Jim's ZXR750 Build

[JimZXR]

Few bits to do but we'all get there!

[JimZXR]

OK, fitted air box and tank, fired it and she ran.

Choke stuck wide open, pushed it back but still need a permanent fix.

Used 'ON' side of fuel tap; leaked, so used 'RES'; got to get a fuel tap rebuild kit.

Started it on 'RES' with no choke; BOOM, she fired! After a few minutes the temptation got too much so I hopped on and took it down the road and back, only the bottom of 1st and 2nd but what a feeling! Can't believe the difference in the comfort and feel of the bike now it's fightered! Mrs isn't too please as I went out without fear on but can see how happy I am so think it'll pass quickly!

So to recap I've fired it and given it a test ride but now have at least two more things to do before it's done, but I suppose only 1 is needed for rego!

Huge thanks to Yella for getting me to this point, kudos buddy!

Bought and fitted a chain guard today along with some brackets to hold the brake lines steady.

Got a fuel tap rebuild kit ready to collect at Kawasaki.

Already planning small changes and upgrades to make the bike more mine.

Hahaha I have that kind of list to Jim, its on a small note pad in my tool box so the missus doesn't see how much I got to do

[JimZXR]

Picked up the fuel tap rebuild kit today so I can stop the leak soon.

Tightened down the brake line holders so no mor eflapping brake lines either!

Hopefully get the tank back off this week and get the few remaining jobs done under it then can concentrate on the finishing touches for rego

[JimZXR]

OK, so a very productive day today and I've almost got the bike ready for rego.

Only have to calibrate the Acewell dash, torque check all nuts and bolts and for the horn.

Photos and more details to follow after rego and first ride.

Bike looks killer and not one photo upside down. Nice work

[Shadowzone]

Bike looks great.

Can you ride it yet or is the shoulder still rooted?

[JimZXR]

Shoulder has recovered but still on a wife imposed ban until after holiday!

[Simo74]

Looking good, nice work

[JimZXR]

Thanks.

Next jobs on the list after rego are to fit the belly pan, fit the undertray, close up some holes in the tail unit, wrap my ZX9R headers and look into a shorty can for a low side exit exhaust like an S1000RR or Fireblade.

[LKC73]

On ya Jim, looking very cool mate. Bet you cant wait for rego!

[JimZXR]

Just rode my bike into work and HOLY SHIT it feels amazing! So much better than when it was faired.

The Acewell dash is calibrated and seems to have me going a tad fast compared to other road users but thinking it's just more accurate compared to their speedos.

Throttle response seemed a little fluffy at the higher end of the revs so thinking it may be a jetting issue as it doesn't have the full ram air system on it now.

Still have plenty of work to do to it but looking forward to having it back on the road again soon.

Mental how light the front end gets with dirt bars
