ZX7R (or maybe ZXR7)
Ben from Extreme sent me a pic of the naked 12 that won the autosalon down south.
I want a different front and back but nice too know they looks sweet and someone has done it before.
Ben has already given some advice

Goood Stuff Marty & Whatever bits are left over after Rusty & Billy have finished with it I'd be keen on.

"Ya Gotta luv the 9" naked or otherwise.

Full marks to rusty...

its an F model 6, with a 98 zx9 rear seat unit

guy got it from a wrecker for 2 or 3K, cant remeber but it was cheap.

Duane · Post by **Duane** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 10:09 am

Damn them post that answer the question while your typing it !!!
Daune,
here is a pic of the 12 front (mit der snorkel)
Sticks out a long way and has no support. IF you bring it closer or cut it down it will touch the forks.
Might have to put a bit of thought into it ...

So what is needed is a nose fairing with a support bracket, and the snorkle can be cut down and mounted to the fairing support bracket

yep, can you get a picture from front on aswell
i will come up with a solution

BUT then we will have troub with the ram air hoses. maybe go convoluted?
Also do not want to put any "loading" on the steering/forks.
Initially I was just going for MX rad shrouds and enduro light but Duane put the idea out there of Tuono or Multistrada type front.
And I obv love the minimalism of the hellcat.

All up in the air at the mo, just tossing ideas around

id just arsehole the intake ducts... perhaps best not to chop them up either, always nice to be able to return it to stock come resale

should run fine without the ducts too, albeit slower... EFI is hard to upset

is that eddy in your sig frogzx12r?

Still thinking of keeping the scoop but maybe cut it and place inside the MX rad shroud.
And yeah SS, love Maiden, went to the Powerslave in briz when I were a lad.
And Duane, I tried myself (the sig) as I had to cut the pics down to get them in etc. and it was just too much hassle.
I will pick a better background etc. next time.
maybe we can get Strika to rename this the naked thread?

Ask and you shall receive !!

Rough as, I only have MSpaint
Also had to try and match the red of the shroud as it was the easiest way around it so go easy on the colour scheme.
