zxr 750 models

Rearsets are cheap enough on eBay and I just got front and rear braided lines from Hel for under $200.
A quick throttle is always useful; I have an R1 throttle tube in my garage somewhere that I used on my trackie which reduces throttle turn pretty well.
Chains and sprockets are cheapest on Superbikesupply.com and they deliver really quickly.

Had a closers look at the photos and it seems to be a plain roadie with fibreglass fairings;
- appears to have OEM brake lines front and rear
- still has OEM rearsets
Nothing wrong with any of that but I'd say it has a bit to do before you could call it a race bike but in the face of it looks good!

When I got started with the PCRA on my ZX9R, the only thing I did was change the fairing. I used the OEM rearsets, clipons, brake lines, chain and sprocket, suspension etc just to keep it plain and simple and cheap to begin with, although I did have the suspension overhauled before it hit the track which is a must with a bike that has 100,000kms under it's belt. Over time I have slowly replaced all of these components with more race friendly options, even made my own rear sets to save a few bucks and so I could get them at the height I wanted. Hope this helps.

So I finally picked up a zx7 P4.

She is a tad rough and rattley (cam chain probly) but is great to ride. Took her out to Wakefield on Friday for a spin. My first ride on the 7 and my first track day for nearly 3 years ... I am still rooted 2 days later.

The bike went really but I was getting absolutely nailed by the young blokes on the bigger and more modern kit on the straights. So to start hunting for bits, I think first stop is a quick action throttle, braided lines and change the gearing then we see how she goes.

Good looking bike, should be a belter once you get it how you want it!

Nice pick up Rob, doesn't look too bad at all from here. Let the fun begin!

looks good Rob - there were a few of the local CanberraRIDERS crew out at Wakefield on Friday - MStevo reckons it was pretty warm - 34deg plus and maybe 40+ track temp - and the old bugger nailed 90+ laps over the course of the day !!

Your 7 looks great mate, as others have said, just work on the important things first......suspension and better brakes. I love the ZX7R's and would like to have one myself one day.......you will love racing this thing

yep she was a tad warm but I really enjoyed the day, it was good to get through the day in one piece, my last ended in a somewhat painfull few days in goulburn base hospital, but thats a whole other story

Will get her to Laurie to get the suspenders sorted as a priority

Been doing some more research to figure out stuff about the zx7r and stumbled across this beastie.

Laurie has pulled the pin for the rest of this year mate - he has a few other things he wants to try so he has closed the shop. He may be back towards the end of the year or early 2014, not sure yet ?

Terry Hay is your best bet now for suspension work

bugger, he did the seals on the zx10 about a month ago, didnt say anything.
He was running around at wakefield last friday with that girder forked beastie, was gunna go chat but didnt get around to it.
thanks for the info
