my first 7r(p2), gauges and peg question plz

[suprajztwenty]

my 97 came with some ghetto body work...in fact a dollar bill clear coated into the windscreen...among other major repairs needed, i only have an aftermarket speedo. ive looked into digital lcd displays but im unsure if theyre compatable with the wiring. i need the works- whether its factory stock or possibly a new model swap, or if a digi display is reasonable ill go that route.
basically what options do i have (if any) besides buying each individual gauge(autometer, faze...) id like to be cheap but would rather prefer a very legible set that will last.

my next problem is the right side footpeg mounting bracket is broken. ive had some trouble tracking one down. so the question is do the older models work with the p models. from the pictures they look very similar (if not identical) can somone verify that they do or do not interchange-its about a 40-50$difference in a 92 than a 98 i saw somewhere on ebay(yes im a cheap bastard, lol)

if anyone knows where i can find a cheap used headlight assembly as well, id appreciate a push in the right direction

and one last thing, does anyone know of a complete body set for under 500? used, scratched, colors doesnt matter...just want solid pieces and mounting brackets if possible.

other than that, i got the bike running relatively easy (drained old gas and carb tear down and 2 shorted wires) so the 900 bucks i paid for the bike isnt so bad-this thing is a monster...just a really really ugly monster.

thanks in advance- help a newb out please!

You have to post a pic of the windscreen!! As far as the gauges go you should just get a stock replacement set from ebay. If there are none currently then keep an eye open, people are constantly parting these bikes out on e bay. Pics please!!

[suprajztwenty]

here ya go, makes me laugh every time i see it..


and this is a little better...



plan to have it kawi green and semigloss black. engine seems to run well(considering it sat so long)

also if anyone can tell me if older model zx foot peg mount and handlebars swap over to the p series?

Whoever owned the bike before you should be SHOT. That pic is a disgrace. If I were you I would definately look on Ebay for a set of plastics and a rearset. You should be able to get both on there just keep looking.

Looks like you better replace those tires too.

[davewaibel]

your going to need a set of ram air tubes to. if your just riding on the street it will probably be ok, but if your taking it to the track, your going to run out of fuel on the front straight, with out the tubes, will not equalize carbs correctly and will only make 80/90 hp.
I think I have the rearset bracket, will check tonight when I go home, I have a perfect used headlight, cant help you on the bodywork or gauges. Might have a set of ram air tubes, they are fairly cheap on Ronayers.com, if you have to buy them.

[suprajztwenty]

so heres my parts list:
headlight (possibly found)-thanks dave
ram tubes
tires
obvious maint stuff, air filter and the works...
body work that doesnt have money stuck to it...id go for a benjamin next time.
gauges
right handlebar-(does anyone know if left will change over?)
right foot peg bracket(still wondering if older models swap-fairly sure they do)
fairing support bracket(s) front upper, and sides...maybe lower also.

oh, and if anyone meets a guy in arkansas that goes by dolla bill-feel free to do what you like with him, lol.

thanks for the help guys, much appreciated!

got some tires, painted the rims. fabbed up a foot peg bracket to get me through the week (its killing me not to ride it) i think ive got most of what i need tracked down, but im still paying the bike off so getting everything is gonna take a month or 2. anyways, still progress from having money on the screen and lights in the scoops.

i was wondering if anyone can tell me if different year gauges are compatable? or if anyone has a set of p series gauges?

[ta2bandit]

id be willing to sell the stock guages off my 99. it shows 32k on the odo. but everything works ok. mine is track only so im not too worried bout the guages. maybe ill wire up some idiot lights for myself.i also have a set of rearsets(stock ) minus the shifter arm and brake arm. but the pegs are there and the main rearset body.

[NINJARDR91750]

you could get a digital display. but i thaink all 7's and the 9's till 96 will work!

[suprajztwenty]

what about 96+? maybe even newer 03+(the single style gauge-rpm sweep, and digital speed/coolant display) i know its a costly option but it just looks so sweet.

a company called acewell has digital gauges that will work well with your bike. a buddy of mine has it on his 98 and it works just fine. the rpm guage is bars on the top of the screen that only goes to 11000 rpm but it has a digital readout with rom number at the bottom. look them up, very nice product. about $130 and 3-5 hours to install depending on your skill level.

[suprajztwenty]

thank you magnumpi! gauges problem solved- its exactly what i was looking for, price is also good (cheaper than some selling stock gauges)

I have the Veypor on mine. I have not yet been on the road with it but it's nice. It has a gear identifier, 1/4 mile, 0-60, hp and torque rating, g force and some other stuff.
