The first ZRX I was planning to buy turned out to be in pretty poor condition, so I skipped out on that and have found another. So far only seen photos online, and overall this look much better but one thing that does look like it needs some attention is the paint on the rear wheel. Possible from balance weights, or maybe over enthusiastic pressure washing, I'm not sure but looks like there's a bit of paint flake.
Plus the wheels are blue and the bike is all blue, and it's a bot OTT IMO, so if the wheels need painting anyway I'd go for black (or a part of me thinks gold as gold and blue can work ? ) anyway. Last time I painted wheels, had an all green ZX7r I picked up a spare set of wheels, stripped them and painted them up, stashed them in the loft to slow bake over summer and finally got new tyres fitted for an easy swap over without ever needing to take the bike off the road for a prolonged period. I'm all for a bit of Team Green, but I think the before was a bit much:
So thinking the same I started looking for wheels last night on eBay and found some listed for ZRX1100, would these be the same for a 1200 and are they the same across all years? Also are there other bikes that share the same parts. I know when I had my ZX9r the rear wheel on this was the same as the 7r, it was just the front that were different?
