Being tight on funds I bought a "project" ZXR750
She has bent front forks, a busted fender and a bent rear subframe, a busted fairing blade and the back seat is missing.
Anyone seen any of these bits in a wreckers anywhere ?

My brother-in-law has a 1989 ZXR750 with a blown motor, everything else in really good nick.

Only trouble is, he wants $1500...

It is a nice green colour though...

I'm an expert on bending subframes, not straightning them. Sorry.

XJ/FROSTY - I've got a flattened 89 ZXR750, unfortunately I have all the same broken bits as you, sorry :(

I've just bought a ZZR1100 (my new 'old man' bike ;) ) so I know what you mean about the ZXR feeling nimble... I hope the ins hurries up so I can get another sporty bike, I miss the twisties.

Good luck getting the bits... I'll give you a yell if I see any parts in my travels.

Sedge.

Hi Frosty

It was nice to meet you yesterday, and good buy on the ZXR. That Ohlins shock is nice......

My little purchase revealed a surprise straight away...no keys!!! So off I go to the locksmith, wads of dollars in hand....

Mate -is your back shock that bad??
Mine is waay over damped and seems to be slapping me in the backside over the bumps.
Hey do ya think maybee the weight distribution when in race mode might be a bit too much front biased
