You can put it straight on as is (which is what Rob did with the 650 after painting to match) The modifications I did were simply to make it "how I wanted it to be" (sometimes I hate myself for being so "picky" about these things )looks cool ! if i buy one of these cowlings can i fit it straight on a kz900 or do i have to fill in the sides ??

The ZX9R front end is a little wider but the initial mods where more about not having visible fixings and having it fit nicely around the forks and other brackets. Once on I decided to add the material to the sides so it looked (IMHO) like it has always been there rather than a later "add on" I wanted it tucked in as tight as practically possibleOkay i taught that you had to modify the cowling since the forks sits wider.

Wookie58 I can vouch for "Paintdotnet" as well. A brilliant free program. Gimp is another free one that is very good and similar to Photoshop. www.gimp.org
Thanks Howard, my drawing is more "Big Bird" than "Foose" so I will give the link a tryYou going to do a "Chip Foose" drawing
I use a free PC paint program called "PaintDotNet" to "visualise"...

Now the nosecone is in it's final resting place I wanted to lower the handlebars a little to gain some clearance around the clutch master cylinder. In the absence of a mill the 4-jaw on my little lathe did a great job of trimming the bar risers - now on to the hand controls
