May be worth finding a metal wax, belgom alu is sposed to be good after youve polished them up to keep the shine for longer.

ZZR lon, whats the drill with doing them then, just add nitromors, leave wash off and then polish up with solvol?

You just glue your wheel weights back on after?


Ah and is Nitormors bad on the rubber?

i applied the nitromors with a paint brush on the area i wanted to strip.
left it for 10mins then rubbed it off with a ( stainless scourer as it doesn't scratch the ally) Thumbs Up
had to reapply on some stubborn bits though.

the paint is very thin and comes off quite easy.
then it was a case off a good rub with solvol and a rag and 5mins per side it was done.

as with most things a little care is needed and if you deflate the tyre you can minimize the contact with the tyre but i had no probs.

the disc's are stealth and cost around £185 delivered they seem fine especially with the top end ferodo pads and nissin 6pots and brembo master:up:


as for wheel weights i use dynabeads which go inside the tyre and balances the wheel perfectly so no unsightly lumps of lead Thumbs Up


i may apply some ally protection but ill see how they go and how much attention is needed to keep them nice.

think the swinger will get the treatment next and ill make it match the black frame as it looks wrong in silver.


the mirrors are to help with stability at 200mph lol
they are rather large and ive been looking for replacements but some ive seen look far worse on the 12

REALLY nice finish on those wheels!!! Thumbs Up
I'd love to have a go, but not sure if I'd have the time or motivation to keep them looking like that

its an A1 zx12r with a pc and a pipe

so i dont need proof as its about there in standard trim Thumbs Up


and as said all you have done is turn your nice bike into a hairdressers bike.
all gaudy crap that improves nothing

you should have spent the money on suspension and set up but that would be wasted as you have no idea what im talking about Thumbs Down

now go away

as rear wheel hp goes that will do nicely then Thumbs Up

ill add 5hp to that 160 as you have found the lowest quoted figure.
around 165 is often quoted as standard then add 15% for transmission loss etc that takes it to 185ish then a pc ignition advancer + pipe bmc's and some other little bits and bobs and i must be about right then.

kawasaki claimed 188 at the crank for the a1 but the who cares really.

ps this thread was about polished wheels but if you would like to see what bhp a 12r can put out try zx12 forum and you will see some big figures.

as for 210kg the 12r has a strong frame Thumbs Up

Slight dig at my frame? Wrong, you'll find the K5-K6 1000's had the recall. Try again.

i dont need to have a dig at you there all weaker than they used to be to get them lighter weather its a k5 or a k9.

but if you think you won a victory that's fine with me at least you shut up about bhp Thumbs Up


your still probabley going to crash into the back of a car while your looking at you reflection in the shop window so you will no doubt test that frame Laughing
