Ben, you hero you! I'm a lame bastard and don't get that mag, so what were you up to? Or is it just your advert? Have you gone for the cheesy grin bike saleman pose? You'd do well with that mate.

Hey ExBen, I hadta buy that issue as well, had a flick thru it at the newsagents & saw ZXR/ZX9R, I'm about to do the same thing to mine so I thought there could be a handy hint or two.
Well, started readin' the ar-tickle & Bugger Me Quietly, it's a C motor [:0] Nice work mate.
The write up said that you had to pump the frame spars out to get the motor in, did that alter the steering head angle?
Anyhoo, I've heard a lot of people say a B model ZX9 motor bolts straight into a ZXR L, can anyone confirm that 'coz that's what I had in mind. (I'm not as clever as Ben [V])
B.T.W. sweeeeeet CF tailpiece mate, self supporting an' all [:p]
If anyone hasn't checked out the mag (Rapid), go to your local newsagent & have a look at Ben's 'Fighter it's a class bit of kit allright & the best part is IT'S NOT A GIXER [:0][:0][:0] (That should get the hate mail rolling nicely :D)
Onya Benno, you've really raised the bar for the rest of us now :((Fuckin smartarse...... mumble...mutter..)

Thanks for the kind words fellas,Turbokat the B model pretty much goes straight in the L frame with slight mods to the front engine mounts (drill them out bout half a hole)& some slight relieving with a dremmel around the oil line to the head.A customer of mine has just done it & he said he couldn,t believe how easy it was.The C model is considerably more work ( bout a $1200 conversion) the reason I went that way was because the C engine is 9kg lighter than the B,Oh & I got it cheap off ebay...Gotta love Ebay:D.To answer your question bout the head angle,No I didn't change It cause I only had to modify the inner half of the frame rails.
Cheers
