Very easy to read during the day and at nighttime they give off a sweet dark green glow (which I may add it farkin impossible to photograh accurately).


Mate,

I had some on mine, got them from the UK. I only ended up using the Tacho. One because I like the one black one white look, and two because the ZX-9R logo was the "B" model style not the C ;)

May still have the speedo one lying around in the shed. Probably will find it one day :?

Love the work your doing !
I'm particularly interested in the USD radial mount forks transplant.
I suspect that the E series ZX9 shared the same front end. Not sure.

Why didn't they continue with USD forks from the early ZX9s ?
