Hi everyone :-D ,

I'm french (near Strasbourg) and newbie,
I just bought a ZXR400L1, because all the DIY on my Aprilia RS250 had tired out me...
I hope my choice is good to ride more than to work on the bike :smt003

some pictures of my new bike:

I read a lot of very good informations on this forum, of course I will have some questions soon ;-)

regards,
Vince

thank you very much for your welcome :-D

because all the speedo support is monobloc by welding, I modified the support according the picture below, drill the 6 welding point and grinding the 2 welds on the top to keep the rev counter and the water gauge:

I take out the standard counter because in France we didn't use the mph and the kmh write in blue are unreadable during riding :smt013
Image
the new digital counter I use is a VR2 from VEYPOR, with a lot of possibilities, ie: Gear Indicator, Lap Timer, Shift Light, Data logging drag force, dyno curves, etc...
For the moment I didn't study all the possibilities but the VR2 from VEYPOR it's a very good product, and cheap (due to the gap between euros and dollars :smt033 )

That sounds like a tasty bit of kit, I like the sound of that.
*Goes off to have a shufty at the link*

The bike looks lovely, and I think you're in the right place, judging by how willing you are to offer evidence and guides to interesting things like that VR2...

surely it would have been cheaper to buy a kmh speedo?
