My Baby (ZX9R) Opinions Appreciated....

Hey guys,
well here is my bike... a 2001 ZX9R

Only Mods are:
Full Akropovik Exhaust
Double Bubble Screen
Philips Diamond Vision Headlights

I got those chinese stickers made up they mean "Respect and Power" and put those on cause i thought they might look cool.

Also since the pictures were taken I have removed the "Ninja" Stickers off the Tail section and Replaced the Grips with Some Plain ones (I didnt really like the Flame Grips)

anyway, opinions much appreciated.

Note* The paintwork actually looks rather Matte, but in real life its extremely high gloss, I always get commects about how good the conditon of the paint and polishing are, but for some reason it doenst really show up in the pics... oh well.

Thanks,

I actually got mine from the local bike shop. But yeah, ebay might have some aswell.... But as soon as i saw it i thought the color would match perfectly and it turns out it looks pretty good i think.

Cheers Mate,

Yeha i really liked the way they turned out. I thought it might look a bit try hard haybusa-ish, but i decided to make them reasonably small and i think it really works...

That lower chinese sticker looks like the symbol on the old Katanas! ... at least that's what Robracer tells me! I'm too young to know myself! :roll:
