Just picked up exhaust gaskets so once the suspension is back on, the Muzzy is next on. Will post up this week hopefully.

No modifications done but I did confirm that it is an 04/05 ZX10R shock. It is the same length as the OEM one that I have. Not sure but will continue to research it. Would like to use it if it can work.

I wonder if that'll fit my 06 ZX-10R.

 

[ninjanut]

Same length up to 2011 (338mm). The differences are the adjustment range.
This one is 338mm +7/-5. The one for the 06- had smaller adjustment range.

Had to replace the RHS switchgear as the starter button was broken.
Installed the OEM rear shock (rebuilt) and still trying to figure out the Ohlins piece.
Next up is installation of freshly rebuilt FCRs and she is ready to fire up. Then troubleshooting any leaks or issues.

 

[ninjanut]

FCR carbs installed with new intake rubbers, new air box mounting plate and totally rebuilt carbs.

Those carbs are going to sound so good clacking away.

Need to fill coolant and tank, then ready to fire up. Need to check everything over for leaks. Clutch cover is leaking now but I am replacing it once I verify that the clutch is functioning correctly. Fuel system is all new hoses and jetting will be the only adjusting required but I have a good starting point.

I love clacking carbs

Had a friend install the white number boards that came with the new tail. They are vinyl and not OEM.

 

[Honda434]

They look good. Did you make a pattern off them so they can be reproduced?

 

[ninjanut]

As a matter of fact, I did. They are pretty decent quality and fit was great. They were a little slow to install due to all the compound curves. They are not OEM but look pretty good. Now need to install the ZX7RR tags.

Hi Ninjanut., Do you have the name of that purple color by any chance? Thanks

 

[vicenterr7]

Need to paint the tail on my 97

 

[ninjanut]

Jet ski violet is the colour. I did not paint it, the guy I bought it from had it painted.

 

[vicenterr7]

Thanks a lot that made my life a lot easier

 

[ninjanut]

Began to fill the cooling system only to discover a warped/ leaking thermostat housing. Need to pick up a new one before moving on. 😥

 

[ninjanut]

Installed ZX7RR decals and mounted up correct tail. Looks as it should now.

 

[ninjanut]

Next up is firing it up, warm up the engine (damn cold here) and then change the clutch cover as the current one is polished. Get a safety and start riding it on the street in the spring. Can’t wait.

 

[Honda434]

You’ll be turning heads when you have it out on the street

 

[ninjanut]

They are built to ride. Not going to be a museum piece. Can’t wait as I’m sure getting the carbs set up will take a bit.
