The FZ1 has risen from the flames!!!

Well, no flames were involved here, but I have been working hard to gather the money to get my bike back on the road from this:

So I finally got all the parts, and the weather was nice, so I have taken the last couple of days off. Here is some progression photos:

There were a few issues that popped up, so I had to order a few extra parts, so she isn't done yet, but it is very close to being ridable. Definately getting pumped.

Looking good! Mirrors look good, how are you liking them as opposed to the stock fairing ones?

The visibility is great, plus I think they look better than the stock fairing mirrors. They are extremely adjustable. I got FZ8 perches so I got the mirror mounts. They have clamp on mirror mounts, but I wanted to save space on my handlebars.

Really like those mirrors with the integrated turn signals. I just wish there was a nicer way to cover up the stock openings. It would be awesome if someone made plastic pieces that were factory color matched and were a perfect fit for the hole left behind.

I thought about trying to make some out of my trashed plastics(which I actually did for the front turn signals) but got the block offs from Hail for a good price a while ago. I like the bar mounted mirrors better that the stickers, since these mirrors are extremely adjustable.

She is 99% done. Just waiting on a switch, but she can be ridden as is.
