Zed1015,
What Tach and Speedometer are you using? I saw that it is digital...very cool. You build looks great! How much gas does your tank hold?

I originally fitted a Danmoto Nano cockpit but the tacho packed up after 10 mins and the rest followed 80 miles later ,a real pile of crap
I replaced it with a Motogadget LED item which is smaller and works perfectly .
The tank holds more than it looks as there is no tunnel etc around 3 gallons-ish , I haven't actually got round to measuring it properly as i'm too busy riding it
Here's a pic of the speedo, the motogadget is the one in my hand.

I bought a danmoto a while back for a tracker build and it was a piece of shit and I replaced it too. Bikes looking good man .

Can we get some video please? I mean for the love of Kawasaki green I repeat PLEASE!!!!

Fantastic job Zed. Any pics of the painted bike?

Hi, Yes! you have permission to use whatever you want.
As for paint, there isn't any as it would add weight
It's staying bare alloy and gets a wipe over with a rag and wd40 every once in a while.

Cool. Thanks Zed!

Have you considered filling the tires with helium to reduce unsprung weight? Ed

Of course I have !
Along with using un-leaded petrol, not being so heavy on the throttle and always riding with the lights on

Pretty sure the grey finish on the calipers is anno too so not wanting to risk taking any of that off i knocked up a five sided tool to unscrew the gold stars
Nothing too fancy just attacked a bit of scrap ally with the angle grinder till it fitted something like

They came out much easier than expected and are only sealed with an 'o' ring and no thread lock.

One done and three more to go.

Any chance you want to rent out that little tool? I'm interested in doing the exact same thing!

Just finished reading, I knew those Zephyr frames had potential the first time i laid eyes on one. Exceptional work Zed.....

Hey Zed, I was going back in this thread to see how you extended the zx10 forks, but it looks like you deleted your photo bucket account. I seem to remember you keep threads on other forums, are there photos there? thanks.
