Paint looks great and the bike looks fantastic! I would delete those reflectors on the front fender though.

Any plans on doing the zx6 suspension swap? I love the looks of the zx6 forks, sometimes I forget what the Z looked like with stock forks and realize how much meaner it looks with radial mounted brakes

Oh yeah and GO BUCKS!!!

Go Bucks indeed.

Hindsight is 20/20 with those reflectors. I didn't even think about them till I put them back on. I'll get around to that pretty soon here.

As for the zx6 suspension... On the stock forks I tightened up the preload and increased the rebound dampening and put on a zx6 rear shock. My suspension feels pretty solid to me so probably not anytime soon for the 636 front end.

Very nice, unique paint.
You should find something to plug or cover the stock front signal mount holes. Maybe some mirror block off plates would work???

Header is 00-01. I bought it off of pghz1k. He had it on his bike for a while so it was already cut and re-welded for a Z1K.
