Well the Carole Nash van turned up at 12.00 today with my bike. Woohoo! Very Happy

New fairings, left, right, front and back, new gear lever, foot peg, mirror, fairing brackets, handle bar and some other stuff Very Happy

Really pleased to have it back, got another tank to put on it as the one it's got is scruffy as hell, so I got one off ebay. Got to buy a helmet tomorrow. Gonna have a few little rides to get used to it again (as I'm sure how confident I'll be after the crash) and then some big rideouts!!!

Got to have the top end checked out and it needs down pipes (I'll get a full system soon). The wheels need powder coating and a few other things need doing, but I'm chuffed to have it back. Thumbs Up

(The Gixxer came back after having the forks OK'd too! So I'll be selling that soon to pay for the exhaust.)

Now that's a pretty Kwakka. Very Happy

I have to say I love the 'plain' paintjob's, especially when the fairing alone looks as good as the zxr's.

I always think kwaks look better when they are not green.

Lovely bike. Thumbs Up

Thanks guys.

The red (mine) one is my fav I think, green is well, a bit predictable. Some bikes look great plain and I think this is one of them bikes Thumbs Up

Although I'll be getting some decals (Shoei, A-stars etc) for under the Kwak logo on the fairing. (only a few though). Thumbs Up

sweet !!

thats the best colour they ever did for the kwak.pretty rare too!!
i think they only did it for 1 or 2 years,

i was searching for one just like that for ages, and ended up with my gixxer4!!

Only ever seen 1 or 2 in this colour on the road. There's one going on ebay at the moment.

Nice one

I just bought a new plastic part for my ZXR4, it looked nice and shiny and makes me want to buy a full new set of plastics.. bit pricey though Smile

Looks nice Thumbs Up

What happened to it before?

Flip · Super Spammer Joined: 28 Feb 2004 Karma :

The old 'old man in a Yaris + junction + "I didn't see you" trick'. Confused

Totally p1ssing down with rain pulled an e-stop, front wheel went. The thread from November is around somewhere.

Bike. Fairing ruined, bent left handle bar, bent left foot peg etc Me. broken arm etc..

£1101 worth of damage. (not including my lid etc). Shocked

On a bike like that, I'm actually surprised it wasn't a lot more!
Glad its a happy biker and you're a happy biker again Karma

Flip · Super Spammer Joined: 28 Feb 2004 Karma :

Cheers dude. Karma

That is bloody gorgeous - puts mine to shame Embarassed

I am now officially ashamed to own a zxr that has a little bit of predictable kwakky green on it.

That is probably the sexiest ZXR400 I have ever seen. Thumbs Up

The fibre has gone now. Thumbs Up

Also changed the tank for a better condition one although the one in the pic looked fine it was dog rough up close.
