grease ball needing help
Hello from New Mexico, USA.
Most of my motorcycling has been on British bikes, and for the last 3 decades a '72 Norton. One I hot rodded in 1980.
A few years back I was able to pick up an '83 Harley XR1000 roadracer.
Not wanting to destroy it at the track, I thought I'd buy something cheap to hone my skills and crash. (I'm pretty good at crashing) I got a '96 ZX7RR, not exactly a collector since the frame had been polished and a Muzzy stainless exhaust installed. Worst, the Keihin FCRs were replaced with the ZX7R CV carbs. Long story short, I fell in love with the bike's handling and performance and have made a few minor modifications myself. Recently I got a set of Keihin, Sudco, 41mm FCRs off eBay and am trying to install them, but with some difficulty. Do any of you southerners have any experience or pictures of mounting the FCRs on the '96 up ZX7 bikes?

G'day and welcome mate.
Don't know myself but there are plenty of 7 owners on here so I'm sure someone will be able to sort you out.
Cheers

Hi Eric, welcome to the Club mate.
Heh a few years ago I had a contact in Alberquerqe, I think his name was John ?, he was into Kawasaki triples, the 750 in particular, and modifying them to suit reed-valve induction.......
Do you know him ??
