It's painted in replica Anthony Gobert colours. The last pic is the entirety of the electrical system excluding coils, tacho and starter. Very basic 'no frills' harness.

It would be real nice if i managed to score the M2 frame off the bloke who i got the fairing from. He's now parting out the rest of the bike but he said he might just hang the rare frame on his wall Crying or Very sad .

I should have bought the complete bike off him when i had the chance. Probably would have cost less than what it's going to cost me to build this one Embarassed

I know nothing about Kawasaki ZXR750's - so whats special about an M2 frame?

I do like this one on Rare SportsBikes For Sale

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131040264586#ht_166wt_1127

is that different to yours? (I realise the "R" is in a different place).

the RR was the homologation model with flatside carbs, etc.................

"think" the first was the "K" model and then the later version was the "M"

Correct. The k was a race version of the J. The m was the race version of the L...

Yep Pomps and Stockcar are correct. The 'R' models (K1, K2 & M1, M2) had some nice additions that the standard road versions did not. Flatslide carbs, close ratio gearbox, adjustable swingarm pivot, aluminium tank, fully adjustable suspension, single seat. I think there were only around 200 produced (for each country?) each year to meet homologation rules. Very little difference between a stock L model frame and an M model frame other than the adjustable swingarm pivot.

For curiousity sake, i weighed the fuel tanks to see if there is much difference. Aluminium tank is 4.3 kg's and carbon fibre tank is 3.6 kg's. I'll have to drain and weigh my stock steel tank now to see the difference.

so wouldn't an "L" frame with a rear shock ride-height adjuster give the same geometry adjustability as an "M" frame with its adjustable swingarm pivot - or does the "M" frame allow you to lengthen / shorten the wheelbase too?

The 'M' model has an excentric block on the swingarm pivot to allow for 4 position adjustment

My riding abillity is far from needing anything like that sort of adjustabillity anyway. I'll be happy just to get the thing around the track and back to the pits Laughing

looks like a 2-position eccentric block that allows the wheelbase to be lengthened / shortened - nice touch for a racebike. Can calm those wheelies............. Wink
