battery.
And lots of dirt and cobwebs, as it had been stored for while.
So in with a new battery to get it running and some fresh fuel.
Its going to get a good clean over the coming weeks and then I will get ready for roadworthy, it will need a set of tires to pass so will get that one the way.
On the way already for the bike I have, set of clear indicators, fender eliminator, Speedo healer, all the service items, and a decent air filter.
Also eyeing off lots of other parts and working out which path I want to take.
Got a few bits on. Fitted a Yamaha helmet, got some clear indicators that are just junk so will track down some genuine ones now.
Also got me Leo Vince bits on.
Speedo drd in. Removed the exhaust valve cables. Now to sort out the indicators for the eliminator.
Got some carbon side covers.
Also have the eliminator all sorted and did the lars mod to the air box.
Need to get some more photos.
So done the air box. Bmc filter. Copperdog flies and uploaded a tune. Now to decide what next. Wondering if to send the ecu off to Ivan over the winter or go with a auto tune instead.
Have quite a few bits to go on at the moment and progress has been very slow. (sorry about the shitty phone pics.)
Rear seat cowl.
Together with rear carbon bits, which dont fit as well as I would like so need some sanding to fit correctly.
And have some tires waiting to go on.
Also have a few more carbon bits and a belly pan to go on that I need to get painted.
Got a fair bit done today. Fitted all my powerbronze stuff. Lower chin fairing, radiator covers, Side carbon bits, rear carbon bit (that still doesn't sit quite right), Also got a Yamaha comfort seat and the rear seat cowl.
Now to get the tires fitted.
