A great day's riding today. I love my GSX R1000. It's a real bike.

I stripped the front end off mine tonight. Can't see any damage, I think the
replacement yokes will straighten it out.

I will have the wheels coated black, I'm just struggling with the general
hassle of having the frame right off. I'd quite like it, the subframe and
the swinging arm all done on satin black expoy powdercoat.

Then again I could just make it completely original, flog it, buy a K3 and
put the pattern bodywork on that. Can't bloody decide.

I know, I know you sod. Already succumbed to the AP brake conversion didn't
I.
Thing is because the bike was so cheap and already tatty I had a hoot on it
and didn't GAF. The more I spend on it the less I'll want to risk it. On
balance, as it stands now, it will be like new with to die for brakes and a
Harris undertray for a total outlay of £3000 plus whatever the future
insurance loading is.

No sort of hurry anyway and it'll take me a while to measure them up if I

ZXR has the same 4 pot Tokico brakes as my ZZR. 6 pot Tokicos, as fitted
to ZX9R and a few other bikes, won't fit on the standard mounting
points. I know cos I've tried.

Exactly. I just couldn't be bothered to type it all. Also, the ZXR
has 310mm disks, whereas the ZX7R ones are 320mm.

Well, that web page does specifically include the L model.

Of course, I was thinking about trying to put ZX7 6 pots on a ZXR.
I'm suprised that the GSX-R ones fit that easily, as I would have
thougth the "pad depth" (inner radius to outer radius of the swept
area) would have been different. You live and learn, mind.

That's a very handy page. As I mentioned before, the caliper mounts on a
ZXR750 are the same as the ZZR as they use identical calipers. I've just
had a look through EBC's book, and the discs used on the ZX7R are
identical to my ZZR, so theoretically this conversion should be possible
on a ZZR1100.

It would be nice to have brakes that matched the performance.

Well look everyone I have a pair of minter gixxer thou six pots with not
many miles which will be going on eBay soon otherwise. Currently they
contain some almost new EBC HH's.
I also have a set of standard disks/carriers with about 1200 miles on them
to be sold.

To tell you the truth, most people I know with ZX7-R's really rate the
brakes on my ZXR. Probably more to do with the pads used...

I have Carbonne Lorraine pads in my ZZR, they made a huge difference,
but they still aren't great when compared to the brakes on more modern
bikes.

I'm selling my ZZR asap, so if you want Hog's calipers then go ahead, I
won't be buying them for my bike.

Lozzo's a tight git though and probably knows someone who wants to give a
