Denso make a bunch of automotive stuff from aircons, to fuel management and electronics. It was probably fitted with some denso coils or plugs, and the previous owner thought the stickers looked good :roll:

ok so out of interest, just wondering what peoples opinions were if i painted it green? and dont ask what green u know what green >.<, because i know that people kinda count the green as a ninja color, and was thinking that it may be a bit of a nono,,

Mate, save your money and spend it on something you will enjoy a little more.

I had a FZR-R250 and I used this to gain confidence, road skills and above all learn the craft of bike riding. I kept it for twelve months, then sold it and spent extra money on my next bike, a ZX7.

Nice starting point though..... :kuda:

Not gonna be costing my much, as i kinda paint as a hobby, im really just painting it for the fun of it, i understand that it wouldn't be worth it if i were taking it somewhere to get it done,, thanks for the tip tho,,,

Keep in mind, if you plan on selling it later, will it generate any interest being green?

Have a go and keep the photos coming, I'd be interested in seeing what it come up like.
