Hey, Easy! Good to see you are still kicking
Making good progress on the bike.
Sorted out the rest of mounting the rearsets. On the FZ07 there is a nub that makes a 3rd point of contact to prevent the rearset from wobbling on it's isolators too much. I just turned up a small button that is captured between the rearset and the mounting plate. Also spaced them out slightly so they'd sit flush with the side covers.
CRF450 master cylinder showed up and matched the bolt pattern on the rearsets, but the MC was hitting the frame. Needed spaced over, but still tucks behind the heel plate.
Started looking at the exhaust and the Yoshimura system that came with the bike is in better shape than I thought. The can did have a hole in from what looks like the bike had been dropped and the centerstand got the can? It cleaned up pretty well, though. Need to find some double sided tape appropriate to stick this thing back on.
Can and emblem cleaned up pretty well after welding about a TON of little knicks and dings. The emblem isn't as wrinkly as the camera makes out.
I almost cut this system up for bends! My last 4-1 pipe drug horribly so I was gonna build my own 4-2 system, but these pipes tuck up VERY well.
Needs some dent removal one one pipe, though.
Midpipe was way too long, but it looks OK shortened up a bit.
Shaved down the retainers to get rid of the Royal Enfield art-deco look. This along with the Yoshi stuff give a solid 25lbs weight savings compared to stock exhaust!
Stock pipe weight.
Per side!
More progress has been made. I sunk the stock tail light and made a mount for the shock reservoir. In the middle of a snow storm currently ( booooo) and the internet is being slow. I'll upload more later.
