well done, great job

Looks great .

Cheers boys; definitely a load off my mind going into Christmad ( and yes; I do mean Christ-mad)!

Not sure what 2014 will bring yet but whatever it is it'll be Green!

ZXR is looking great mate! That colour ZXR was my first big bike use to love the sound that thing made! Good to see another KSRC project finished up before years end

missed a set of green M1 wheels on eBay

Oops, pretty sure that was me - got them for the MK II project.

Cheers,
Brian

Fancy a swap for a set of silver a polished ones?!?

[JimZXR]

I also have a ZX7R green rear wheel, axle, swinger and brake setup if that'll be better?

[Jimmy82]

The bike looks awesome, you gotta be happy with that.

Now if your like me you will be cleaning it all the time even when its not dirty.

[JimZXR]

I haven't cleaned it yet to be honest but looking forward to getting it ready for its first run out in 2014!

[JimZXR]

And following a discussion with another KSRC member I may have a set of Green wheels fitted to this bike in the early new year!

So a minor bit of clean up work and fitting the loud pipe and its pretty much done (cue laughter)!

[JimZXR]

Got the "sports", aka loud, pipe back on today and it turned over first push!

I had been giving the battery a charge due to lack of use so was a good chance to put the pipe back on too.

Barks very nicely now!

Anyone got any advice on ways to extend throttle cable sheathes to take up extra slack in the throttle?

My bike has a QA throttle off another bike (doesn't look aftermarket) and the throttle has too much slack in it even after taking up all the slack with the adjusters.

Something like a split extension tube?

[JimZXR]

Well I figured out the problem: throttle cable is a touch too long for my carbs since its from another bike.
Solution was to place a collar around the metal end of the throttle sheath to increase its distance from the throttle on the carb.
The rest of the play I took up using the adjusters.
45• throttle!
Just need to get it registered!
Can't wait!

[JimZXR]

Today is a good day as today is Rego day!
I'm now a paid up member of the road riding fraternity!
All I need to do now is change out the oil and get some spare time then I'll be out!

Good to hear
