d.p.n.s Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 hi all been after another bike project for a while now but the cost has always been an issue (as im still trying to finish bmw race car) but when this was offered to me for $800 I couldn't pass it up. so its a 98 zx7rr (race homologation model ) good points *full scorpion exhaust sustem *carbon hugger *race 41mm carbs *power commander *wavy discs *being the RR its stronger engine castings ,frame,and swingarm *800 bucks bad points *de reg *droped on left side (not going to use the fairing anyway) *broken gear lever *bent clutch lever *his dog chewed the tyres (bugger really as they were like new) *wont start and hasn't been run for a few years. but im going to make a café racer style bike out of it. that's it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artyone Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 You gonna do an old school steel frame or stay with the cast aluminium? It'd be well rad to have all that latest stuff, front end, rear end and motor all connected up in an over the top and under the bottom steel tubing frame the get or build a alloy tank for it.

hmmmnz Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 this was mine earlier model 89 i think, machined speed triple swing arm, and later zxr usd's on the front, and koso clocks, a gilera dna headlight, zx6 radiator, custom made stainless exhaust and a titanium fmf can, was pretty fun to ride, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmmmnz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The renthals make it look like a real wheely machine they make a huge difference, change the whole riding position, and i thought easier to handle the knife edge handling that the 7's had. pretty easy to handle a wheely with them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
