HEY THERE ONE N ALL,
JUST DONE THE REGISTER THINGY. NEWBY ON THE BLOCK BUT ANYHOW HERE GOES.
NOT NEW TO THE OLE TWO WHEEL EXPERIENCE 25 YRS BEHIND THE BARS ( CURRENTLY ON BIKE #23) MY RIDE/NON-RIDE AT PRESENT IS A 89' ZXR750, I'M HALFWAY THROUGH A GROUND UP REBUILD ( DUE TO POPPING THE CAMCHAIN AT A LEAST APPROPRIATE TIME, OPEN ROAD BEING NAUGHTY MMM) BUT I HAVE A MINOR PROBLEM TO SOLVE DUE TO AN EARLIER INCIDENT (BEING NAILED BY A GERMAN TOURIST AT A ROUNDABOUT).

I'M TRYING TO LOCATE A FAIRING FOR MY ZXR, $4.5G FOR A FACTORY REPLACEMENT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION & THE ONLY LOCAL FABRICATOR DOESN'T MAKE MY MODEL ( EARLIEST IS A 91' J SERIES, WHICH WOULD FIT EASILY BUT LOOKS PUSS UGLY ON A H1 CHASSIS). HAS OR DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A DEAD 89' ZXR 750 WITH COMPLETE BODY WORK OR FAIRING PANELS FOR A 89' ZXR ? OR HAS ANYONE ANY SUGGESTIONS BAR SOURCING FAIRINGS FROM OFF SHORE OR FROM WRECKERS( BEEN THERE DONE THAT). AND DON'T SUGGEST DUMPING THE ZXR COZ SHES GOT THE BEANS IN ALL THE OTHER AREAS.
CAN EXCHANGE INFO ON RESTORATION OF BIKES AS HAVE REBUILT 5 BIKES (1 MADE IT INTO STREETBIKE MAGAZINE BACK IN 96') PLUS A HOTROD 84' IT250 YAMAHA VMX

dam, 4.5K for fairings is an ouch.
If a ZXR is written of, chances are the fairings were to.
A much better option is o get them custom made
http://www.justfairings.co.nz/kawasaki.htm
will cost you about $700 for a brand new set.
Have been told the qualitys good, it where Im getting my set from after by bin.
They also do afew other brands aswell

thanks for the replys posted so far people, :not:
the suggested ideas have already been tried previously though thanks ,
justfairings in hamilton only go as early as J series ZXR fairings
have got a reli in oz keeping an eye on wreckers there also. :niceone:

wouldn't mind sourcing a complete dead ZXR H1 for parts ( anyone know where one might be? preferably sth island :headbang:

The roundabout dingle with the german tourist was the old car cutting across from the outside lane on to me scenerio ( hard to stop when your cranked over and come face to face with the drivers door ! :argh: )

the ZXR doesn't look to bad with modified panels ( bikini fairing & belly pan) and prior to the camchain parting company it actually went better, maybe coz of a diet of avgas & a few tuning mods (steady 240k at 9200rpm) plus its economical too ( averages 18km/l ).

if it helps Ive got a set of fork lowers and a sprocket and carrier left.
I sold a shit load of H1 parts to bryce at buckets and bits
I sold my race plastics-virtually a complete set to a guy on Trade me called toddy1 --might be worth lookin out for him--he bought them to practice his plastic welding on

oh bugger dude how long ago did you get rid of the plastics ? i'll keep an eye open for that fella anyhow. just had my forks polished so their fine & its got fresh PBR sprockets both ends & i've got a modded ventura pack frame thanks.
did you punt your ZXR around the track? what mods did you do enginewise? just being nosey ( always up for ideas)

welcome to the site, enjoy, please leave it as you found it and watch out for the trolls. Id forget the fairing and just go naked unless a good 2nd hand one turns up, which is highly unlikely
