Finally I got time to put up some pics of my ZXR. It was a bit ropey but I rode still had MOT so I taxed it and used it for a month before I started to do any work on it.

This is what it looked like when I first purchased it:

Thought I might as well replace the chain, sprockets and bearings while they were off and powder coated the rims while we were at it.....!

Next job....brakes. Completely stripped all calipers, replaced all seals and cleaned all pistons. Then I stove enamelled them and laquered them for a gloss finish. I replaced all the discs with Kagizume wavy ones (not the cheap ones) and put braided hoses on the front for now. They bled up really well and stop me much much better than they did before!

Mate, that is really really sleek.
Very well done, and not overdone with anodised crap.

Top Work Fella!

Thanks mate. There's still a few little jobs to do but overall I'm happy with the outcome.

Very nice!
I've just got a candy red one for the mrs.
Has the double bubble screen made much difference?
