Project "7 day" sports production zx6r

[CHOPPA]

I thought id put this thread up if anyone is interested in a look but also to get any advice anyone is happy to share and to let everyone know how to go about organising a race bike and who to see to get stuff done! (im no expert so take everything i say with a grain of salt!)


I have been wanting to upgrade my 600 for a while but never gave it that much thought till i saw the damaged 07 zx6r on trade me, im sure you all saw it and 1 kiwibiker nearly beat me on the auction :) so any way the goal is to build up this bike for less then retail price on a new one and race it at the last round of the nationals and NZ TT in just over 7 days!

I won the auction weds afternoon, first thing today (thurs) i went and picked up the bike figured out roughly what i needed and called MR Motorcycles and ordered a couple of little brackets etc the second call was to speed-tech in hamilton to order some trick bits like suspension exhaust etc. I pulled all the broken gear off it chucked on some rearsets and took it for a blast and so far im extremely happy!

If there is any parts anyone is interested in the parts in the picture just let me know cheers

The one thing i can see being a prob is the tacho...? Theres no new ones in NZ, all i really need is the rpm if any one has any ideas for a tacho let me know please! one option is a vapor unit...

You could wire a shift light up using the wiring diagrams I sent you last night.
It's do-able. I built Chris's number 2 bike in 5 days after he wrote a silver ZX6r off on new years day, and had to buy another one.
Give me a yell if you need me to pop down and give you a hand.

hey mate, the Vaypor idea is a good one, I was running mine as my dash for a while, its has everything you need. the only problem being it is a data logger as well, which as far as I know you cannot have on your bike for Nationals racing in NZ

Not totally sure but I think that you may not be eligible to race if you don't have the stock tacho unit fitted anyway??

Thanks mate but i already have one sorted an original but its coming from the states so fingers crossed i get it by the weekend!

[CHOPPA]

bikes lookin a bit cooler! just put on my full titanium akrapovic its hot! ohlins ttx 36 and cartridge kit, and some other bolt on things, doesnt run that sharp cause it needs to be tuned but unfortunatly comp wont be sorted till after the nats

[HDTboy]

I thought Mt Eden had some computers in stock?

[CHOPPA]

they had a few pieces of loom but that is still couldnt afford the 2k they wanted for the rest they could order... standard comp and only mod it a full system

[CHOPPA]

my eyes are hanging out of my head! bike is finally done! looks terrible but its all together it would have been nice to get it tuned and some go fast bits but cant complain it the time we have had!

Will let you know how puke goes on my very first ride on the bike at the nationals!!!

Big thanks to speed-tech.co.nz if they tellied up the hours they have spent id have to sell my house!!! Twice!
