and so the mods begin....

[James]

Picked up the ZX7 single seat tail and megacycle pipe yesterday!

Started mucking around this afternoon and almost have it to a point where I can think about securingthe tail permanently. I just need a ZX7 seat and tail light so I can use it to help line up the tail some more before bolting it up.

ANyway, so far so good, might go for a little more lift/angle towards the back if anything. Im planning on painting it stock ZXR750 H1 colours to match the rest of the bike.

Mate, well done, perhaps just a touch more lift at the back, but looks pretty good,

Good luck with it.

Cheers
Matt

Yep,
A couple of degrees (only 1 or 2) up at the back any it'll (cue Rob Phillis) "Look Horn".

Cheers,
Pete

youre going to keep the original front fairings, i take it?..or not? *lol

this could turn out to be quite an interesting project

[tape]

James, did you have to make new mounts for the tail? if so can you take a pic and post or PM it plz.

Looks the ducks guts, can't wait to see it colored H1'd

cheers

[James]

dj - I plan on keeping the front fairings. Ive just taken them off to clean and replace everything. But having said that, who knows!

Tape - I will have to make new mounts, I just have to work out how! This is my first attempt at doing such work and its a steep learning curve. I'm sure I'll nut it out but its going to take longer than I thought. I'll let you know how I did it, and then I'll let you know an easier way!

You've gotta love the mods. Looks good so far. i agree needs a little lift if you can do it. Good work.

[esie]

James, the bike is looking great, much more loved than when I saw it at Port Macquarie. I agree, lift the rear up a little, and it will look schmick!

[tape]

James don't raise it too much the ass that is...lol

I'm gunn check at Vic Wreckers soon for alterate parts etc too...

Keep the tank and original fairing so ya don't loose the "old School" look

Cheers

[James]

I think Im getting somewhere! Im just about ready to secure it in place.

[Gosling1]

thats lookin' good mate, just about the right level of *lift* on the ducktail, you wouldn't want to go much higher than that.......

will be interesting to see how it looks when you finished.

[Dj]

god damn!!!
that looks even better than I'd imagined it

ruthless brother, nice work so far....

[Plaz]

Mate that looks shit hot!!!

[matchan]

looks great James, I see you are going for the motogp exhaust as well

[James]

Thanks guys,

Its been a lot more work than I thought it'd be, but I want to get it as right as possible. Still a lot more work to do before its finished.

Matchan - I made a shorty pipe the other day. Im not sure whether I will use it on the ZXR though as Ive got the megacycle now. If not I'll probably end up selling it. Looks kinda coll though I thought. I cut about 180mm off the length.
