I thought it was about time too get a new bike, i sold off the 400 as spares and repairs for £700 and decided to stick with the kwaks and get my self a ZX7R as they were the only half decent bike in my tiny price range, iv always wanted one but my insurance would be £1600 right now but in 3 weeks time after i have a year on my license it costs £411... so im waiting whilst i do physio on my broken wrist and cleaning the bike up so its mint when i get too ride it! Mr. Green

So i finally managed too get my hands on a black one, just needs a few things cleaning up and a wash, runs fine and only 26,000 miles! so its time too dish out a bit of money and make it a minter Cool

Here she is!

as you can see she doesnt look too bad but needs a lot of cleaning up and aftermarket parts fitted Smile

before anyone asks about the EXHAUST the reason it looks so odd is because its a jph ducati exhaust welded on by the previous owner... looks silly but sounds awesome.

anyway first things first, i did the clean air mod as any ZX7r owner should! these bikes weigh a ton so every little helps.

https://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o564/pixelguyy/IMG_20130531_115151_zps78491b3c.jpg

as you can see the bikes been sat for a long time, things have got rusty and dull and i decided to give the whole rear end a clean up and refurb.

dirty:

VERY off topic: Did your RST Slice do a good job protecting you? I hope I'll never find out for myself Sad

Nice one fella. Thumbs Up

I seem to be schizophrenic when it comes to ZX7R's, some pictures I love them, and others they look shit.

Yours in black looks brilliant though.

What happened in your accident?

It's good to hear you're back on two wheels. I don't know if I could ride on an open road again after a serious injury.

Nice looking ZX7R, you've got there, clean those six pots, just for sure Thumbs Up

Nice bike. I wish I could be bothered to make my 6r this nice but I'd rather to for a ride and make it dirtier Razz

Just a couple of concerns; the tail light unit won't pass an mot and could get you a fine from the police if they take issue with it. Silicone hose is also pretty dodgy to use in a braking system as it reacts with the fluid.

Nice bike, and tasteful mods.

I've recently fitted a smoked version of that rear lamp to my 7R. Keep your old indicators for MOT though, as they are supposed to be 260mm (I think) apart. At the last MOT the examiner did measure mine.

Are you going to get the wire wheel and high temp paint on those headers? Did mine last weekend and makes the bike look much better.

Looking good.

Just need to add POWAH!

I believe those tail lights are illegal as there's meant to be a certain distance between the indicators, and those tail lights fall foul of it. Can't find the wording online to back that up, so may well be talking rubbish though.
