hey i have one of those headlights i just put on too. do you find the headlights flicker a bit at idle? it goes away once youre rolling but they go a bit weird at idle. and i have the brackets angled down a bit. and am about to hit em with the matt black[]
I haven't actually ridden it at night yet (only got the wiring finished last night), but just having it idling on the sidestand it doesn't seem to flicker. Maybe it's a vibration thing with yours (??).quote:Originally posted by pt

Those brackets will look heaps better black - which was what I originally had in mind, but I had some alloy laying around so I made plates to hide the wiring (there's a fair bit on the ZX9).
Good decision Hillsy, welcome to the world of excess horsepower - Team Green
where did you get your headlight? or is it the acerbis one and im just not seeing it? And congrats on a well made purchase!
Looking good Hillsy!
Mate pulling that headlight unit as close to the forks as possible is definitely the way to go, gives the front end a really solid look.
That mod is on my list of things to do, I haven't got much room to move mine in, but anything would be better than the long mounts that are on there now.
Keep up the good work mate.[
Hi addilack, got it off EBAY from a guy in Bris for $60 buy it now. Did a search for "streetfighter" and up it popped. It's a TopGun item - most bike / accessory shops would probably be able to get one too.quote:Originally posted by addilack

Looking the goods but cant wait to fighter my 250
brrrt brrrrrrrrt
I had the same light on my CBR. The connectors to the light sockets crack off from the vibration of hard riding and shitty roads pretty fast. If I had it back I'd of bought a different dual light setup.
Have to agree with newf i had the same on my
blade and the light was shit and the connector wires snapped off.
I ordered this one today for my R1 it was
137 sterling but the light will be good out of it
cos here in ireland the weather aint that good
so i need a good headlight fairing and the one
that i had on the blade just don't cut it for me.
hey mate, ur z`s lookin great. i have an acerbis setup similar 2 urs, but it has bad lights 4 nite, thats why i bought the newie. dunno if u can mod the bulbs or s`thin? keep the progres pic~s comin
What the fuck are you doing up at 5am on a Saturday Strawb?
i have 2 start work at 6-7am, and work is an hr away. so it`s a bit hard 2 sleep in saturdays dammit!!!!!ok by sunday tho!
oh, put the yoshi on this morn, sweeeet! havent cut it down yet. bought it off puppet and yep....it fits
Ahhhh...that's better. Got the crosser bars mounted - heaps more comfy!
Here's how it looks from the top
The zx9 front hose was a one piece affair which couldn't be extended, so I found an early zx6 hose that was a bolt up type. Put a longer top hose on and she bolted straight on - even the mounting holes for the splitter matched (!!)
Hmmm......it's just begging for shorty can now....
hillsy just bought one of those headlight units for the zx7r just wondering if you wired the low beam to the centre set and the high beam to the outer two?
Yep, I did that. The inner ones are brighter and more spotlight-ish and the outer ones are more diffused / floodlight. Having said that, the lights aren't real bright, though.quote:Originally posted by WATEVR

The headlight switch on the ZX9 will only run one set for either hi or lo-beam, but the pass switch on the left switch-block will run both sets. Don't know if you'll run into the same problem with your ZX7.
I'm going to have a play around with the wiring loom to try and get both sets on with the hi-beam switch.
Anyone got a wiring diagram for a 2000 ZX9?
