    ZX9-R stage 1 completed (new pics)

    Hi guys and ladies.
    I have been busy playing with my project and also trying to get around some red tape and Vic Roads imcompetence.
    Anyway, I have posted some pics of my progress so far.
    The black fly screen wil be getting some orange paint on it soon.
    It will be staying like this untill I get it on the road.
    For that I have to get a VIV certificate and a engineer certificate regarding my lights. Its a long story.
    Please let me know what do you think of my project so far.

    Cheers.

    The color is KTM Orange with a touch of gold pearl over it.
    Hard to notice the pearl effect so far.

    Hi there.
    The screen is a genuine 2007 Triumph item.
    I also used the standard headlights mounting brackets and modify it to take my instruments.
    The lights are aftermarket.
    I used an ABM top clamp, and fat bars.
    That and a few more bits come from Stu at Austreetfighters.

    Cheers

    Looking good! Very nice. My 12r used to be that colour but didn't do the pearl effect....

    I reckon you should leave the visor black mate, it looks clean and breaks things up a bit.

    I tend to argee with zx12argh as well mate. Painting the screen orange will add a lot of visual weight to the bike. The black is not a problem as you have the black theme in the shape of the forks, the seats, the engine and the undertray. If it was blue then you'd have a problem!

    I agree with these blokes and maybe paint the hugger black too.And your brake lines look a little convoluted to me .

    Hi there HueyonaBlade.
    I have had the bike for nearly 2 months.
    What takes the longer is waiting for parts, but that can't be helped.
    The rims are at this stage just polished. Haven't decided if I will get it Nickel plated or not.
    I did my XJR1300SP wheels and it come up quite nice.
    I actualy did sub-contract for the boys at Electromold a while back dismantling customer bikes and general maintenance.

    Hi there sickboy.
    I am having problems making these brake lines look neat.
    I think that I got issues.
    On being the lenght being too long and the other is the bend on the banjo fitings.
    I might have to contact Stu and ask what can be done about it.

    Thank you for looking
