my son has a track / daytime tested zxr 400 h i have on occasion borrowed it for messing about on track, we have a small local track teeside autodrome that is fairly local to us so i decided to buy an h rather than sharing his with him.i think it makes sense to have the same as i know the way his rides. plus he is desperate to ride cadwell and as i have ridden his there ill be damned if we travel and i have to watch so the decision was made and i bought an h1 sight unseen (i know)
so upon picking it up its not great. sorry about the pic but the pic makes it look loads better than it is
my son decided that he wanted to strip his and tidy it up so it seemed as though it was just as easy to strip two, its not it takes up loads of room. but i only realise that now.
the bike is a mish mash of h1, 636 tail and subframe and l forks in an l bottom yolk (yes but i think i can overcome the shorter forks)
so bike stripped prepping and painting begin
frame was flattened, painted satin black and laquered with 2k.
fairings were repaired but i had to swap one with a spare from my sons bike as it was full of filler and weighed a ton primed and some infills highlighted in orange
then painted in turquoise, its different if nowt else.
the front fairing had an endurance style headlight relief so again i did it in orange
always thought the tank on the h looked really big if only in one colour so you guessed it
