First post, new member!

(Sorry guys I couldn't find a new member section so I thought here would be the best place!)

My name is Sevinsky, picked up an 07 Fz1-N Summer of 2011, put about 4 thousand miles on it since then and now its in the shop until the snow melts!

Been putting in a few mods and getting used to it this whole time.
About to put on a retro kit in february (Cant wait for it)

Also, if you could! Look at my topic about Apex Clip On handlebars and give some insight if you have any! Thanks!!

-Sevinsky

Welcome!
I am just about finished with my retro conversion. Check out the gen2 parts section. A few threads on it, as well as a thread on retro seats, by dirt road. Just got mine done by him.
Top quality stuff!

Whoops, my apologies guys! I didnt think that this would have gotten so much activity!
I am from Coudersport Pennsylvania, (Potter County) about 3 hours East of lake Erie.
I have alot of pics posted up on the FZ1-forum, I will just copy them over here! Just alot of pics of what I have been doings over the break!


@@UPDATE@@

For anyone who wants to actively track my progress, add me on FACEBOOK

Hey all, Sevinsky again.
Just wanted to let you all know, I finally got my bike in the garage for the winter break!
Got some things I've started doing with it...
Just installed Ivan's FCE, that was a hell of a job, but to anyone looking to do it, he sends a very well laid out set of instructions in the box with it and also.

This
FCE install lots of pics in Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner Forum

topic on fazerowners forum, is INCREDIBLY helpful!
..

SO now that the FCE is in. I am waiting on getting my flies in from Eric, and then I will install Duke's "Perfection" map to my PCIII and see how it runs once the snow melts.

As for the outside, my bike was originally "raven" colored. It had gotten nicks and scratches all over it, so I decided to paint it a nice WHITE!!! color. I am no where finished with that yet, but I will definitely be posting pics when I am!

EDIT PICS ADDED!

Inside the airbox and where the tank should be located



ERIC, aha, this is what I was trying to explain to you over those messages. But everything fits and works fine with that little break, and the flies look amazing! Thanks again!



Airbox again



FCE just installed



Tank and airbox cover



Airbox cover close up



Airbox cover again



Tank (I love how the white looks!!)



And finally the tank again!

New Pictures here 1/1/2012


















Front wheel hugger is currently getting itself painted in the background of the first image. Will be done soon and installed. The bike is nearing completion, I am currently only thinking about doing the front hugger, and if I really really am ambitious, I will paint the tail white also. This job is just so i can get a better experience at painting and so I can get it down to my college looking nice before break is over.

These parts will all be replaced with the exception of the rear hugger by the Retro kit that will be purchased in February.
So far so good though!

Bike is now finished until I get the retro kit on! May take it out for a ride today!








Sorry for the last 3 pics quality! Camera wasn't working so well for me!
