I would, but right now the frame, swing arm, and all the other bits are at the powder coater. I do have 2 engines setting in my garage alond with lots of other stuff . . . . even the suspension it off getting traxxion/ohlinized.
Found this blurry pick of when I brought her home.
I'll be going back Lime Green, and I have a set of painted Green rims, and a set of chrome rims, both shod with Q2's 190/55's. I also have a new full set of sharkskins for her.
Oh yeah! I remember the days when unless you had a ZX11 or GSXR1100, nothing would touch the ZX9.
Still one of my all time favorites.
You need a thread on it when it gets back together, this may be Hayabusa.org, but there's alot of us here who like them all.
Threadjack over Crusty.

Almost over . . . . my first new (and totaled :-( ) bike was a 94' ZX7R. I hit a barrier wall on it at a good clip. Lots of skin grafts and theropy. But, Damn I loved that bike. The only thing I wanted more was a 9. So, many years later here we go. It's amazing how many parts are still available for it. Nothing at all like the 'Busa, but still a nice selection. (although I'd love to find a carbon muzzy that was less that $600).
I had a 94 ZX7!
A couple friends had the ZX9s too. I was working my way towards getting one until summer of 01.
What I thought at a glimpse blowing past me was an R1(never to be seen again), turned out to be what my friend said was the new gsxr1000. I knew I had to have one
, I bought a new 02 gsxr1000 in 02.I would still love to have a ZX9 though, and I've seen a few go for great deals in the last couple years.
They are becoming harder to find in nice shape too.

My 94 '7 was the green/blue combo. I think the only mods I had were the corbin seat, igniton advance and hand grips.
This 9 wasn't in nice shape, it ran nice once I cleaned the carbs, but it looked like it had driven on salty roads for 10 years. It was really bad. But, the perfect senario from a ground up rebuild. I remeber how excited I was to pick up my 'Busa after the turbo install . . . This build MIGHT equal that. She started as a track progect (explains the money I've spent on suspension) but I think I'm going to license her now, too.

Mine was black, and the mod list was excessive
I need to scan some pics so I can post them at some point.
Cool, look forward to checking it out.
