retsoration zxr l model
hmm now that the winter is on its way, and my baby will be gettin stored away
am looking at tryin to get it in pristine condition for next year , so she come out like new. ive got a 1994 l model zxr that is green /white with purple and pink decals on it, ony thing is it has got a cpl of good scrapes on it and a bit of the right hand side panel is missing of the previous owner
now am considering gettin a new panel or a full re spray but a dont know what to do about it, but i do love the colour ways of my bike
so any ideas guys and also is it worth gettin a full repsray and if so how much for reasonable job ?

paint stripper for plastic? if its std fairings they shouldn't need rubbing down just remove all stickers with a hair dryer and a lot of patience and then key with some very fine sandpaper.

that does look sweet mate... kinda ghost rider-esque
but am lookin at doing sort of like a old rsv mille only green for the best part of it, grey or black border across the bellt pan and a white number panle like racers have on the single seats, keep the wheels green and maybe polish the rims
theres a pic of a yellow one in the coppermine similar to what i have in mind, just cant find one in green
lso a might have a go out polishin my swingarm lol.... a know it gonna be a rock hard job for me to do, do you think a coud get away with not taking it off and doing it????
anyone whos polished a swingarm before any input would be helpful

see the first one i really do like....... but what if you swap the yellow for kwak green ?????
the second one is awesome too i love the race rep theme too it, but its the decals im worried about, getting them and fitting etc, plus a dont know if my guy will or will not be able to do it
so first one is preference and take away my rear hugger, polish the rims and add a kawasaki sticker to the bellypan and ill reckon she ll look stunning

i'd go for the green or the yellow and silver but change the yellow for pink and the silver for white! with white wheels
