Well the Carole Nash van turned up at 12.00 today with my bike. Woohoo!
New fairings, left, right, front and back, new gear lever, foot peg, mirror, fairing brackets, handle bar and some other stuff
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.
(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.
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.

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

That is bloody gorgeous - puts mine to shame
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. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

The fibre has gone now. Also changed the tank for a better condition one although the one in the pic looked fine it was dog rough up close. |
