I use Cree LEDS quite often for other work, they're great. Keep em cool to make them last longer (on the bike this shouldnt be an issue)

I had never heard of this particular LED bulb setup, I thought there had to be some sort of LED replacement to drop straight in, Looks like it has turned a crappy headlight into something that may actually be usuable out on the open road where there is no street lights
There is a good review/fitment video ere but WTF???, HULK SMASH, Still in his PJ's?>
Same feckin BELB as is ed torch

The other day I received a new Factory Pro ( CRB-K77-1.1-TI ) carb kit from the USA, It is the slightly more expensive kit with the Titanium needles
I got it for $100US including postage to Aus, Not bad considering the retail is normally $169US + postage
Basically took it out of the mail box & opened it up & laid it all out on the table & got started straight away
After doing the clean air mod / Float bowl mod it was running a bit rich with the 180 / 200 main jets so now I have gone back to 170 / 180 jets
I slid the new needles in (They are slightly different for the inner & outer cylinders, More fuel for the inner cylinders basically) & put the clips in the middle position for now
The pink sheet that comes with the Factory Pro kits have a diagram showing what jets & settings race teams have used on the same bike so I went with the one that had the same elevation (around sea level) & set it up the same, Only takes about 5 mins to remove the carby's now & about another 10 mins to put it all back together re-jetted with the new needles also
Fired it up & it is real snappy now, It was obviously a bit too rich before & hesitated a tiny bit due to the extra fuel it did not need, There is certainly no hesitation now & it revs out nicely
Its running & sounding more like a formula 1 car compared to how it was when I got it, Sounded like it was a diesel engine almost

Here you's go, Thought I would add this, A bit of a guide which may help others, Would be pretty similar for the ZX9 too

Awesome, well done matey
I will have a matching rear master cylinder reservoir soon>
These should suit many other bikes including ZX9 ZX7 maybe ZX6 & GSXR BUELL etc etc, Rear master cylinders that have the circlip style reservoir fitting

05 FORKS N SWINGARM, 08 REAR CALIPER, 08 FRONT CALIPERS
SPACERS TO FIT THE ZX10 SWINGARM INTO THE ZXR HAVE BEEN MACHINED, SWINGARM WILL GO IN TOMORROW
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps233ee028.jpg
05 WHEELS (BRAND NEW FRONT WHEEL HAS NEVER HAD A TYRE FITTED BEFORE) LARGER ZX14 FRONT DISCS
WAITING ON A SET OF CALIPER & DISC BOLTS TO ARRIVE
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps82ffd4ed.jpg
BILLET TOP CLAMP, WILL BE DRILLED FOR BAR MOUNTS (THE IGNITION IS BACK IN THE CENTER TOO)
NOT BAD BRAND NEW FOR $126.45 INCL POSTAGE FROM THE USA
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psf68768ac.jpg
THE SHOCK IS LIKE NEW
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23372c1c.jpg
This will be the next stage maybe after rego, Just need to find a ZX6 09+ subframe & taillight & graft it on>
I picked up a brand new in the box ZX6 09-13 Powerbronze $293 RRP seat for $100 & the Armour Bodies 09+ ZX6 single seat tail for $155 with pretty fresh paint
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3ce1f15b.jpg
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psee475755.jpg
ya got some good lookn stuff there dude. good work on that top clamp.
mmm goodies
Too impatient, I just fitted the swingarm & the rear wheel n caliper, Shock will go in tomorrow I spose & thats the rear end done
Waiting on an as new ZX10 black front guard & an Allballs ZXR 750 steering bearing kit to slide onto the ZX10 triple clamps, Hopefully they will be here tomorrow & I can start on the front end?
The ZX10 shock is in, The lower triple clamp now has a ZXR 750 tapered bearing, The forks are sitting in place with the front wheel & a new black front guard fitted, waiting on the top clamp to get here then the front end can be finished off
I have been slowly collecting the parts (when they pop up cheap on ebay) to put together some new stock rearsets & I finally have all the parts
I got hold of some brand new (NOS) brakets, Billet pegs, Peg mounts, Footpeg pins & circlips, Gear lever, Link rod setup & bushs for the brake pedal & gear lever, They are about as new as can be, The brake pedal is the only secondhand part
Gave the brackets, Gear lever & brake pedal a quick polish
Would be nice to find some aftermarket preferably black rearsets of some type but did not want to spend hundreds on them just yet, Anyone know of a nice reasonably priced aftermarket option? ZXR 750 & ZX7 use the same rearsets so should be a few different types available? The stock rearsets I have would be valuable to someone doing a stock style restoration on a ZXR 750 or ZX7

