Hi,
Those parts depend on what you're looking to do with your bike.
The fuel pump saves weight and electrics and I'm very happy with it. However the stock one is easier to handle with when you need to do some carb work

The koso tachometer is sth I definitely wouldn't fit again. I fitted it as it was necessary for the street use (tΓΌv) and I couldn't run the stock one due to the rims
I would go with the zxr one or get sth like the aim mychron5 or similar

Hello Dominic.

Fantastic build.

When you still had the zxr400 forks, can you confirm the model of wheels and discs,and how easy they were to fit into standard forks and swingarm.

I'm looking for replacement wheels for my race bike, and like the idea of the wider and lighter er6 wheel.

Many thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
the wheels haven't been an easy fit and are more likely to be optical tuning than much lighter or better, afterall I wouldn't choose them again but invest some more in actually better rims, work is the same...
If you don't care about the work though here is what needs to be done:
Front
-modify front calipers to more offset (or buy my modified set 😁)
-get some zx10r discs or modify brake pads to the 300mm er6 discs
-wanna know how fast you're going? >different tachometer needed
-wheel distances obviously
Rear
- brake disc needs a whole lot more offset than er6 stock has. If you want to use smaller 220mm discs (recommended due to biggest weight savings here) you need a different caliper probably
-distances

It's for race bike so don't need Speedo drive.

Thanks for the info. I may see if the z650 wheels are the same as they look good too, as all weight is mass centralised.
