Yamaha (FZ 'R' 1000 Custom Streetfighter)
Created - July 2009 - August 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is - "Klown"

Ade's Yamaha FZ gets a radical rebuild!

We have run this bike for the past couple of months and its been joy to ride it.
With other projects now complete it was decided to completely rebuild and streetfight this truly rapid machine.
It started life as an FZX 750 but has the 1000 FZR engine fitted!.

Rebuild and Restoration carried out by Ade & Rob
