Hillsy,
Considered changing those bars to something a bit less BMXie?
That fixed brace is just not cricket!
IMHO, I reckon those bars you have make the bike look..... Not as good as it could....! :-)

Hillsy

28-03-2007, 08:17 PM

Hillsy

16-04-2007, 08:15 PM

Did a few other mods, just minor stuff but time consuming...

Removed the BMX cross piece and painted the bars green (why not?)

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/390718080348811.JPG

Put in a remote ignition

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/390718080209727.JPG

Oooww - where's the key go then????

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/390718080252841.JPG

Have got an Acewell instrument pod on order with Exben - which will be the next mod. And then paint the frame black at some stage.

Hillsy

16-04-2007, 08:20 PM

They appear to be pretty good.....well they're leagues better than the half bald mis-matched Bridgestone / Pirelli combo I had on before.

29-05-2007, 02:30 PM

i have seen them advertised but havent spoken to anyone that has used em so keep up the reports so we know. what was the $ like in comparison?

Hillsy

29-05-2007, 04:01 PM

The front retails around $185 and the rear about $290 I think. But I got them cheaper through a one-off deal, so I thought I'd give them a go ;)

Hillsy

27-07-2007, 11:53 PM

Got some rearsets off EBAY - shipped from freakin Thailand (??). Anyway, they appear to be OK quality wise....

The dude even threw in some Yoshi grips for free....

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/104841804238928.JPG

Now I've spent the last couple of hours fitting the mongrels (I'll take some pics tomorrow), and it was a stupid bastard of a job. How so? Well they were actually for a 929 Blade, so pretty well everything had to be tweaked (I bought these because they had the same bolt spacing as the Kwak).
Most notably though, the rose joints on the gear linkage rod were both RH thread - which meant I had to remove the entire rearset to adjust it (not a huge hassle, but just stupid design). And just about every hole had to be enlarged / modified to fit the Kwak frame.
And, as they are race sets, there's no way to fit a standard brake light switch (still thinking about that one).

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/313811440259616.JPG

They sit a bit further back than the stockers (rearsets....DOH!), so I might make up some new mounting plates to bring them forward and down a bit. And the frame needs to be black now for sure...;)

I was just doing a Google search for seat cowls about an hour ago Russ, fairdinkum [:0]

I bought a ZX6 cowl off EBAY a while back which doesn't quite fit right (it was advertised as a ZX9 / ZX6 cowl, but there are subtle differences), and also it's a bolt on one (not a latch type). I want a latch one because I need regular / easy access to the underseat for the coolant overflow and to disable the remote ignition.

I found this one:

http://www.1tail.com/sa/p/TARGA_SOLO_SEAT_COWL_ZX9R_98-00_LIME_GREEN.htm

which appears to be a latch on jobbie - does anyone know if there are any other cowls that are latch on? I think the Pyramid Plastics and Rencullen are both bolt on??

i picked one of these same lights from ebay some where in the uk they cost me around $120 australian bit worried about how they would look but seeing them on a bike looks fantastic in my opinion but i think ill by modifiying the brackets to they seem abit dodgy looking now i know what they will look like on my zx6r

Hey Sparky,

I did the same thing with my bike. I had two tubes going into the bottle. Drilled 2 holes into the lid leaving the bottle whole. The pipe leading from the radiator goes into the bottle till about an inch or so from bottom of bottle, but the second tube is the run off/overflow so that tube doesnt enter the bottle too much.

Hope this helps.
