My ZXR project

[TillerRider]

Ok you all know me for my TLR, well a while back my brother gave me a Kawa ZXR750 that had already had the basic's done. (for painting and on going painting of his bikes)
well a long story short I wasn't happy with it the way it was, so here it is mocked up with what I have so far

Love those masks except they have crap lighting

[ALBI]

hmmmm colour ??

[Bob]

Good stuff mate, Like the mask/tail combo

[TillerRider]

the mask was given to me by Luke, as the tail section is a custom made unit based off a CBR1000 with a hand made grafted onto it, I'd post more pic's but having trouble with the computer at this point

[TillerRider]

5372
this is kind of the idea for the paint on the mask (taken from the game Army of TWO)
5373
this is where I have relocated the key, while I like where it is I think I'll move it further into the side panel

[TillerRider]

don't plan on doing aot of night riding Jules

[wackyrider]

Fair enough then. Always loved the look of the masks, but never been game to put one on one of my bikes

[Yella]

[LKC73]

[TillerRider]

[TillerRider]

[wackyrider]

Come on, we need pics!!!!

[Gix11]

What size are the photos mate? If you're trying to upload 5mb+ giant images it won't happen. Check the file size of the photos and reduce them if necessary and try again.

tank prepped and ready for paint

[TillerRider]

the plan I had in my head didn't work out in practice, this is how it turned out.
It looked like a Ninja Turtle the way I painted it before so I did it this way!

the mask to me looks better then I expected.

the tanks could probably do with more detail, I'm abit over it and want to get it together now and rego it, so I can work on stage 2 of its build

the tail piece I'm happy with but like the tank I could have put more effort in with the detail
I'll put it all on the bike monday after work and see how it looks

[JimZXR]

I think that's a ZX7R you've got there, not a ZXR750? Tank looks ZX7 and the frame has two inlets whereas the ZXR only had one on the left on the L model or non on previous models.

Likin your paint on the mask, how does it look on the bike?

[TillerRider]

Jim the bike is a 91 I blanked off the ugly "snorkel" inlet pipes the lead from behind the mirrors to the top of the tank the two "holes" you see at the front of the frame are just to let the wiring pass through
anyway it a Kawasaki 750 lol

[TillerRider]

5450
5451
5452
just a few pic's of the bike together, spent most of my arvo cleaning up the wiring under the tank area and connecting up the headlight.

[Bob]

that's cool.

[TillerRider]

that's cool.
Thanks Bob

[Yella]

Love it

[TillerRider]

Thanks Ian, now I gotta rebuild the front brakes and put the new chain/sprockets on the rego.

[TillerRider]

Hey guys!
The fighter is now ready for rego but funds are short so it'll have to wait for abit! can anyone help me with the brand of dash I have on it? I would like to adjust some stuff on it! i'll try and attach a pic of it.

thanks Tim!

[TillerRider]

ok it's been ages since I got the bike painted and the brakes sorted. Iv'e had it out on the road a few times and really I don't like the finished result of the paint and the tank decided to spring a leak so its effectively fucked the paint, right now as it sits the bike is stripped of what panels it had and getting ready for painting yet again (watch this space)
on a side not the ALT/stator popped its o-ring a now pisses oil out so its now waiting for a replacement as well :(

[JimZXR]

Bike looks awesome, you changing the colour now or just reprinting it the same?
