hi all, as i am a new member of the club here i just thought i would start with a pic of my bike as it is today, the front end is mainly zx9r, the seat was done by bumbraps its not exactly what i wanted but i am going to change it again, the bike has a zrx1200 back wheel in it and the engine has zzr110 cams, stage 1 dyno, k&n filter and a nice after market exhaust. i bought the bike in 1998 brand new it has 25000 miles on the clock and im still in love with it, i got a few more ideas up my sleave so when i do them il let ya all know.I am useing a all in one bike led light, it is a side & brake light & blinkers all in one £45 of ebay looks bang on now all i have to do is find some nice blinkers for the front.

Love the colour :biggrin:
The bike looks very smart, welcome to the board.
Did the front end have a smack or did you just change it for the looks and handling?

hi there and thanks for your comments on the bike,you need to take a bit off the origanal spacers and you must have the 1200 sprocket carrrier and then it all fits like a glove.

Purge, if you're interested in a twin set up for Purgerex 2 you should take a look at http://www.oem-uk.com/acatalog/Billet_Lights.html
These are very purty in the flesh and fabulous engineering...

Looking at all options at the moment, but thinking towards the standard marg tub if I can get :tennis: crashed one looking OK.
Those lights do look good, but not sure they're worth £250 :crazy:
