I just finished putting this together today:
It's a 1995 ZX9R. It's still 899cc but I massaged it a little. Nothing major, just enough to liven it up. Stock cams, bumped compression a little bit,ignition advancer, ZX7R (1991-1994) valve springs, etc...The flatslides will stay on it when it's put in a bike. I still need to order some bolts for the head cover and change out the adapters on the airbox for the flatslides to mount. It's just sitting there right now.











Currently I have no bike to put it in. I'm going to put it in my engine cabinet with the others until I can get a bike built from the 92 ZX7 frame I have sitting here staring at me.

 

Looks great. You have too much time on your hands. My biggest compliment from seeing those pics are of how clean things are. Nice

 

2fat.....do NOT let those flatslides get away from you. Please give me first dibs if you EVER decide to part with them, please!!!!

 

Thanks, you're to kind. I sandblasted and painted everything with a cast aluminum high temp engine paint while it was apart. I want this bike to look as good as possible for as long as possible so I'm doing things like that as I build it. The frame and all metal parts will get painted or powder coated as I go along. This won't be a fast build but it will be beautiful when I'm done.

 

Jeff, in my opinion flatslides are the #1 reason to own a carburetor bike. I won't be letting that set go anywhere for a long time. They're from a 92 ZX7R. You probably already know they're 39mm of Kiehin goodness and they come with a choke. If I ever do sell them I will notify you before anybody else.

 

THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

???????????

 

er....Mike......that was a joke. You have given me HOPE (yes; slim, but...) of SOMEDAY owning a set of "slides."

 

Gotcha.

Sometimes the short bus just doesn't travel to where I'm located.

 

lmao, I cannot say anymore to that.
