The Street Fighter Project
	Several months ago I put my hands on an old 1000 FZR Genesis. The bike had been vandalized and the previous owner kept it in his garden for a couple years in the hope that he will eventually have time to repair it. Time never came and he sold me the bike for a couple hundred bucks. Taking into account my lust for speed and the recent changes in law enforcement in France, I realized that putting together a race bike may not be such a good idea. I had seen a few cool pictures of what I learned later where called "streetfighters" and decided to build one of my own. This section of the site is dedicated to this project. Explore the list of modifications using the menu on the left. My FZR at the begining of the project.

The o-rings to rebuild these are quite hard to find so here are a few resources to help you Motorcycle Carbs CycleWareables - Carb   Aluminum DragBar For some reason nobody seems to import alloy flat bars to France. I have identified three companies manufacturing these and ordered mine from the U.K. Renthal Renntec LSL Demon Tweeks
