It's been at least 5 years since I lived in Brisbane.

Is Darcy Bliesner still in business at Enoggera? Called Bike Performance. I used to get my ZZR1100 serviced by him and more than happy with his work and price.

Yep, I've done a R&R with the front gaurd by removing the brake calipers.

I realise this a late reply to an old topic but....

My ZZR1100 front gaurd was damaged due to (I suspect) a mechanic not tightening the gaurd bolts when doing fork seals and headstem bearings.

the 2 tabs on the front half had broken off etc.

I was given a ZX9R front gaurd as a freebie from ...

Just curious................and not knowing whats the go in Taswegia

When it's time for rego, how do you go for documentation? e.g, does the bike all of a sudden become a 2000 model? (with its 99 internals), meaning it's all based on the frame?

I suppose its like having a 2000 model and the engine ...

'99 model frame??

As promised, some decent pics of the ol' girl sporting fender eliminator (MUUHAHAHAHAhahah!); new rubber and chain, and a newly covered seat.

Looks like it was a nice bike before it got fucked up.....

Color scheme..99 -01 model?

How many kms??

I had a major service at Victor Motorcycles today - very happy with the service and price - had a good chat with the mechanic - they seem to know what they are on about - I'll go back again.

Thanks again to every one who replied to my question.

thanks again for all the replies - getting some good feedback about victor motorcycles from some other forums as well.

Brett.

I got a guesstimate quote from them, way too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a basic service.

Hey look at me, my wife is stupid.

How long is she going to be his wife when she finds out he's telling the world she's stupid.

Thanks for the replies - much appreciated.

Not that there's anything wrong with any of that!

Now I've moved to Adelaide from Brisbane and Darcy Bliesner isn't here..... :lol:

I'd appreciate some recommendations for bike workshops here in adelaide to service my beloved ZZR.

I live in the southern suburbs so ideally someone down south. (will go north for the right guy)

I'm not tooled up ...

Would that be Darcy Bliesner ??

yep, that's him, Darcy at Bike Performance, Enoggera. Brisbane.
