Posted: 22:11 - 15 May 2006 Post subject: ZXR400 rebuild |
|
|
Hi, as some of you may know I recently crashed my ZXR400. So it gave me a reason to give it a ground up rebuild and sort out. It won't be a very long project maybe a week or two, but I thought I'd post up anyhow.
The furst stage was to strip it right back down to the bare bones, as I plan to give the engine head a bit of a clean out as well.
It is now day 4 of the project and I am already respraying of all the panels ready for the rebuild as I am waiting on parts to arrive such as the engine casing etc...
I have also decided to go for kawasaki green for the new colour as the purple I had before will be hard to match and I didn't really like it. Green isn't original but who cares, Ive got the FZR for originality
The pictures are back to front also so view the bottom first, Cheers Dan ____________________ Don't ride it, RAG IT!! |

Just a quick update with a few more pictures. I went for the sponsored belly pan in the end. Dan ____________________ Don't ride it, RAG IT!! |

Mate, i did my 250 in a similar kinda design albeit black with white numberboard/bellypan. All i can say is DO NOT go crazy with the decals. Once i get a decent enough camera, i'll show you the subtlety of having few decals but still making the bike stand out. Don't clutter the belly pan. Ideally decals should be limited to about 6, done in 2 or so rows of 3 sponsors. I'd be more inclined to put a ninja sticker where you put your silkolene or a "kawasaki" decal. That or just leave it clean. ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &
