or you ask a perfectly, albeit rather obvious, question, and after 4,5,6 or more pages of forum big, bigger, biggest dick contest your request remains unanswered.
Did you miss this important part of the OP :?

Sorry, I was trying to say nicely, I hate it. So now i'll be honest, this sort of ugly mutation makes me cringe. Motorcycle manufacturers throw plenty of dollars and have teams of research and development people that work on this stuff day in and day out. I'm sick of seeing bikes running around looking like this sort of shit and the owners pass it off as mods, as if it's some sort of improvement. Sorry dbutlin whatever floats your boat, but I farken hate it.
dickfaber wrote:3 pieces of very old advice,
1 - if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all
So your saying agree with someone, or shutup. Bit communistic, that's probably why it's very old advice
2- money talks and bullshit walks - unless you can either carry it out or perform as large as you talk, shutup
I reckon you got this arse about. If your good at something, why is it you need to go around rubbing peoples noses in it
3 - better be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt
I like this one, i'll keep it in the memory bank, probably come in handy one day.

Thanks for your replies. Like i said it's not everyones cup of tea.
I agree that from the front the headlights look too big, but at the time when i put them on every other streetfighter bike i saw was having a competition to see how small they could get their headlights! so i thought i'd get the biggest i could. i'm not trying to impress anyone or make it go faster. Once i got it back after smashing it i just started tinkering, i'm one of those blokes that is always making or fixing something you know make a tool to make a tool to fix something!
Any suggestions to make it look better from the font?

Buy one of the cheap chinease fairings that come painted white. The ZZR is a classic 90's bike, it needs to go back to looking like one.

Good on you for having a go mate. It's got more than a touch of "wasteland" about so I reckon Gos will be knocking one of these up in the 4th in no time. :)

different - don't - people - their

And actually, you're quite wrong. How is me not liking it a problem? I'm not the one who owns a crashed bike that still looks crashed after it has been 'fixed'. ;)

It's definitely not my cup of tea. Looks like something out of the Transformer movies.

Those air intakes kinda look like insect feelers too! :kuda:

As long as you like it though - that's all that counts!
