Thought I would post a couple of pics of my current steed.
Owned since April this year.

25,000 on the clock and pretty much standard except for few things as follows:
Akrapovic full system
K&N Filters
Hugger
Undertray and Led rearlights

Happy with it as it is but always open to thoughts and ideas!

Andy

The undertray and lights look much better than standard.

Couldnt agree more on the undertray and lights. Lights look great in the dark as well...hard to capture in a photo though.
Only fitted them two weeks ago. Really pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks guys

Andy

Not the best pic but gives an idea:

Old school cool, don't like the tail lights myself.

For even more cool points fit cast iron disks, AP Racing calipers, and flatslide carbs. Cool

I agree. Love the bike (obviously! Very Happy ) but I'm not a fan of those sort of tail lights, but I am an old fart and just prefer the standard looks of a bike.

I can get a set of cast iron disks and Brembo calipers for my 7 (plus the adaptors), will it really make me even more cooler!? Wink

To be fair....I was originally after just an undertray and also tidy the number plate bracket up a bit.

When I made enquires about the tray I had an offer I couldnt refuse in regard to the lights as well. So I decided to give them a go. Smile

On the subject of brakes....I must admit I have had better. Although it is a heavy bike and I am not exactly small either and can see myself having to throw a lot of money at it to make a difference.

Nice bike. But if it were me, I'd return the rear end to standard.

I do, but I'm looking at maybe getting a ZX7RR to go with the other one I have. Plus I've bought 2 new cars in the past 3 months so I'm a little skint at the moment!!! Laughing

The ZX10 will be going up for sale soon though if you fancy a new race/track bike? Wink Thumbs Up

Very nice bike. I struggled with undertrays for mine as I had an aftermarket solo seat:

https://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff267/yellaninja/Yellow%20ZX7R/SP_A0081.jpg

Looked OK until it detached itself at 160+ Neutral .

I think powdercoated black wheels would go well with your frame though. If you need any parts try Stu at Bikedevils. Knows everything about the 7R and is very easy to deal with.

I always found the 6 pot Tokicos a bit pants, so if you're looking to upgrade anything I'd start there. I missed out on a set of the Nissin RR calipers on eBay about 18 months ago Crying or Very sad .

And Barry, you have too much money and very good taste Cool . Just to let you know I managed to pick up an engine for my 10R for £400 so that's been put in now. I have the old engine up sale for spares if you know anyone?

This was my set up. Not the best fit in places and a little awkward and fiddly to attach the indies and plate too.

Sweet 7R!

I'd be inclined to paint the white in the rear light cluster in green so that it doesn't look out of place. Fair play if the lights are off, having a clear lens cluster goes well with the white.

Thanks again all...nice to get opinons.

@yellowninja. ...looks good...do you get any hassle from the boys in blue with that plate on? I was going to fit similar but really didnt want to attract undue attention.

@whosthedaddy It took me ages to find the tray I wanted...I was worried about fitting the plate and lights etc.

www.bikestyleuk.com was where I went and Russ is a top guy there...highly reccomended.

@jdloyalroyal Will they wheelie....I dont get much more than a light feeling at the front when under heavy acceleration...with it going skyward moderatly if going over a rise...Im 17 stone though and running standard sprockets and not trying to wheelie it though.
If you really wanted to im sure you could but to be honest I think there are better bikes for it if thats what you want to do
Smile

glad I found these forums...was by complete accident too...google rocks Smile

Cheers all

Andy

I don't have that bike anymore ( Crying or Very sad ), but yes that plate got me quite a few £30 fines (I believe the fine has gone up to £60 for naughty plates now). On my subsequent bikes I've fitted smaller than legal 2 liner plates and not had any problems.
