First pics as a complete bike, there was still a few things missing - we are slowly getting there.
The front Fairings are 08-09 ZX10 somewhat modified by Just fairings, rear fairing is ZX6r, front guard is MV Augster, tank is Std ZXR400H1, Subframes are custom, swing arm is ZXR400L, Rims are Dymag for ZXR400....try finding a set of those!! We are running a GPX datalogger as the dash.
Paint scheme to come however it we are aiming for a black on white - hence the white spokes.
hardest part is making the seat fit - haven't succeeded yet

Very cool. I'm likely to repaint my SV in the same white on black colours. They do stand out well.

Nice.
Less is more when it comes to paint & sticker schemes on a bike. I've gone the same way (but white and green) with mine and the stickers turned up (thanks to MSTRS for the great work and price) this morning. It's going to look great!!

It'll be wearing it's new fairings and stickers Dec 1st-2nd at Hampton Downs.
Really wanted to do the Tri Series rounds but ran out of money so it's just a few club days for day.

What bits/info you after - im not suspensionly minded, I gave them to Rob T and emptied the wallet - product was a set of forks that are amazing, better than the 2011 ZX6r Big piston jobs.
We haven't done cartridges, but its had ohlin springs, revalved top and bottom (I think) and the race tech mid valve system.

I've had a chat to Rob about a year ago about my H1 units, perhaps I better get them sent in...
Any idea if it's factory valving or if he's put some tasty aftermarket bits
I need to make mine work, they're running on Motul 10w and they're absolute shit.

yep - DEF NOT factory, The first stage I went was ohlins springs for my weight - these were not terribly expensive, I think something like $750 fitted with a full rebuild. Made a huge difference from stock......Rear shock normally is also rubbish stock.

Haha, not sure im used to the sound yet... very tractor like. Managed a 15.4 on the 4th session, very happy with that... plently more to come since it aint even tuned. It was running at around 85-88degrees doing that so well check on the dyno to see what affect that has....

Ok so I am not really that thick but what the hell does that mess of letters stand for anyway?
