Got my bike registered this afternoon. My first experience riding on the road consisted of wet roads and a knob in a large 4x4 that cut me off at a merge point.
perfectly normal mate... you will need to keep an eye out for those fuckers... good to hear your on the road.. now get some pics up and get a display pic up as well..lol
I swapped the A model forks for the C model forks on Kit.. then cleaned up all the flaky bits and sprayed the triple clamps black... pictures to come
need to put an @ in front of the name you want to tag mate.... also i put about 10 coats of paint on there a can and a half of paint... im lucky my where my washing line is.. its like a wind tunnel and it gets full sun so i could lay down new coats every 5 mins...
I'll see what I can do with the display pic. I'm glad I don't travel to and from work during peak hour.
that was going to be my plan.. but the mold markings from the casting process was we just way to prominent so I decided to paint them... pretty sure all ZXR gear was painted cause these clamps even had a clear coat..lol
Mine are covered in scratches and it seems like there is some sort of coating on them which I am assuming is clear coat. Might just be easier to paint them black. Would go with the rest of the bike.
i used a dremel with a wire wheel to get the clear and the paint layer off... dust musk at the least and safety glasses are a must
I played around with the old zxr250 this arvo. Then took it for a semi naked (the bike) strap to get fuel it's running worse lol. I can't figure out if the carb boots or the carb air breathers are leaking however that is now moot point.... As on the test track I forgot a roundabout was much sharper then it looks especially at night. So I went up the square gutter at about 30 under full brakes l, I didn't fall off Damage assessment tomorrow. It did feel alittle weird but held air. Should of known to take it easy seen I hadn't been on a bike for 3 weeks
Missed a parcel delivery today so went to pick it up from the courier after work. Turned out to be my chain & sprocket set for Scarlet: Will probably be swapping her rear wheel back on and fitting them tomorrow
