Hi i was quite shocked when i see the condition that it was in but after a good 3 hours of cleaning and changing the old engine bolts to new ones
it has come up very tidy i don`t need my carbs cleaned as i have had then fully rebuilt and restored but my next project is the front and rear brake
calipers i`m looking to get them rebuilt and cleaned up

cheers

might wanna stick a new master brake cylinder on as well...the rebuild kits are ok, but if there is any damage in there you will always have spongey brakes

Yea that might be a better solution apart from E bay is there any good website that sell parts for the ZXR
as i need a new front head light unit,full exhaust system, and bits/bobs
I do no E bay have a lot on there but maybe there is someone out there that might be a bit cheaper
