You'll need to heat the rim tape to get it off.
The official rear cowls are about £150 but there are usually chinese ones on ebay for much less.

Re: Perks zx10r review
Kwacky has already answered tbh.
I have been thinking of getting one myself and tbh the OEM ones are more like £230 which is mental so was thinking of £30 for a Chinese one.
There just a piece of plastic at the end of the day. Its not a brake disc or rear set etc...where quality material and precise machined tolerances are required.
At £30 the copy is probably the best option IMO. I'm not sure of Nutz got his fairings from Neverland (second eBay link above) and he seems happy.

Re: Perks zx10r review
Was that in the US ?
I was quoting full kwak rip off RRP.
Kawasaki pricing seems mental IMO. Some items are very reasonable others are very expensive. As you can guess the ones you NEED are the expensive ones.

Re: Perks zx10r review
I can't access ebay at work. I'll post the links up this evening but I'm 99% certain they were UK sellers who had the rear cowl at that price.

Re: Perks zx10r review
Other essential mod in my opinon is change the gearing it desperately needs it.
Calsport did me a hard anodised afam rear sprocket and steel front sprocket for £43 delivered. -1 on the front (16) and +1 on the rear (40).

It seems the rear shock as you know is by far the weakest link,when I rode it yesterday there was no feedback from the shock so maybe that was a bad thing and what people go on about

Re: Perks zx10r review
my mate races superstocks on a zx10r he told me to speak to k-tech before shelling out for a ttx.Although an active ttx would be the cream of the cropBlade wrote:Get ready to drill a whole in your wallet ohlins mechatronic is needed
he also told me the steering damper needs re valving but i think he meant on the earlier models

Re: Perks zx10r review
Mine has the ohlins electronic steering damper which is controlled by the same ohlins stand alone ECU as the shock.
Ktech do a 35dds shock for 1150 and a lite version for 900. 35 DDS must be good as a lot of super stock racers use them.
Wilbers which I had on the blade do a shock for approx 550

Re: Perks zx10r review
That was my thought and I budgeted for it when I bought it. The bike is 16 months old and has stood me £10000 all in with all the mods ive done which is at least £5000 cheaper than a comparable specified bike new so I was happy to indulge in the ohlins and stay within a 10k budget. A lot of bike for the money these days IMO.Perkles wrote:i think its worth extra for the active shock imhoBlade wrote:None mechatronic ohlins ttx is 985
