Where can I find these damned things???

The only 2 brands I could find were Targa and Pyramid..

Targa looks like shit and Pyramid wants at least 300$..

Is there anything else?

Edit - Or 05-07 ZZR-600

I've tried kawi forums but not sure how zx6e will help me.. But I'll try..

I just thought, it seemed to be a popular bike.. It's been made since 98 and I don't understand why only 2 companies make cowls for it..

Eh, Whatever.. Ordered a black one off the site..

Still seems a shit load of money for a little piece of plastic..

Thanks though.. :dthumb:

yeah it's a lot of money for just a piece of fiberglass... hence why I'm not buying right now... if I was a little better with molding... i'd just make one myself...

I may just do that actually... :idk:

And the key word is MY bike, not one that I wish I had.. :rofl:

That bike is about 10 years behind the 1125R in technology.

We can make a list. I promise you my bike stacks up against yours.

Make it, I'm curious..

I think the most important spec would be the curb weight..

03-24-2008, 01:21 PM

Not as important as you think. You had your rig dyno'd...whats the HP?

At the wheel? I call bullshit. Those bikes stock make 98 hp at the crank.

I think my bike weighs 100lbs less too..

Rider

03-24-2008, 01:39 PM

Possibly, I know the ZZR600 comes in at a "claimed" dry weight of about 380. I don't know what that year Gixxer is.

marko138

03-24-2008, 02:17 PM

My bike, dry, is a claimed 463. But I'd be willing to bet my suspension is better.

Probably, My rear suspension is pretty bad..

But the 90 lb savings I have helps in the turns..

Mr Lefty

03-24-2008, 04:25 PM

At the wheel? I call bullshit. Those bikes stock make 98 hp at the crank.

Mine makes just over 100 at the wheel (I don't have my dyno sheet but I think it was 102)... though I have a full muzzy system, 4* ignition advance, jet kit, and a K&N. still need to get it dyno tuned when I get to CO

Probably, My rear suspension is pretty bad..

But the 90 lb savings I have helps in the turns..

but remember his bike is also a 750... he makes more torque everywhere than we do. and the right suspension will make that 90lbs disappear really quickly :2cents:

Is your suspension fully adjustable? Compression, rebound...the whole deal?

yes

He has about the same peak torque as us.. Torque curve is also pretty flat... :idk:

To get back on topic..

After finally settling on Targa, everyone is completely out of stock..

Also Pyramid doesn't make a gloss black for my bike.. I can't win..
