There was an '09 street triple where i had my MOT earlier, round headlights and high exhausts.

edit: here it is: http://www.am-motorcycles.co.uk/forsale_details.asp?typeid=18&prodid=1666

I love the under seat exhausts, it makes me sad that Triumph have gone full retard and removed them from the newer models

I bet they ruin the Speed Triple next.

Hope all goes well and it's only the stuff you know about

wazza300 · 21 Aug 2015 at 14:23

well I gave it a thorough going over and I spotted the ram air scoop has a split in it and the fairing must have chopped through two wires at the front so ill have to re solder those and get a new scoop that the clocks/headlight bolts to

also the undamaged left side fairing has the bracket snapped off that the headlight attaches to but I can get that plastic welded back on

the fi light keeps blinking aswell idk what that could be without getting it to Kawasaki to diagnose,it start/runs/ticks over just fine,only 4200 miles aswell

the scuff on the fork magically t cutted out,and ive filed the bar end and the brake lever ready to spray paint for now

yh ill look into it,its probably something stupid,my zx10r did it when the exhaust servo failed

wazza300 · 22 Aug 2015 at 12:25

discovered this yesterday when I unbolted the front mudguard

one of the cast brackets that holds it on had bent/snapped

gonna have to see if I can get it welded back on,also get the fork checked to see if its straight while im at it

diy plastic welded my mudguard back together,once sanded/painted you wont tell

and the left side fairing tab

wazza300 · 23 Aug 2015 at 17:20

didn't do much today,just prepped front mudguard and painted it,this is temporary till I pickup a carbon look one

and soldered up the two cut wires,

Be careful welding the fork leg up. The heat will distort it and might possibly damage internal suspension components. I think it might be cheaper to buy a second hand fork or see how much one is from Kwak. Make their dealer your best friend.

wazza300 · 23 Aug 2015 at 17:29

yeah im worried abou that,theres a chap who does all that kind of stuff not far from me,does disc/wheel/fork straightening

im gonna ring him Monday and see what he says,be best if he can dismantle the fork and weld it back on,depends on the price

second hand pair is £350

helpimcrap · 23 Aug 2015 at 17:36

Check with Kawasaki how much it will be. Some part are stupidly cheap from dealers and most are rip off so doesn't get asked.

When I used to race local dealer used to sort out bits for me surprisingly cheap. Might have been to help, might not. Ask.

wazza300 · 24 Aug 2015 at 17:05

cant do anymore,waiting on some abba fittings so I can get the front up in the air and forks out,£20 for two tiny pieces of metal

spoke with the fork guy he said he can weld it on but cant give a price till he see's the forks

EDIT: test fitted my new headlight,it now has two eyes to see with

wazza300 · 28 Aug 2015 at 14:54

abba fitting plugs came yesterday,gonna get the forks out in a bit

Craig321 · 28 Aug 2015 at 14:55

more pics!

wazza300 · 28 Aug 2015 at 17:14

current state

waiting on a rear brake lever from china,plastic welded the ram air scoop for the time being,its unsightly but its up and underneath so im hoping it wont be too visable

sprayed the bar end and lever,also need a new bolt for the engine casing as it wore the head off when it slid on the ground/ground through the bellypan

also need rear pillion peg idk why that's missing as its on the good/undamaged side
