Hope your up for an in depth strip and rebuild thread

MM!

That’s the plan might go crazy and makes some videos of some of the work being done in a way to help other members seeing jobs done specific to the zxr400 but I haven’t decided to wait till summer is over or get on it now.

Start with Black Swinger frame and forks and work from there - you can't go wrong

If you've the budget set a time limit - I done mine in a month. Didn't do every single last part I wanted but since being on the road I have picked my way through the remaining list.

Everyone thinks it looks great but the rad, oil cooler and grills are still honking , front braided lines are well past their best, rear is still original , calipers need a paint & I only recently started to clean the engine.

All the other bits I have tackled could easily be done in a day so why hold back using it

Do the big stuff that once bolted on it's never coming off again , get using it and do the finishings as an ongoing project


MM!
