By any chance you don't have the old left indicator intact and spare do you?

Yeah I do... Are you needing one for your bike? No problems if you do, only thing is does your ZXR have the big front indicators or the smaller aftermarket ones? (If you could post a pic of them I can tell you).

The smaller ones that I have only require a hole about 1cm at the most to fit the smaller indicators... which may prove difficult if your fairings have the larger holes for the big indicators... (Hard to explain... sorry)

Also my spare indicator is Carbon fibre looking, so possibly won't go with your bike... But if your still keen let me know and we'll sort something out :)

Edit: Just looked at your pic in your profile. My spare indicator will not fit in those holes for the larger indicators... but good news... I have both my old indicators which are the same size as the ones you have on... if you need one or both or whatever let me know :)

Sweet as... Just text us when you wanna pop over :)

[placidfemme]

good effort.

hehe thanks :) We'll see how well the spray paint holds up after its been on there a while...

The front/top fairing was spray painted black by Jono when we were originally fixing it from write off... and it lasted a few months before it started to look faded and had water marks on it... so by winter it may need another coat...

[DMNTD]

Ka pai e hoa,Rangi would be proud of you Tam!! Bleh bleh bleh!!
Looks a heap better and shit loads of fun to do eh bro?

Not far now and there'll be another hori looking Kwaka to join its ranks so get ready to go cruising...oh,not "cruising" :innocent:

Yeah I considered that option recently... need to sand and prep (plastic welding, bogging) the fairings first... many hours of work... plus you need a compressor or whatever to spray with... out of my budget right now... so spray paint out the can will have to do :)

[DMNTD]

great my bike went so your bike spat your tubby ass off just to be like mine!

Hey! My arse ain't tubby....voluptuous maybe but not tubby! :shutup:

Oh it basically means...very good mate

Have compressor and spray gun. You do the prep and supply the paint. Squirting on paint takes no time - it is the prep work.
