hello guys and gals
been long time lurking on here as a guest and av finally joined, so here i am, and great site peeps
ive just bought a zxr400 l model on a l reg, and its a fantastic bike, needs a bit of tlc, to get it the way a want it (been standing around for a year or so ), but am quite willing to put the work and money into it ( well not too much money lol), and al take some pics of it later and get them posted up
been passed my test since 3 years ago ow, and this is the first bike ive had since then, and can honselty say this is an ideal 1st bike for me
ive got a couple of quereies on my bike itself, and me not been the most knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics or bikes for that matter, could do with a helping hand to make a better bike
so cheers thats me, thanks in advance

It set me back 120 quid from ebay, they dont come up often but its a proper kawasaki SP seat unit from an SP model ZXR, none of this shoddy aftermarket stuff
They come up now and again, i saw two units on ebay not long after i bought mine, one was 50 quid, another 30, neither of them sold If id had the money i would have bought them both!

What colour scheme has it got?
You can get aftermarket items for about 100 quid but you gotta pay to have it painted. Plus you need to cut it to fit the seat and lights. Also i found they didnt fit very well as i used to have one. The kwak unit is already cut for you and it fits aswell.
My bike cost me a small fortune! I spent 2K buying it and spent 2.5K doing it up, all thats left now is basically to paint it, plan was to have that done this summer but thats not looking likely unfortunately, but the wait will definately be worth it! Once paint work is done im starting on the engine!
