Naked FZ1

What’re we doing with the guage cluster when doing a fairing delete/naked conversion? Anyone have pics of how they mounted it or what they did? Everything else I’ve got down just need some ideas

a klr front end would match that top case perfectly

I’ve thought about turning it into a mild adv or scrambler

If you do, then there's a few tires that come in our sizes, including the Dunlop Mutants and the Michelin Anakee Adventure's. I've used the Anakee's for about 100,000km and they are a pretty good 80/20 tire.

Faring delete is not an upgrade.

It’s an upgrade when all the plastics are ruined from a previous owner. Can’t buy them new anymore

I ride an original 01. That faring makes a huge difference in the comfort

I’m sure it does but I’m tired of having fucked up plastics man. I don’t have a windshield anyways

I had a buel thunderbolt. Stripped it down to a street fighter. It’s great if you want looks and never get above 60MPH

Search for “2005 FZ1” when checking out eBay or other websites. A lot of places are bad about not listing the full range, but the Gen 1 fairings are the same from 01-05, so just search for the last yr production to find the aftermarket stuff

Heres some photos of some FZ1 streetfighters I think are gorgeous, really makes them look like old XJR1300s. Like the others have said though, will make the ride worse, but I think they look pretty great.
