 Posted: 13:55 - 21 Mar 2010 Post subject: My zx6r J1 project. Now with embed'd photos..... |
 |
|
This is a copy of my previous forum, as i've now learnt how to post the photos easier.
I bought the bike last summer, as a low mileage scruffy bike,
After i got it home i cleaned it, and realised i'd managed to find a brilliant bike.
I started with some basic mods, i only have before and after pics of the first few mods.
Now i've started modding again as the season starts again, i've started to do more mods,
Powdercoating my wheels being the main thing.
Anyway, this is my progress so far.
How i bought the bike

After i took it Spain cleaned it properly and fitted some crash bungs and cleaned the indicator lenses
https://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b410/eddie_46/18092009101.jpg
After i'd fitted my undertray/tailtidy, and a few other bits, the bike then stayed like this for a while

https://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b410/eddie_46/My%20pride%20and%20joy/27102009117.jpg
Then i moved back to England, and decided to start changing bits and modding again ready for the season
How it looked when i got it home, before i started the mod's

Silver wheels

Got the bike on the paddock stands, and whipped the wheels off

My dirty swingarm...ewww lol

Wheels off
https://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b410/eddie_46/05032010029.jpg
Prep started for powdercoating, if anybody is thinking about powdercoating, spend the extra £15 and have them shot blasted, the finish in the end will be much better, and a lot less hardwork

Wheels back from powdercoaters, in yummy matt black lol

Wheels fitted to the bike, with new rubber on the back

They work well as crash protection for the tail section! (as ive found out)...
Bike looks gooooood. Mines silver, now i NEED to get the wheels done black! [/quote]
Fingers crossed i won't find out how good protection they are lol
Thanks bud, i like the wheels, i think they make the bike look more agressive in black  ____________________ Kawasaki kx 60 & 80......derbi senda.....rieju MRX .....

Just a quick update,
The bike is currently off road =( gutted with the lovely weather we're having, but the alarm has let me down for the second time, and is being fixed under warranty. Personally i don't recommend the accumen cat 1.1 alarm as mine has broke twice!!!!
My new levers arrived in the post the other morning, so i fitted them, very pleased with them. quality and price as brilliant.
I also bought a set of used lsl rear sets for £85, they are now fitted, and i love them, they make the bike feel 10x's different, in a better way for me. I feel more in control of the bike now, maybe its just because im 6ft 4" and i can get me legs further back i don't know but i love them.
Anyway, as soon as i get the bike back i'll post some more pic's
Ta'ra for now lol. ____________________ Kawasaki kx 60 & 80......derbi senda.....rieju MRX .....

Cool. If I were you my next mod would be getting them leathers tailored, they look about 3 sizes too big. Suppose thats cos your not equally as fat as you are tall
