Big Dan's ZX9R Street Fighter

November 11, 2008 08:56 by Marty

I've been helping my mate put his bike together in my garage for the last few weeks. He bought it for cheap, unregistered and damaged. He decided to turn it into a street fighter style bike since all the fairings were road rashed. We finally got it registered and took it for the maiden voyage yesterday arvo. We've still got a few little problems to iron out but overall its turned out pretty good for a very quick budget build. I knew very little about working on bikes when I started, but luckily they're easy as piss to work on much like a muscle car because of their simplicity. 

The specs are;

  • 1998 Kawasaki ZX9R (900cc)
  • Painted matt black with farings removed
  • Renthal Fat Bars
  • Mini bar end mirrors
  • Buell XB12 headlight and fairing
  • Braided Brake lines
  • Hindle exhaust
  • Re-jettted carbs

I took it for a ride last night and it's got stacks of power (more than mine I'm ashamed to say) and the Renthal bars make it awesome to ride, you've got so much more leverage due to the wider grip.



Here's a pic I took of how crowded my garage was while we had it pulled apart.
