Howdy all, I posted in the welcome to the madness section,
but I'll put pics in here. This is a 96 ZX7R I purchased awhile ago.
"What the f@#k" I here you say, but perfect for what I want.

then I got it operational, because I bought it with rego
and a RWC so I might aswell be riding the thing, so I rode it around
for awhile. (crap camera phone).

So far so good, when I got it the plan was to whack some
mx bars on it and some crash protection and muck around with some stunting or whatever, then a mate of mine whos a spray painter said we might aswell fix the tank and chuck a coat of paint on it, as the tank dent was now the only cosmetic damage. hhhmmm...

So we've decided to paint, but first I need to do
something with that front guard looks abit funny after I cut
the damaged bit off.

Please tell me you're cutting along that line. Coming along nice otherwise. I especially like the removal of the bent tissuebox fairyings.[8D]

[AyBro7]

Yeah it got cut on the line and blended in to the front

[RED ZX]

very nice.

I like threads like this with progress pics etc.

[AyBro7]

OK, So all those pics are fairly old, its been painted purple for awhile now,
I rode it around purple with the purple wheels for abit then decided to go
with black wheels,thought about polished but too lazy too clean.
Anyway the only other pics are recent ones.

Thinkng of doing a headlight fairing (Buell style) to tidy
up the front or maybe change the whole headlight not sure yet, open to suggestions.

Last one, need to do more with the exhaust, thats a
scorpion I got from a mate, I shortened it but might have another
hack, or try an undermount. Wanna try keep the pillion seat might
biff the handles though, theres always something to change.
Anyway, should be buzzing around the Mornington Peninsula soon,
spend most of winter playing on the dirt bike.
Later

[drewboy]

looks really good. the front guard came up a treat! glad you lost the bent tin fairings, it made her look like an aqua duck model, handy for fishing i suppose. You've got her looking real shmick now though, nice work.
