Noobie Intro
Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 4:02 pm
Hi Folks,
Hope you don't mind me joining in and thought an intro would help ease the initiation ceremoney
I've lived out here for 5yrs now and if your into 400's it's "Hog's heaven"
I have had a variety of bikes through the years and most of them being Kawasaki's - Green blood you know!
My last bike in Blighty was a GPX750R in Kwak Green an H1, so i found it mighty strange to have a passion for the 400 I got here - but it does perform as well as my old GPz600R and I am sure it would give it a good kick up the butt
Sorry, it's not a ZXR but a ZRX! Right letters just the wrong way round
So what am I doing here then, well - I have just bought a ZXR400 USD conversion for it along with a front and back wheel
, this will give me a 17" set-up and allow a better selection of sticky rubber 
. The USD's require an overhaul and I have just got the full kit to do it but have no experience in stripping this kind of fork ( 26yrs into bikes and even had my own workshop and this is my first time!).
I will not ask the zillion questions here and just keep this as a - "Pleased to meet you all" post.
Here is a recent pic of my bike - I now have a "Bulldog" Ti system on it which is freakin loud
Hope to get to know a few of you and as my ZRXZXR project develops I hope I can also add to the site
Be safe, but do it fast
Tried posting some photos but got the "spammer" message which I fully understand so will try again over the next few days. The USD's arrive tomorrow so will give me some time to get better photos of them.....Later
