Wl: 07 zx6r

[jazzman]

Well I thought I would start a page for myself just to be a cool kid.
I am not a racer or a stunter.
Just a normal guy who likes riding and wants his bike to sound and look cool when flying around town.

I've had this bike since 0 miles and have made a lot of changes already which I'll try and document some of, but due to a small argument with a few rather stationary objects last week, I am having to buy a lot of new parts. So I am upgrading some more stuff a long the way, since the bike will be in pieces anyway.

List of stuff done to it:
Clear alternative red turns and smoke tail
Black Puig DubbleBubble
DDM HID kit (6000k)
Pinebox Screamer exhaust
PC3 USB
Powdercoated pegs and kickplates
Hotbodies unpainted hugger (sprayed black)

please tell me you have gotten rid of that fender, and have some type of sliders or race rails.

[Debo]

nice bike!

[jazzman]

please tell me you have gotten rid of that fender, and have some type of sliders or race rails.

no, and no.

I did replace the fender, but I keep the stock one around because I need the hooks for luggage.

And you only need race rails if you think your gonna crash...

[J-rod]

well im not plannin on goin down but im still smart enough to have frame sliders for my bike

[KyleJ]

Looks nice a nice bike, but +1 on sliders.

[jazzman]

Here's my update for today!

Draining the tank...

My head hurts just thinking about this stuff.

Wow I am so glad I decided to replace these!

Nothing funky living in my airbox besides this lonely bug.

So I am about as far as I can go without any more parts coming in.

I'm waiting on the plastics/tank, and an air filter, and an exhaust gasket to finish up.


I also did the brake res relocate today, which was cake since I had everything apart anyway.

[dLac]

So was that you pulled over off of 9th st?

[jazzman]

no.

[dLac]

Ahh well someone has a white fairing bike with a red tank like yours then lol.

[jazzman]

I never rode mine like that, it was only like that in a couple pics when I was fitting the fairings on.

[dLac]

Ahh gotcha, bike is looking great though. Can't wait till it is finished!

[jazzman]

Only one pic to share today, The plastics still aren't painted. But I got my last parts in, a new air filter and the exhaust gasket I needed.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs618.snc4/59824_468841660700_686585700_7298986_7439929_n.jpg

[jazzman]

Well the bike is "done"!

Got plastics in yesterday and it is like a new bike!

I am really liking the clean stark white/black look, I think I will keep it decal-less. Only thing left to buy is barends and levers and I'm happy! Also they "forgot" my seat cowl and should have that done after work today. Kind of dumb to have a seat but no pegs...

I'll post some higher res pics when a nice day comes along and I can get my good camera out in the sun.

P.S. it is LOUD!!

[Trick]

white wheels FTW

did painting the panel under the seat and tank gap panel white ever cross your mind?

[Trick]

I want a white bike now, fuck.

[Bigstunter10r]

I want a white bike now, fuck.

White or Black? Make up yo mind foo!

[jazzman]

Yeah, it did cross my mind. I actually have those panels, and the panels that attach to the side of the tank, and the panels around the exhaust. They send you all those too when you buy the chinese ones. But they are such crappy quality and honestly I like the contrast in those areas. For me, the bike is perfect like that...

I still have some things to get, like d3 white grips, asv black levers, some kind of barend, and fix my sliders.

Also I used to love my hugger but now i absolutely hate it. It'll go away, once i buy another bike to ride around and this one becomes a lot rat.

[turbo_jb]

Looks hella nice!!!!!

[Debo]

god damnit thats sooooooooo fucking sexy. and again i find myself wanting my bike to be white. blaah.

[Trick]

Thanks but no thanks on the white weals

What happened between Oct and now?

[jazzman]

I have no idea. I guess looking at pictures it grew on me.

[Trick]

I like it a lot!

[Debo]

I like it a lot!

i'd make love to it.
