FJR Naked Street project

[nofreeride]

It's finally done. I don't think it's quite as ugly as it was. Certainly not for everybody. But, when you think about it, a 1300cc version of FZ09?

Ten more photos coming up in the next post.

What does it weigh and how loud is the exhaust? Is the windscreen even marginally effective? Looks like fun. I bet you will get a lot of "What is it?"

 

[nofreeride]

I haven't weighed it yet. It feels very light compared to a stock FJR.

The exhaust is just basically a glass pack, so kinda loud.

The windscreen exists as a deflector for the gauge cluster, so no it does not do anything for the rider.

Very cool and innovative. How does it handle?

This is an 05 non-ABS. The suspension is stock. It was extremely stiff in the rear until I changed it back to the 'soft' setting. I've had several FJR's and this one is very fun.

Im pretty sure I could wheelie that bad boy.

It looks fun, good job.

That thing is too cool for school! I love it!

I like it! You can tell a lot of thought went into it. I especially like the rear and what you did with the tail. Although the headlights . . . well, just don't paint the bike yellow.

Headlights look like Triumph Street triple to me. I like em.

Just keep them away from the minions.

 

[nofreeride]

Thank you all for the feedback.

A lot of thought went into just about every design decision. I wanted everything to look right and function properly. I had the headlights mounted higher before and it just looked goofy. I considered a single large headlight as well.

Any questions don't hesitate. Obviously, I wouldn't expect everyone to like it. I think there would be a different version for each person that did it.

The paint, btw, is Plastidip Steel Blue Pearl. I saw it on a Mercedes on youtube and fell in love with the color.

 

[RossKean]

The color is definitely right for the bike.

That radiator is my issue! I don't know what you can do with it, and the side pieces help, but it's still.. OUT THERE!!!

I like it. Love how you shortened the tail section. Very creative

Cool bike...I bet it's a fun ride!

This doesnt look half bad...kinda cool and not something youd see. A few more small details and I think it would pop.

Maybe a rear hugger? And possible some light plastic ends on the radiator and a belly pan, kind of like my Brutale.

I do have to say is I am more impressed than I thought possible. End result is not to bad and congrats for the end result. You did well sir.

Agree, but maybe just painting the shiny alloy flat or satin black would make it fit in better, visually.
