Now this is more like it

Postby Daisy » Thu Sep 04, 2008 4:28 pm

I've never been a fan of the big 'parrot beak' front guard on my ZZR600E, so I got me a guard from a ZX6 ... 8) Right now I'm pretty pleased with myself.

It has taken me two days to make it fit using the original zzr bracket and making some new holes in the plastic - it is such a pain trying to measure and mark stuff from the inside. I will leave it that colour for a while and see if it develops any stress fractures ... nothing worse than cracks in new paint.

im after a set to.
thinking of doing the front indicators & the back as well as the brake light.

if you could let me know how much you pay for them and where you get them from when you decide to buy them that would be great daisy. :) :)

Daisy, you can drill the holes out a bit bigger and put collets (is that the right word?) in them to stop any thought of stress cracks. ;)

I reckon a less chunky set of black mirrors would look the goods too 8)
