MINOR MODIFICATIONS
These are the minor modifications
done to my bike, . I'll never consider it major unless it is something big.
I just write them down because I don't have anything to show in this page.
Anyway I'll consider it as tips.
Decals or Stickers
"The stickers on
my bike"
I cut my own decals or stickers.
It took me 3 hours for each sticker. Which took me about 2 days to finish.
I had to cover several holes on the fairing to stick the stickers.
( The sticker on the right
looks like the zx12 logo and the holes behind it covered).
Remove Air Duct
"The air duct before
and after"
I threw away the air duct
because it looks terrible for me. I asked my bikers
club about performance, they said it's ok. The hose is more like cosmetics.
It took me some time to do this. ( You could see me taking the picture
in the right, ).
Custom Made Side Mirror
"The side mirror
before and after"
I made my custom side mirrors.
I threw away the big ugly standard ones. I got the side mirror from the
TZM model but the screw bracket made the mirrors flip far too forward.
So I bored through the mirrors stem, installed the screws to the right angle, and stick it all back together. What I get is a custom made mirror.
(There are still grey spots
of filler on the mirror stem on the right ).
Shorter Signals
"The side signals before and after"
Another minor modification, . I shorten the signals so it doesn't look quite capang. I managed to make it shorter by cutting the stems and make another bracket. I cut off an
inch from each side. Some like it shorter, some don't like it there at all.
( I still need it for safety ).
Hand Made Chain Cover
"The custom made chain cover"
This part is just a little
part that makes the most impact of the image of my bike. It serves as a rear fender, tyre cover and chain cover. However, it's ugly. So I removed it. The chain covers I found in the market doesn't satisfies me so I made my own chain cover. Out of house roof zink. It took me nearly
3 hours.
I just bought this bike for
2 months now [Jul 2002] . After this I'll concentrate
on major
modifications. Any comments are welcomed, .
