    Sweet, I've just pulled all the fairings off my bike again, which was exactly the same as yours when stock.

    I'm very interested to see how you go with the headlight and dash unit. Got a bunch of questions for ya:

    1) Can I ask what they are, where you got 'em and what they cost?

    2) Does the dash work with the stock fuel gauge and front wheel speedo sensor?

    3) Are you gonna chop the wiring down or just cram it all in behind the light?

    4) Is that a glass or plastic lens on the light?

    Take plenty of pics of how you mount those bits and pieces. I'm keen to hear how good those headlight units are for night riding too.

    Good luck with it mate!

    Hey Loz, hope thanks for your comments, hope this answers some of your questions.


    1) Can I ask what they are, where you got 'em and what they cost?

    Anwer: The Head light is an aftermarket dirt bike light, the dash unit is an ACEWELL ACE-3963, the radiator over flow bottle is an aluminium drinking bottle. I bought the headlight from the bike wreckers, I bought the dash unit from Extreme Creations he is known on this forum as Exben, the water bottle is from Supa Cheap Auto, the blinkers are from MCA. I have also ordered some bar end mirrors from AUSFR he is on this forum as Qikdraw and Ben from Extreme Creations is also changing my bars and fitting some raisers.

    2) Does the dash work with the stock fuel gauge and front wheel speedo sensor?

    Answer:I think It comes with its own speed sensor and fuel gauge?

    3) Are you gonna chop the wiring down or just cram it all in behind the light?

    Answer: Ben from extreme Creations will be doing all the wiring if I'm lucky I might be allowed to pass him the soldering iron.

    4) Is that a glass or plastic lens on the light?
    Answer: It's a Glass lens


    Answerefinately will take heaps of pictures and post them next saturday night
    cheers Rod

    Rod, if you can mount those MCA blinkers on rubber or something similar then do so, Oldskool has had a few of those exact units vibrate to bits on his bike.

    Thanks TK, Ben was talking about the possibility of mounting them to the rubber mounts which will also attach the headlight, so hopefully that will elimininate the problem.

    Here is some more progress photos of My ZX9R, spent yesterday at Extreme Creations where Ben (Exben) weaved his magic, honestly if there is anyone out there who knows more about creating Streetfighters I would be surprised. Worked completed yesterday was the fitting of the digital dash, new headlight, clean up of the wiring, fitting of raisers and flat bars, relocation of ignition and fitting of new overflow bottle. This morning I gave her a respray using rattle can flat and rattle can gloss on the frame.
    cheers Rod
