Wrlcome Daz, only advice for you test is do what the instructor tells you :smt002

You can get rear seat cowls off of ebay but dont come up very often, i do believe there are a few places that make them.

welcome fella, im about to do my DAS too. If you've had some experience on a bike then you shouldnt be too bad. The stuff you learn on the Cbt is a big help and will help you out a lot, gives you a lot of confidense in your riding ability.

Ive only had a few goes on mine and my instructor reckons he could get me through in a 1 day course but wants to do a 2 day course just to teach me a few things that will be helpful on my Zxr. Doesnt sound too bad.

Where you from?

yea that does look good mate very clean.... you need to invest in some crash bungs cos there is every chance you might drop it ( i done it twice from a standstil) onece puttin it away an onece turnin it in an industrial estate, im so glad i had R & G's on it or i probly would have needed new plastics.

it's funny, so many of us on here have R&Gs fitted that when you see a picture of a ZXR without them it looks odd, like something's missing!

Thx i found it luckily off my boss at work he found out what i was looking for and he had this and a zx6r.
The zx6r was his new bike but didnt want to part with the zxr400 but he did in the end.
