My 6r was 91dB with an open race can. The tester at Mallory told me it was pathetic. :D

91db is extremely quite. Road legal limit is 98db I think so 91 with an open can is mental.

Blade , thought you were a Honda man !!! She looks ace, if its a Kawasaki its got to be Green (sorry Kwacky ) , I've still got some fantastic Scott Kawasaki leathers in Green, I think they would fit you .Need a bit of stitching and the odd patch here and there since they were cut off me before they put me in the helicopter.....................................I loved that ZX10 !!

Blade wrote:I'm made up with it, better than I could have imagined and absolutely like new. The slight makes on the swingarm are virtually invisible and I would have never spotted them if not brought to my attention so not bothered about them in the slightest. Truly immaculate condition, even the tyres are brand new.

I have to say I was a bit worried about buying over the phone but its worked out well and the bike is truly spotless.

That rear number plate needs tidying, Blade.

I'd cut those bolt ends off and fit a piece of black sticky back plastic to the back of it. And get one of the stick on reflectors to replace the one hanging off the bottom of the plate.

Other than that it does look sweet, its not a bike i have ever really looked at in detail before. But yours does look damned good. :)

I take the reflectors off mine after the MOT (blush)
Funny how you notice things when other mention it .... the back of my plate is black, that would also make a difference.

Is there a seat cowl available ??

New Plate will be on order next week Duke.

The thing I find with those reflectors is for some unknown reason they have a habit of falling off very easily and TBH I never notice until the next MOT time (blush)
