CHROME ENGINE BARS

RETRO CHROME UPRATED HORN

Fitted to my bike. The original black one is drab and boring and I wanted a retro looking horn to compliment the radiator grill and other bits added.

The Hein Gericke sourced Chrome horn fits in seconds, looks superb and is slightly louder than standard at 115db. £15 from any Hein Gericke shop or mail order

PIZZAZZ ON THE CHEAP

Kawasaki fasteners are know for being of poor quality and coating. If like me, having a few shiny silver fasteners is to you liking, then for the cost of a tube of AUTO SOLVOL, you can have some bling on the cheap

The four big allen headed bolts, two on either side of the radiator shrowds, plus the one rear smaller one on each side, can be polished to a chrome look. Simply remove and work on, one at a time. Use a soft cloth and the Solvol and happily rub away the grey crap coating to reveal a gorgeous chrome like shine underneath

Secondly, the four black allen headed bolts holding the front mudguard on can be removed one at a time and also polished to a chrome look. I always coat with copper grease when refitting any bolts for later ease of use.

You now have a choice. Either put the lovely chrome look bolts back into the front mudguard.....or swap one at a time with the four black allen bolts holding on the handlebar controls (these cannot be polished and will remain black). They are identical size and lengths. I swapped the mudguard polished chrome look bolts and put them onto the handlebar controls....they look nice and compliment my ss resevoir caps. Simple and cheap.

I also polished the bolt holding on the horn, the front brake caliper retaining bolts, and the right hand side frame allen bolts. Photo not great, but you can see the shrowd bolts gleaming at least...

OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE

http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=527164

A simple and stylish oil temperature gauge that screws in where the boring black plastic oil filler cap sits

Made in Italy or Germany (2 different but similar types). I have used these on several bikes and heartily recommend them. ZRX engine temperature should be around 85-95 degrees ideally, and though not essential, I like the fact that I can check it on the move.

HEIN GERICKE used to stock these but now you have to order them. M & P Direct charge £24.95 plus p&p. Quality 10/10

SIDE AND TOP RACKS
SW-MOTECH

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/245

If you want/need some serious carrying capacity but don't like the permanent bulk of the standard Kawasaki side and top racks, there is an alternative.

SW-MOTECH make a smaller, clever little system which allows a rear rack that is compatible with a GIVI mono rack and boxes, and with the fitment of two simple side bars, a full side rack system for panniers.

All can be purchased from the USA site above

K&N PERFORMANCE AIR AND OIL FILTERS

http://www.knfilters.co.uk/

Many of us have fitted K&N air filters, and the oil filters appeared on the market a few years ago. On this site you can read specifications and check out part numbers. Generally for all ZRX1200's from all years to present they are:

AIR FILTER KA-1199 (APPROX £45)
OIL FILTER KN-401 (APPROX £10)

The air filters are re-useable, so you buy once and never discard for the life of your machine. A filter re-charger kit consisting of new oil and a cleaner to wash the filter, can be bought and used every three years or so to bring it back to new again.

Available from any good motorcycle dealer or accessories shop, and sometimes cheap new on EBAY.

PIPERCROSS FILTERS

http://www.pipercross.net/motorcycle_product.asp

An alternative to K&N's and again, highly respected.
Model MPX053 is listed for ZRX1100 C1/C2/C3/C4 models 1996 onwards

DNA

http://www.apexleisure.co.uk/skidmarx.htm

Available from SKIDMARX, another high performance filter for ZRX1100/ZRX1200
