Nick looking 7r Kaw, do you have a far away shot of the green screens? My first inclination was that they might've looked better (or stood out more) white. Anyhow, love the tach especially, looks great.
this is one of the best up grades i have done yet on this bike. I researched the adjustable/fixed advancer and after reading how most people if not all of the ones that bought the adjustable version all settled on +4 degree. so...i bought the fixed advancer that comes set at +4 degrees. very simple to install. as soon as i started the bike up i noticed a difference. first off the bike runs 400 RPMs faster than it did before. that 400 rpms make a nice difference when riding. the best way to describe it is "Peppy" the bike just feels peppier than before. the mid range of the power band seems more alive for sure.
now here is the biggest improvement: gas mileage.
before installing this advancer i was getting around 78 to 80 miles before hitting reserve then i would usually ride about 20 miles on reserve before filling up. ( think the terrible gas mileage is due to my exhaust and jet kit )
so here is the great news: i now on a regular basis hit 120 miles BEFORE needing reserve!! and i have so far pushed reserve to 30 miles before heading in for gas. my bike gets wonderful gas mileage all due to this advancer.
i don't know if the bike has more top end. im just very happy with this little upgrade.
Thanks for the 411 Amish. How long did it take to install and where did you buy it from?
Hey Noir I know how you feel. I was given my bike to me by my brother, how ever this was after one of his friends tried to park it between a stop sign and street adress sign . I'll see if I can find the pics, here's a list Shark Skinz body work, new head laght , fairing bracket, insterment cluster bracket, brake lever, mirror's, wind screen, ram air tubes, blinkers, and a lot of screws and bolts.

Full Micron Titanium Race-only exhaust, Targa upper fairing, Mesh intake guards removed, head skimmed and mild port work done, 4 degree ignition advancer, Muzzy Carbon Fiber Ram-Air ducts tank guard and triple-tree covers, ALL emmissions scrapped, float bowls vent to airbox to equalize pressure, Factory jet kit, Ivrie frame and bar sliders, Indigo white face cluster, ZX grips, Sportech Green-chrome windscreen, 2004 Kawasaki ZX-12R rear shock (I have a Fox Twin-Clicker for it that just needs to be rebuilt.), ZX-6/9 mirrors, LP footpegs and turnsignals, fender eliminator kit, 520 chain conversion (-1, +2), rear hugger fender, solo cowl, custom paint on fairings, wheels painted white, Pirelli Diablo 120/70 and 180/55 tires, swapped from 190/50 rear tire, lowered suspension 2 inches F & R, side fairings changed to 2001 scheme (from 1998), braided brake and clutch lines, SBK front and rear pads, European-only headlamp. That's about it, I believe. Oh, and the entire bike USED to be all Black. So only about $ 10 to $ 20 worth...
how hard is it to put the white cluster face on. Also how well does it light up at night, did you have to strip the old black of first?
Cluster face is easy to put on. Take the cluster off, remove the screws on the rear, slip the new white faces on. Put it back together, connect a few wires, and done. No stripping is necessary.
All your bikes are aweosme looking.
A list of mods on mine are:
1. transplanted 94 ZX9 engine total stock except for.
2. Full Muzzy titanium exhaust with a carbon fiber can (damn thing is too loud)
3. Muzzy jet kit.
4. On the fairing bracket I made a little rectangle box that houses a cup holder, and 2 square holders for extra keys and so forth (cell phone and stuff)
5. 12 volt outlet in the rear.
6. Powder coated black wheels
7. Blue headlight bulbs
8. Audi Nogaro blue paint with white Muzzy race scheme.
9. Diablo Corsa (which I just got a nail in tonight)
10. NGKCR9EK spark plugs (very nice and hot plug)
11. Single tail.
I would show a picture, but in case some of you dont know, I lost a left fairing piece on the freeway (never felt it move at all)
So I am in the process of getting another one and if I cant color match the paint, then I am redoing the whole thing.
Also need to get another tire (damn Diablo Corsa cost $160) looking to get the Diablo again cause those are the best tires hands down I have ever used, very sticky and road friendly.
As soon as I get a chance, I will submit, but in the meantime, I can show you a similar picture, just replace the green with Nogaro blue.
