I figured Id try to get a conglomeration of all the things you can do to your ZR with a stop to walmart, Home Depot, or equivalent. I've seen alot of stuff on here that would definately count as DIY, so hopefully this thread will see some use. Feel free to post up or PM if you got a good one, and I'll add a link into the initial post so that poeple dont have to search everywhere. I am also up to try more DIY mods, so all you gotta do is ask.

I guess I'll start it off. There are a bunch of these "mods" that are already posted.

Obviously, anything on the ZR-7 site is a bible to ZR owners:

This thread is my own stuff that I have done. Includes DIY stuff like:
Straight Pipe - Stock Exhaust Mod,
Seat Reshape,
Fender Eliminator,
Home Made Phone Mount, and

If for some reason you do not want your thread on here, I will happily take it down. I figured this would be good publicity for mods that are beneficial and cheap.

Anybody got any more?

Or perhaps find this useful?

That's my bike!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!

Haha, I find the thread useful..... i'll have to come up with more mods for you to put on here :-P

The thing is our bike is not produced anymore... matter fact it hasn't been for a while..... so the amount of "new" owner to this bike is very low..... I guess that's why the forum is a little quiet lately.......

Darren.

Thanks for joining us from "across the pond". We've got a good number of members here from the British Isles.

As for starting a thread.... It is just an "Anti-SPAM" set up in the software. After this initial post and (I think) 24 hours, you will be able to start a thread.

If not, you can always PM one of the Moderators and they will be happy to assist you!

Have a good day and again,

There is a fender eliminator mod listed above. If you are talking about a real fender eliminator, then this is the wrong thread for you.

The search function will be your friend here. There are tons of posts on the matter, its just simply finding the keywords to match up withh your intended idea.

I also did the fender eliminator..... except I hack sawed it myself......... came out well. It's in the post somewhere.......

Updated. Got any more?

Surely you don't expect us to give up all of our secrets....

There are acutally 2 more styles of home made racks that I know of. I have one (maybe both) in the garage. I'll have to shoot a couple pictures for you during the week.

I'm waiting for some HID projectors...... gonna be putting those in just as I did on the Z1000.... hopefully not too long..... weather is looking good.........

Updated again.
