My ZX12R

[Jrod]

So had it 2 weeks now and a done few subtle mods.

Gave it a clean so thought I'd grab a few pics on the way home.

Very nice, although can ruins it IMO. Looks like it weighs the bike down

[Jrod]

Personally, I love the size of the can. I think it makes it look like a big bike as its huge!

[Doovy]

the can is quite a big one

interesting colour scheme.. looks quite cool

Looks really good, amazing how much a seat cowl tidys up the rear end on Ninjas, makes it look more angular. Always loved that huge mouth looking vent at the front too.

i love that paint job!

Not so fond of the zorst and im sure it doesnt do the meaty roar of the ninja any favours.

Infact i can see a bhp or two being made form swapping that can out on weight savings alone

Where you get the clear indy lenses? 4 lenses with bulbs are about £40 for the JR.

There's no cheap answer then. I'll put it on my list of things to do next year.

[Jrod]

Guess not but as I wanted to retain a standard look (bit of a change for me eh!) I didn't want to get mini ones.

Fappity Fap Fap Fap...

I stopped to help an oldish bloke the other week with his, came around a corner and there was a 4x4 in the middle of the road and his bke was lying on it's side, I parked up just as the 4x4 left, I got the reg, turns out he'd forgot to put his feet down at the corner and gone a pisser, the 4x4 driver had stopped to see if she could help lol...Apparently he'd done it alot through his biking life

All he'd done was scratched the right mirror, the right fin at the bottom of the fairing and the very tip of the end can...

Heavy to pick up?

Those wings should work as good bungs if you drop the bike at a very low speed, they are replaceable but still probably cost a bomb.

[Handsome]

Wasn't to bad actually...

The mirror edge would have been easy enough to smooth out, the fin hadn't cracked just scuffed so blowing it over would have done, as for the can it wasn't really noticable, I think he must have been suprised by the weight and sort of lay it down as best he could tbh...

I love black (with metalic-y blue) and gold. looks great.

Those super-super bikes definately have a presence about them

PS. Who totaled the no entry sign? lol

Really nice bikes these, don't seem to see any about too often too.

Am I the only one that is always reminded of the early RSV when looking at the side view?
