Well, I was looking at a '04 ZX-10R last week and the seller was asking too much... then this '07 popped up at too good of a price. Spent a bit more than I should have, but heck; its got factory warranty for another year and a half still! I'm pretty pumped. Only mods are Galfer rear rotor, SS braided rear brake line and sportech windscreen. Factory Ohlins adjustable damper on it.

Also, I think I'm gonna take the flame graphics off when it gets warmer out (they're factory on the SE)... what do you guys think? Are they cool, or just flamin gay? :rofl:

Thx guys. Yeah once it gets a little warmer (and I locate an exterior outlet on my building for a hair dryer) the flames are comin off. The wife said she doesn't like 'em, so that settles it lol. Unfortunately it's begun to rain now, and I have a final on monday, so I can't ride it for two days! I can't wait...175hp, 184 with ram air (apparently) :poosie:

What about extension and hair dryer? Or heat gun

No heat gun, will do extension with hair dryer. I dont wanna take the fairings off to do it, but if I need to I'll just pull em off and do it inside.

if you remove the flames the bike is gonna look retarded being all black with red rims

The only thing that semi-worries me about taking the decals off is if it will affect the resale? Cause it effectively won't be the SE anymore, except the red wheels.

It doesn't look retarded with red wheels and no decals foo'. It looks sick.

(Not my bike, from ZX-10R.net)

:drool: love that fuckin thing but ya flames are seriously played out on a lot of shit and those ones are super gay looking to begin with lol

i used a heat gun on mine without taking the fairings off just on a low setting and obviously not holding it in one spot on the fairing for too long.

It's your bike. Who gives a fuck what other people think. If you like the flames, then you keep them on.

Ya, thing is, I don't like 'em lol. Wife doesn't either.. just not sure if it's gonna hurt resale if I take them off.
