After picking up my ZR-7 last year I was determined to learn a little bit more about motorcycles and wanted to stick with something that had a carburetor to do some fiddling on. So far this year I have accomplished most of what I intended to do with only a few items left to get on later this summer. Most of my focus for 2012 was to upgrade the lighting system to LED's, get a new seat and perhaps re-paint the bike. I haven't decided yet if I want to try reupholstering the seat myself or just go and purchase a Corbin.
My basic goals for the rest of this summer are to get the turn signals upgraded to LED, replace the flasher relay, install a fender eliminator and also install the Screaming Banshee Horn. All of this will probably happen together in one shot since the fender eliminator is a good time to replace the rear lights and I will also need to remove the tank again to get the Banshee Horn on.
As I have been searching for fender eliminators several other ZR-7 riders over at RiderForums.com have been opining for a black fiberglass kit made by PowerBronze. After finally finding out the manufacturer we all found out that they decided to discontinue its manufacter litterally last week.
