Hawk Replica

My new paint job. I believe I'm the first to have it on a zxr400

[masterofinsanity]

is that your panels that have been painted or new panels you have bought?

[Northern ANdy]

that is my replacement panels from falls off slowly re-sprayed. Not the purple ones. Same tank and air filter cover though. Front fairing was red and came from magnum hull.

[SpaceMonkey]

Look forward to seeing the panel on the bike.

Should look great

[Northern ANdy]

Well now, its all back together at last, taken me over 2 days to get it all bolted back on.

[SpaceMonkey]

Very nice

The ONLY thing I don't personally like is the screen, but apart from that I think it looks uber cool my friend.

[Mogas 64]

Fantastic looking bike, can i ask where you got the cool rearsets from and how much.

Cheers Mogas

[Northern ANdy]

the rearsets are the ACU approved ones on ebay for £99 ish. And the brake pressure switch which you have to fit if its a roadbike was about £10 from ebay aswell.

see i never liked the look of them rear sets of ebay but now that i've seen them fitted think they look 100x better

do they rase the peg hight at all? used to get problems with my old 400 of it bottoming out all the time

[Northern ANdy]

they claim to raise it, I've never grounded any rearsets though so couldn't give a side by side comparrison.

They are quite poorly finished rene. The machine oil is still on bits of them and the milling grooves are deep and sharp. Of course its just a case of some emory cloth but when you've just laid out neigh on £100 you expect better, well I do.

ive got the same rearsets on mine, they arent bad for the money, two things i dont like however are the lack of a heel plate for the left foot, and ever since they arrived ive been thinking about just getting a machine shop to make me some to my design rather than thinking "oooh arent they nice"

they dont really lift the peg either but do move it back a bit.

oh, i got a local engineer to make me a new shift rod too as the one supplied was a touch too short for my preferred gear lever position, and being quite large diameter rubbed on the gear lever on downshifts.. new, smaller diameter, stainless rod with an extra 10mm sorted that nicely
