ZX2R Cosmatic Changes

Last week I decided to do some cosmatic upgrade to my bike. The picture above shows the condition of the bike when I got it and the one on the right is the enhanced one. I manage to buy a real carbon fiber sheet. So I cut out the correct size and paste it on my cockpit. The cutting process blunted my cutter! That’s how tough carbon fiber is.

Here is a close up of it. I also spray 18K Gold on the clip that holds the brek fluid cap. I also add a new ignition cap that I have lying around. Stick some refelctive & glow in the dark sticker so that I can see it at night.

This is a close up of the carbon fiber.

I also manage to buy a mat black spray for my pipe. It is for BBQ stove and can withstand tempreture up to 1000C! Looks good and so far it did not peal or melt.

I’ve been having numb palm if I ride the bike for some time. So I get this soft rubber grip to make it manageable. Cost me RM6 only and it feels nice to grip it.

Few week ago I got a paddock stand for RM150. I manage to find a bobbin for the swingarm. It is not easy to find one that fit ZX2R. Those in the market cant screw in. Their nut is too small. At last I found this in PJ. Its great cause not only is it a bobbin for the paddock stand, it is also a crash protector for the swingarm.

Got this Xena Disk Lock Alarm for my peace of mind. Quite loud!

I’ve add some metal sticker of Brembo to my brek clipper. I’ve also respray them gold.
