Heya Tom, great bike she looks gorgeous - is that with the new fairings???

Welcome to the club and the forum!

[gsxf1100]

no. it was 2 years ago after 1st respray.
last year it was black with a blue tank. Screen Black - for SpeedTrap purposes.
now it has a red fairing. ha ha. but i only leave the top fairing on, botton stays off.
cools the engine better in slow traffic. getting to much heat otherwise.
the most of the engine is replaced 3 years ago with a katana race engine. it has actually 1345cc at this stage instead the usualy 1125cc.
im not sure yet what colours i want on it. maybe some chamaleon colour who change in the sun. black to purple / blue or so. ill see.
is to cold now to get it apart outside, so i wait untill i can go in a mates garage and take it apart. also get a complete engine service and maybe new tyres before season starts.
( not sure about the tyres, depend on mot )
ohh before i forgett, try to get belli pan as well.
plan for it is - 2 cm lower on the front end and 4 cm higher on the back.
and if i get a cheap zzr1100 swingarm i replace the back with a wider backtyre.
not to much as i have to take care of speed performance so a extrem wide tyre slow the bike down.
and i like to play with guys who thing they can play with a 20 year old bike and be left with the exhaust smoke at the end. ha ha.

when all this is done and iam happy with it, and the van is how i want it, i start looking for a zzr1400 gtr, import off course, as they not restricted, and rent a big garage for it. with a heater in it. ha ha.
how is it going with your project

hi tom welcome. nice lookin bike, it sounds like you know quite abit about motorcycle mechanics too do you do most of the work on your bike yourself?

[gsxf1100]

yes i do. not really taking the engine apart as i dont have the most of the tools anymore but yes 95% including service i do on my own.
need help ?

btw - tanx.

[dave]

my bikes goin ok at the mo but thanx for the offer. Ive had my zzr for almost 2 yrs but its a 94 plate so gettin abit old ive had a few problems with it but managed to fix most of em myself so ive learned abit about bikes along the way mainly basic stuff tho.
