My new 2003 ZX-9R

chad1043 · 08-18-2008

Finally got to take some pictures. I did some fine tune cleaning. The calipers were filthy. Hope you enjoy the pics. I think they turned out pretty good.

OK, so the only weird thing I have found on the bike is a nut welded to the frame. Anyone know what this might be used for. I was thinking it was a mount for a camera...

Peace,
Chad

Jeez bro that is clean...I love the color scheme...IMO when you get a used bike and it looks that clean, then you got a deal.

ervins · 08-18-2008

Congrats again!

JasonFMHS · 08-18-2008

badd-a man.

ervins · 08-19-2008

I wonder why Kawi graphics can't get back to looking like that...I miss the insane graphics on bikes.

bennice · 08-19-2008

Looks great! Like Ervins, I LOVE that scheme, and would be pleased to see it make a comeback into the lineup.

very nice and clean.....

JasonFMHS · 08-19-2008

I like the little "streaks" on the back... all the new ones dont have things like that... if they do they are these tacky looking (IMO) flames.

Thanks guys... I'm really enjoying it. Been cleaning and riding... Riding and cleaning...

yeah i have that welded nut on mine too.... no idea what its for!

ervins · 08-19-2008

The stripes are a very nice touch...Now it is either plane or some silly "custom" graphic that is almost over the top.

chad1043 · 08-19-2008

I've heard that the nut is for a damper. I'm not so sure which one though...

the front 2 are for the older style "H bar" to hold up the front fairing.
the side one is for a side mount stablizer.

when did they stop making the zx9r?
