Hello folks,
There is kind of along story behind this bike....well, not the bike itself, but the story of me purchasing a 2nd gen Z1000...lol. It's not even a good story or I'd tell it...lol.
Anyway, I just got it home late last Thursday night. It's pretty clean but does need a little work to clean her all up the way I'd like her...just tidying up some of the previous owner's messy wiring, stripped allen heads, and lack of cleaning/detailing...lol. Perfect winter "projects"...lol.
Of course it's an 07, in Metallic Diablo Black. It came with Metzeler Sportec M3's, stock exhaust, PCIII usb, CA Integrated tail light, K&N air filter, Protaper Contour bar and clamps, and Titax levers.
So far, I have installed a set of Beowulf pipes (Black powder coated stainless steel, oval shorties), Black Pazzo shorties with ti adjusters, Sprint steering damper, and Kawi matching rear seat cowl. Thanks to Judgie posting up pics of his UK machine...this is why I went with the Beowulfs...you just don't see them around, not where I live at least.
Oh, and I have a new black Corbin rider seat on the way...lol.
Not sure exactly what to do with the wheels yet...I'd like to just paint the spokes/centers black, so the wheels look the same as they do on my 06 Z1000, but they don't look like they'll be all that easy to mask. Otherwise...I do still have a set of ebony black ZX-10R rims....I suppose that's another option....lol.
Anyway, nothing exciting, and nothing you guys haven't seen before, but just wanted to post up some pictures of her
Cheers all,
