FS: Race/street FZR400 plus a garage full of parts!
This bike (and huge collection of parts) was my 2003 racebike in the 450 production and superbike classes with the AFM (http://www.afmracing.org/). I bought it from another racer in 2002, tore it down to the frame and inspected/lubed/reassembled everything, had the motor rebuilt by Dave Norgard, had Aftershocks revalve the suspension, and fixed every problem I could find. It was a great winter project, and an even better racebike. See http://www.fur-o-dynamic.org/ for race pictures.
I crashed it at the last AFM race, and bent the front forks at a 20-degree angle. The battery also died and the fairing was cracked up a bit. Since then I've put in a new battery, swapped in a new set of front brake rotors, reworked the forks with new tubes (with Aftershocks settings), stitched the fairings back together, and fixed a bunch of other small niggling problems.
The triple tree and headstock on the bike are straight. The head bearings aren't notched at all. The triple tree doesn't move forward/backward in the mount. There's no damage to anything else. I spent a long time making sure of that (because I'd have swapped the triple, frame, etc, if it needed it).
The motor (the most important part!) on this bike is fantastic. It's 1mm over, but otherwise stock (450 production legal). It was built at the beginning of the 2003 season by Dave Norgard, who runs at the front of the class (and is a mechanic). It kicks ass. No overheating problems, pulls like a mofo, very strong. The engine work cost me about $1500, and that's about half as much as the work was worth (thanks, Dave).
The suspension is set for a 210lb rider. Forks have .95kg/mm springs and emulators. I very carefully rebuilt the forks according to instructions from Aftershocks. Rear fox twin-clicker has a 700lb spring. Aftershocks revalved (not resprung, or refreshed, but revalved - a $500 job) both mid-season.
The FZR400 is a great bike, perfect for someone looking for a smaller bike, or for those who aren't blessed with long legs. Good to start racing on. The AFM 450p/sb group is very close and friendly. Please contact me if you would like more information, would like to see the bike, etc. I will deliver within a couple of hours.
Thanks,