Little bit of progress, I dont like the gold forks much with all the other black going on, They will more than likely be polished soon
I have a new 520 EK MVXZ chrome chain on the way & I am still waiting on the top triple clamp to turn up, Its going through customs now so I will hopefully have it tomorrow or next week then I can get the bars back on, I have changed my mind enough here & there but the latest change was well worth it, Its time to get the little bits left to do sorted & get it on the road, I will change the tail after that
I like how the satin black frame & swingarm look & the front guard meet the satin black sides to the gloss black in the middle up to the tank & tail (when the tank is fitted anyway) The ZX10 black front guard just ties it all together nicely, Not the best pic but you's will see what I mena later on with some better pics
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1468122e.jpg
looks good dude.
paint the forks black too.
it needs more black.
Yeah the lower triple clamp is now black, I thought about doing the forks black but I was thinking it might be a bit too much black? Especially when the tank is back on, It is already painted in fresh gloss black the same time the tail was done
I removed just about everything possible to paint the frame but left the motor in, Lots of masking up & it looks good, You would not be able to tell really when it is all back together, I would like to rebuild either another ZXR 750 motor or get hold of a ZX9 motor for it soon so I could finish off the frame quite easily later on
I got the bar mounting sorted on the new billet triple clamp, Little bit of milling needed to be done & it is all good now, I will get some updated pics later at some stage
Also fitted another new EK 520 MVXZ chrome chain as the old one to suit the ZXR swingarm was too short with the ZX10 swingarm fitted so I will have to sell it I spose
I did not want to use the typical ZX9 clutch & brake master cylinders (because I dont like the reservoirs ending up angled) so I got hold of a set of 06-11 ZX14 clutch & brake master cylinders for $60AU Including postage from the UK, The US is generally cheaper & they sell for around/average $100ea + postage over there so I got a bargain
The ZX14 brake master cylinder will be more suited to the 08 ZX10 calipers, Another bonus is that I can fit my billet reservoirs from the ZXR master cylinders, The clutch side has a billet reservoir fitted & has been connected & bled & works fine, Should work better then the stock ZXR clutch master cylinder, Feels like there is more leverage/lighter feeling & probably a more progressive feel to the clutch
I like how the brake & clutch master cylinders & levers are symmetrical ;)
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psf7691ac8.jpg
I just received a set of ZX14 shorty billet levers to fit also>
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7205f3c0.jpg
they are good masters mate i have a set for mine.
look into res's of the gtr1400 same master but nice intergrated res's if u want something else
Thanks Ozzy, The GTR reservoirs look OK but I have a pair of billet reservoirs from Germany that take up much less room & look sweet>
As mentioned the clutch side (reservoir) is already fitted & connected & working great, I am about to fit the shorty ZX14 levers tonight, I will get rid of the stock ZX14 levers, They may be comfortable but they are way too long

To right the stock levers are gayer than Banditrods left nut and that's gay
Got rid of the long gay levers & fitted the shorty levers, Much better now, Need to sort out some front brake hoses now/again
Progress has been slow or almost non existant at the moment, I have been sorting out another (dirt) bike & got it on the road, Waiting on some slightly taller bar mounts then I can sort out the front brake hoses to suit the ZX10 calipers & ZX14 master cylinder
I had the ZXR 750 rear hose modified to work with the ZX10 Caliper & swingarm setup & got it fitted a & made a little reservoir for now

Anyone know how this project is going now?
He end up parting it out wen I found this bike on eBay I got the bars risers and lines off him as you will see on my welcom to the madness for my zxr750.he had the headers sell brand new for like $150 if I recall right,think he was sick mate and never bothered to finish it and sold it off
Bugger; he had a really good thing going there.
I'm sure I bought an engine off him a while ago but he said but was a spare.
Ok yeah I remember asking about the front end but he had it sold and the headers and muffler was listed I should of got that back brake line as well.il buy a new one sometime
