Thought Id post some updated pics of the ZXR. Ive done a bit of tinkering on it since Ive owned it, trying to get it looking & going A1. It was in great nick when I bought it but it just needed a little TLC to make things right.
I took off all the fairings and adjusted all the brackets before putting it all back on so its sits right. The headlights used to sit about 2 inches behind the fairing opening and now sit pretty close to flush. I relocated the numberplate light up into the rear ducktail and moved the plate up underneath the tail light. I added new grips as well as clear indicator lenses. Mark was nice enough to go up to Newcastle and grab the decals that were on order for the bike, so I put them on last night.
Just got it re-registered too, so Im ready to take it down to the snowies next week after doing an ASBS Level on Monday.
Looks great James.. I hope Mick checks this thread...

I ride way too fast to worry about cholesterol
Im pretty happy with the aesthetics of it now, not much else to do in that regard. I think the next things to do are the suspension front and rear and I may get a Megacycle full system with a C/F oval can. I got a quote from them this week for around a grand which I reckon is pretty good. Ive had megacycles on my ZX636 and an old Gixxer and I like the fit and finish. They sound alright too!
But tomorrow Im off to the creek to learn how to ride it!
7THSIN - sorry just saw your post after submitting mine. Thanks mate! The grips are Harris grips. I just bought them from a local bike accessories store. They were $29.95. They fit really well, have a good feel and look to be good quality too. Your local shop should be able to order them in for you.
