Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: FZR400 1WG

Re: FZR400 1WG
Don't know - but it looks the same as a fzr600 so I reckon drill it and bolt it on. If this is a race bike you need to have a belly pan / catch tray if it's just a track day bike then work out how your going to get it on / off without taking the front wheel off.

Re: FZR400 1WG
It's going to be a dedicated race bike (eventually) so I'll need to sort out catch tray (I've asked them if they can fit one to it).

Re: FZR400 1WG
Anyone know (EC?) which other race seat units are the easiest mods? What else is needed apart from the obvious seat?
OK so I've found out the easiest mods are either FZR600RR or TZ. Decisions, decisions

Re: FZR400 1WG
Not sure about the TZ and the 600 has slightly different standard plastics. Really you'd do better to use a race subframe because yours is steel. The 600's frame is generally the same so it could be a frame and seat will bolt on ... fingers crossed

Re: FZR400 1WG
Apparently the TZ seat unit is a fairly simple and common modification so I've opted for that one. It's also slimmer than the 600 seat unit. I'm not too bothered about a race subframe at the moment - it's my first active season and money is tight until I can get some more sponsorship (I've got myself and my signwriter at the moment).

Re: FZR400 1WG
Bloody typical! The headers sit below the bottom of the race fairings so I can't fit a catch tray 
Looks like I'm going to have to get a set of headers made up with the collector up front so there's only a single pipe under the sump. More bloody expense
