Posted: 16:04 - 06 Jan 2005 Post subject: My zxr400L project |
|
|
Well some of you know I bought a zxr400 L3 (1993) off ebay not too long ago. The body work was really tatty and have cracks and scuffs everywhere. A photo of it below before the work....

Just to give a few of its specs...
Full stainless steel micron system
Race rearsets
Brand new gold chain
New dunlop tyres
Crash bungs
downgeared loads
Braided hoses all round and the calipers have been upgraded to zzr600's
Anyway, I decided to strip the fairings off the zxr and attempt the respray my self...

Thats just the back end resprayed and once I laquered it, it looked terrible. So I contacted a friend (Hex off here) and asked him to sort them for me...
I have just got the fairings back and fitted them along with some stickers I found on ebay.

It has came out really well, much better than I could have ever done with spray cans. I just wish I had sent the tank off to get resprayed too... it has a zx10 look dont you think |

You can never go wrong with Black!
I think a big gold Ninja sticker at the bottom of the fairing would had looked better though. ____________________ My bikes are at https://www.bikepics.com/members/dynamight/ |

Yes it was in essesx, and I think I got a bargain I bid £900 expecting to get outbid but I guess no one bid on it because it looked so shabby. The brake discs aren't actually that warped so I will probably keep them for a while. I picked up a generator for £30 so the battery etc will be charging (as soon as the generator arrives).
I haven't really ridden it since I got it other than around the block. So if there are any other problems I haven't found them yet. It seems alot quicker off the line than my other standard geared zxr4, very happy with my purchase so far. |

If it is, i've got no hope! |

It won't be for sale until the end of the track day season By then it will probably look a slightly different shape. |

So did you have a profesional respray or did Hex DIY it? ____________________ Yamaha SZR660 Caution to the wind, the throttle pinned! |

PS it looks gorgeous with the gold chain and black bodywork, but I agree with above that the tank is a slight shame =P
Still, wanna swap bikes? ____________________ Yamaha SZR660 Caution to the wind, the throttle pinned! |

Lovely paint job mate, just out of curiosity how much did the respray cost you? ive been thinking of getting mine done as although the green/white/blue isnt that bad looking id prefer all black similar to yours! ____________________ Hear Thy Call..............................
