Ok, due to finely sanding the surface back of the paint on my ZXR750 with tarmac in a few weeks i'll be ordering a full set of bodywork. I've found the place to get it from and will have a single seat tail unit too.

So, what colour scheme?

This was how it looked originally....



Some others....



I'll have the same style tail unit as this bike....

Always fancied an RR, flatside carbs etc..becoming quite collectable.

Good luck with the body work - red/white/green looks good, nice endurance look.

^ Agree, those graphics look the best IMHO.

Alternatively you might look at Google images for the paint schemes on the race ZXRs of that era, maybe there is a colour scheme that can be poached if you want the 'race' look to the bike?

Got to love the hoover pipes! I do regret not buying one of those in my early bikey days... lusted after many in Bike Direct in Bristol back in the day. Those and RVFs anyway.

Apoligise not!

The only reason I have a ZXR is because I had a photo of one doing a wheelie on my wall as a kid haha
