Here's a chance to show off your zxr400, so get them digital cameras out and show us some piccies.Rebuilding your bike or modding it then let everyone in on it.
picked up 70 % of an H1 racebike from will224 on sunday (who has the best kitchen/workshop arrangement ive yet come across!)..
pretty much everything except engine, exhaust, brake lines..
and i've got this old ZX-4 frame i got off ebay for 99p, and a ZX-4 engine... and a spare Beet Ti.. and ...
so im thinking something along the lines of..
but more "mixed up"
ZX4 frame

knocked the bearings out and dropped the wheels off to be powdercoated yesterday..
one pair in gloss black, one pair kwak green.
hoping to drop the frame off to be modified on monday (swingarm pivot and torque arm mount) and discuss some ally fairing/clock mounts with the same people.
havent decided what to do about the swingarm.. the one i have has been "lightly modified" with an angle grinder to clear the gsxr shock.. might find a replacement or get it welded up or something.. and fit a standard size shock.. dunno really.
got round to dropping the frame off earlier today, should have it and the wheels back on friday, so i can try to find some time to start an initial build over the weekend
collected the frame from the tig fairy this afternoon, carried out a rushed part build to check everything looked straightish then stripped it all down again and dropped it off to be dipped in acid at a mates place ..
thinking brushed ally finish sealed with 2 pack lacquer .. like wot modern bikes are ..
discs, rearsets, brakes and exhaust all sorted, just need a clean .. the swingarm is temporary just to get the shim made up and finalise the location of the torque arm mounting, (have a replacement swingarm on the way) found a good L shock and NWS linkage in a box, so thats going in for the time being.. will need another lug added to the frame for the clock bracket as the ZX4 only has one wimpy lug ..
not sure about the L seat, dont like the look, but it almost fits, ive got 2 of them, and the actual seat pad fits the subframe better than an H one .. its probably staying ..
