Wow, very nice. Is it yours, illness

whao! NEAT illnesss! totally groovy!

600cc ZX E?

too bad its the newer version, doesnt look like Max bike
what year's model?

love the reg plate btw

whats your wheelie record? speed, length?

buying one myself when the snow melts away, have the money ready and waiting. Counting down the days till summer. Just have to get rid of my enduro, then maybe i can afford the reg plate to.
Not exactly one of those though, a ZZ-R 600. (maybe a ZX-6R, but i think ill go with the ZZR)
Dunno if its any different to the ZX E, maybe just the name, maybe a european version?. Do you know?

This is a 2001 ZX-6 E and yes it’s mine. Since the bike(s) that were made for Dark Angel were customized Japanese 350’s. This is obviously not the exact motorcycle-prop used in Dark Angel. But, it’s going to be as close as you can get, soon…

Project: Ninja – Dark Angel ZX Hybrid (not completed yet)
Soon after I got my bike, I began research on a possible 300/350 (Japan)/ZX 6 hybrid. This thing is going to look exactly like the Dark Angel bike when I’m done, only a little fatter around the engine. I’m pleased to say that I’m about 60% complete with the new hybrid.

The biggest problem I ran into is fitting the 350 nose and 300 lower engine cowling. A company called, xenophya, recast the cowling from a Japanese 350/ to fit the ZX 6. That crap cost a boatload! I’ve also just completed the addition of a ZR 600 4 piston braking system and add Hi-Po mufflers. I still have to complete a few other small things, too. But since the show is gone and there’s nothing left to blow money on... The project has slowed a bit, I’m going to finish, but it’s keeping Dark Angel around, somewhat.

The bike was purchased new in 2001 and has 23.6 miles on it. I have other bikes to ride… And, I’ve never done a wheelie on a sport bike or any street bike for that matter.

Youre missing out
..or maybe playing it safe (smart thing) Costs a fortune when (not if) you crash... and it hurts too.

How are you going to deal with the tail? Thats pretty different from the ZZ-R/ZX6E
And remember the mirrors.

Hope youre not mounting a 300cc engine! that be a mistake, dunno the exact figures but the 250cc got about 32hk on it and weighs, what? 150kilos, and if youre converting a 600cc, then what? around 200kg. Maybe looks nice but not so fun to ride. Not so much to do when another bike pulls up next to you and wants to race.

Maybe I got it wrong, have no idea what all the terms you used means, Im from europe and just know bike-terms in swedish =/.

You got any specifics on that matter? I would be veery intrested.


BTW, do you got any progress-pics on it? what it looks like right now?

Lol, no I’m not going to put a 300cc engine on a 600cc bike… lol It would have been cheaper for me to go to Japan and buy a 350 before that…

Yes, obviously I have a number of details on the Dark Angel bike. As time progresses, I intend to blueprint my work as I go…

Yes, I have the mirror and the blinker problem resolved. The rear is being replaced with the 350 using custom brackets. This will leave a couple of gaps off center… That’s where the body shop people come in… It’s not really going to be noticeable, as I said it’s going to be a little fatter in-places. But not much… The only real problem I have left to resolve is the wheels… You can’t put those wheels from a 350 on a ZX 6.

Currently, I don’t have any pictures of the project in process. But, I can describe it as 60 % together and 40% apart. It looks worse than it actually is.

Thank god, thought you were insane for a moment


With a big risk of getting very off topic.
But I thought I ask you since you dont seem new to "custom" work.

As i said im going to buy a ZZ-R, european version. And all the swedish versions tails look like this:


Ischoli! No, I dont wann change it justto make it look more like Max bike, its not a 250 tail I wanna change to. Its the one that looks like this:


The one with integrated turning lights looks way to bulky and.. i dont know, ugly. Its pretty much the same tail, just with seperate turning lights. So I wondered, is it possible? difficult? expensive?

Should i contact the local Kawasaki dealer to get a hold of one? Or do I need to order from overseas?

Appreciate any help

Just for the record, there are a lot of people that’d call me insane…

You may want to look at a 2000 or 2001, 250. I don’t know a lot about the European bikes. But, I think earlier models (of Kawasaki’s) had pod-type blinkers. You should probably keep in mind that they made that change for a reason. If you ever drop your bike you’re going to break the blinkers off. Which might make it hard to get home. That’s why they went to the organically molded cowling over the pod-mounted blinkers. This type of blinker mounting has hung around on the superbikes because they can be easily removed for race applications.

In any event, if you wanted to change the backend it’s not going to be easy. It’s probably going to require custom bracketing that you’ll have to make yourself or contract someone else too…

If you shopped around you could probably find a used 2000 and save yourself some real dough.

Hmm, I just read all the posts and began laughing at myself, becoz Im exactly the same as most of you! Im just SO glad I aint the only one!
Heres my list:

Firstly: You know when you're addicted to DA when you join a Message board concerned with the sadly axed show . . .

When you start to check the back of your friends neck, just in case...
When you decide to work out and lift weight every week just to look as good as Max. You know you can do it. Mind over matter.
When nobody around you understands where those bip, bip, bip come from, but you do so you overstand.
When you have those daydreams (quite violent I must say) about kickin' the asses of all the people bustin' your chops all day long.
When phrases like This is enemy territory... Always assume they're lying you'll live longer...come to your mind, especially when you have to deal with your boss and her sneaky ways.

CHeck It dude, i got the mini version:

when you r walking down a corridor behind a teacher and "BIP, BIP, BIP we're called jam pony not jam clydesdale" slips out of your mouth and while in detention your still drawing pictures of your fav cast members!

When everytime you see a navy blue Aztec you think it's either Logan or Max and Logan in the car and you want to stop and look and say hello I've had that happening to me here lately LOL

that same thing has been happening to me too, Flyin! Everybody in my town has got the new Aztec and they are all blue, well one or two grey, but mostly blue.

You know you're obsessed when:

1)You get both seasons on DVD for Christmas
2)You force your dad to watch the first episode, and once he's hooked you spend every day watching episode after episode
3)You have argument with your dad over whether or not Zack is really dead (he has not seen season 2 and you don't want to ruin it for him)
4)You often find yourself saying 'Gotta blaze' 'It's all good, all the time' 'Bip bip bip!' and so on and so forth
5)You have created a role-playing website all about DA *directs you to http://www.avidgamers.com/DarkAngel/*

10)You are contemplating overcoming your fear of needles so you could get a barcode tattoo
11)Dream of being a transgenic and joining Max in the fight against 'normals'
12)Believe that you just may be a transgenic... after all, you can run faster than normal...
13)Believe that with your current 8 years of martial arts training you could help Max kick ass (cuz you know that girls kick ass, it said so on a tee shirt)

I'd love to post more about my insane obsession with DA, but I gotta blaze.

WOW You got it pretty bad there Jesus Freak LOL

Glad I'm not the only one daja4ever..I thought I was going plain loco!! Atleast I know I'm not crazy
