Shiny ZX12R

Spent a few hours cleaning the 12 on Sunday. Pics havent come out all that great as my 18-55mm lense is knackered so had to take these from about 20 feet away with my 70-300mm tamron doh! Doesnt show just how shiny the paintwork is at all Sad

Basically gave it a wash, Autoglym polish followed by Meguirs wax, as well as a good dosing of WD40 and GT85 on the metal bits. Missed a few places which is annoying, but the bikes there to be ridden and will look a state in a couple of weeks anyway!

Comes up well for a 5 year old Kawasaki Very Happy

Only mods so far are helibars. Got a Quill exhaust which should arrive tomorrow, and keeping an eye on a Corbin seat on ebay. Other than that, I'm planning on getting some clear or smoked indicators and an LED tail light then leaving well alone.

Nice but it's a bit...well...green. Confused

Would look good with black wheels. Thumbs Up

Nice.

But you do need something to brea all the green apart. White/blakc would be good.

I always find faired bikes have to have several or at least 2 colours. Or some sort of graphics yet nakeds look good being all one colour. Thinking

(Probably because it's all broken up!)

Good call with the Quill exhaust, expensive but very nice quality. Thumbs Up

Might have been worth keeping the ninja decal on it... Looking clean though...
