Eric, sweet bike man. That paint job is gorgeous. I'm not usually a fan of purple but there are rare instances where it just looks damn good and I must say this is one of those times..... Wanna paint mine?:-D

Thank you. Actually , my wife picked out the color. She intended to go yellow, but decided on the burgandy. It looks very different in different types of lighting. This was my first shot at painting anything. Painted everything in the garage, and was surprised at how little "junk" got into the paint.
 
I'm curious about that front fairing too. any idea what it is off of? or more importantly, where I can get one?

Here is a bigger pic. I got it new, light and all , off ebay. Seller User ID: luckybike-accessories
Total: $44.90

Seems ok, but I am deffinately gonna build a custom mount for it. The rubber hook and loop stuff that came with it is coming back off Very soon. Gonna start on the bracket today.
 
 
ya, I just found it on e-bay, looks like the guy has a lot of cool stuff.

I was thinking of making my own by hammering aluminum, but one of the ones he's got looks really nice.

THANKS!

and, um.. sweet ride... you may want to consider some frame sliders though. Would be a real shame if something happened to that bike.. ya know, like a bad pot hole or something

Thanks for the compliment. And , yes, frame sliders are in it's future.:-D

Glad I could be of some help. I have found a ton of stuff I need on ebay......too bad I can't afford it all! LOL Got in 8 packages in the last two weeks though!

That's a sweet bike. Is that exhaust totally custom, or a retrofit from another bike? Looks nice!

That is the "race" style (had to remove center stand and pipe has to come off to change oil filter) pipe that Yoshimura sold for those back in 1984.

Well, might be an inconvenience, but it looks awesome! Is it still currently available, or would a person just have to get lucky and find a used one? Anyway, it looks sweet!

Thank you.
Well.......it was free for me, so I'm not really sure how much she would charge, But she does nice work!

I recovered the seats on my 95 ZX7 with a pair of fake leather pants(cut to fit ,of course)! Matched the seams up in the middle, and it actually looks really good. Weatherproof too! LOL
 
hey, I've been looking at some of the other fairings that the ebay seller is carrying, and I'm liking some of them

what was the wiring like? is it three or two wire system? I presently have a 3 wire plug that connects to my head light, and i know i will have to modify that.. not sure how though.

The fairing I got is a 3-wire. All i did was (1) unplug original light (2) Turn the ignition on and check which wire is for the low beam and which is for the high beam.(Black is ground wire) (3) splice wires accordingly( I used bullet type crimp terminals, so I can unplug it without any drama) You will have to hot up each wire on the new fairing and check which one is high and low. The fairing I ordered did not come with a wireing diagram.

I can tell you, at least in my case, the mounting kit that came with the fairing is cheesy. (Rubber hook and loop) I am building a metal fairing stay for mine. Just be aware that whatever you order may have the same style mounting hardware, and you'll wanna do something more permenant. No biggie though. Good luck with your shoping!
