zzr project

love that green

[streetfighter 0]

think the colours will look tops

[madcarper 0]

ok havent had much time to work on bike bit hectic at work.
had to modify my infill panels when i put new yokes on (slightly fatter than origonals).

started painting wheels in the green and black pearl first white base

then the green pearl

then mask up and black pearl stripn mask up and black pearl strip

BOLLOCKS pulled of edging tape and its marked the green pearl so did not bother to clearcoat.
decided its too much work to put right so new plan (whole bike jet black)



decided i am fitting zx9 swinger too as its 30mm longer from wheel spindle to pivot point which will help to keep front end down 30mm is not to much stretch so it should not affect handling to much if it does i can slide the forks up the yokes to shorten the wheelbase a bit.
will have to make a jig to swap the shock linkage mounts, quite a bit of work but worth it for the weight i will save using the much smaller zx9 caliper/disc caliper mount and ditching the torque arm plus it really tidies up the backend,and gets rid of them concentric adjusters.
will also have to get a new bush made to use zzr pivot spindle as the zx9 spindle screws into the frame and bush.

gave the engine a good steam clean looks a bit tatty now more work!

anyone see any problems with any of this just shout up i can use all the help i can get cheers Ian.

was'ent to bad the hardest part was cutting out the mounts had to borrow a alluminium cutting disc from the caravan repair shop next door, but it could only cut so far in had to finnish off with a hacksaw," talk about arm pump" had to sit down for 15 minutes,had all me thermals on was sweating like pig.

[stantheman 0]

[madcarper 0]

not sure yet mark either polish or paint. thanks mike i figuered it would go with the gold forks.

[day101 0]

Just looked through this, cant wait to see the finished bike!

[madcarper 0]

got my swingarm welded up

cracking welds but decided to make a couple of infill pieces for the sides of the mounting so as to stiffen it a bit more and neaten the job up,


was going to get it powdercoated but decided i wanted to clean up the welds and try to smooth it out a bit so decided to paint instead so etched and primed it should look nice gloss black.

also just sent my nitron shock away to have mounting altered and serviced and set up.

[madsod 0]

love it very nice work that

[lee1 1]

[Tony nitrous 0]

Excellent project,

Looking good....

[stantheman 0]

looking really nice ian

[madcarper 0]

just got my shock back from nitron fully serviced modified and set up for my weight also got the spring changed for a black one, tis a thing of beuty methinks. just a shame you can't see much of it when it's on the bike.


no clearance issues i can see and everything lines up ok.bikes a little tall but i can shorten the shock a little more to drop the back plus the weight of the engine is going to drop it a bit.


going to put the gas resovoir for shock under the seat so nice and tidy.
nipped up to edinburgh bike show and picked up this headlight really pleased with it nicely made and finished.

[madsod 0]

[streetfighter 0]

thats gonna be one nice ride

[haveugot1 0]

Looks sweet ian. See u got a super sprocket on gravelrash has just bought one after seeing mine. Bet it rides well when finished.

[madcarper 0]

cheers lads,standard rear sprocket is 45 teeth this one has 48!!! for a bit more acceleration if i can keep the front down that is.bloody hope it rides well mark lots of blood sweat and tears not to mention money going into this. sometimes i wonder if i should have just bought something straight from a shop.

[haveugot1 0]

I could say the same thing m8, but where would the fun be in that.and hopefully no one will have anything like what you have produced.

okay just about got the back end sorted and put a coat of black on the panels,


the piece of cardboard obove the shock is a pattern to make a alloy fill in panel .

tried the headlight on but not happy with the brackets on the forks going to change them for solid billet type.

will be cutting of rear peg mounts but not untill i figure out how to run my exhaust in case i need to mount a hanger off one
got a set of gilles rearsets very kindly donated by stantheman, just need some new mounting plates making for them to fit my frame. will be changing the rear brake master for a small billet one with resovoir new braided brake line and thats the back end done,next job will be the frame cut of centre stand get a few holes welded up and black powdercoat. getting there slowly.

bought a set of 4 into 1 headers off ebay cleaned up nice got an acro silencer coming but will have to get a link pipe made up.

[madsod 0]

[General-Lee 0]

[Stue11 0]

Cant wait to see this one finished Ian good work mate

[madcarper 0]

managed to strip the bike to bare frame today and cut off centre stand and any unwanted lugs, made my alloy fillin panel for obove rear shock. needs to get subframe mounting brackets and a few holes welded up then i was going to get powdercoated but as there is so little to the frame i think i will just paint it.
