TOPIC:

Kray, thanks for your input. I took the bike out for a 300km ride over the weekend and apart from a slightly flat topend (I didn't accelerate too hard because the engine is still tight) it ran great.
The suspension rode hard because I couldn't work out how to adjust the damping, after I got home I worked it out (the adjuster rod was missing).
Apart from the hard ride it was fantastic to ride and now I have a dilemma of working out which of my three bikes will be ridden rarely.
I like the Marving (I have one on all three bikes) this pipe is a "street" pipe, the racing pipe I have on my Z1R has a noticeable power increase.
That 1100 in the picture looks great, worth considering.

Forgot to add, originally I stated the headlight was no good on low beam, I retract that statement after my night ride I now believe it is on par with my Z1R HID light, high praise indeed.

this morning my paint suggestion would be the blue zrx scheme.



i say this morning because

a = i can't remember if i had posted a suggestion before

b = i may change my mind tomorrow

Man those are some great paint ideas I and all look pretty awesome, great job on the GPz there Bozo you've done a killer transformation from where it started

As for paint... I bet money that the metallic light blue on your Z1R would look brilliant on your GPz as well... could be kinda slick to have matching bike paint

I had a similar blue previously on my bodywork, which I have to admit I was considering, the only problem was I didn't want to touch the wheels (don't forget I'm on a budget, the wife is already giving me the bug eyes) and somehow the blue with white wheels did not seem right.

That ZRX colour scheme is absolutely beaaaaaautiful.

531/ Irish, you are not making my decision easier, I'll have to get out the old dart board, attach the suggestions and throw. Seriously all the colour schemes mentioned have been great - unfortunately.
Thankyou for your help, I hope next time I write the beast will be painted.
Our registration in Western Australia has just gone up $100 per year for each vehicle, so having three bikes on the road is starting to be expensive, it might be a while before it goes on the road.

Dang that sucks about the registration!! Not that I have ever seen or done this myself before of course and I always follow Johnny Law's rules but I have seen some people just swap license plates to avoid that.... Not that I would ever consider doing it myself to save a serious boatload of change when I am so cash strapped

Wow...$100 increase per vehicle in one year - nuts!

Where I am, for each of my average sport - ish bikes Reg & Insurance, I pay over $400 / month during the riding season, and I have the best license rating possible with the maximum claim free / good driver discount (I speed wisely). For some reason, touring and cruisers (even the V-Max) are cheaper than standards and sport bikes to ensure here, .

If I wanted to insure and plate all my bikes, 1 car, and 2 pick up trucks for the entire year, I would be handing over nearly a quarter of my yearly net income...ouch...

Thursday I got get my VIN verification done at the Police Station then I have to put plates on it... I'm cringing at the likely cost already
