2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR - superdetailed build

[Roca46]

Great job Ole_L, nice details , those Top Studio kits are awesome. Are you thinking to make the bike without the fairings?, I mean with the bike naked and the fairings painted on the side?

I will keep the eye on this concretly on the chain

Bye!
Roca.

Yes, the bike will be displayed with the fairings off. It would be a shame to button it all up.

Absolutely incredible work!

Here's a few close-up images of all the electronics.





I'm also working on the swingarm. It was detailed up using PE from the TopStudio set and KA Models CF decals.





I also installed the main wiring harness down the side of the frame. Still have everything to connect. Once the engine is installed, it should look a bit easier on the eye.

Great job on a very complicated wiring. I will be tackling the RR kit next up after my Honda - so I am going to have to follow you as close as possible.

It's crazy how much that looks like a real bike. Nice work so far Ole!

I think you do some of the most intricate and best executed detail wiring on here, As yet I have avoided any real detailing like that, what is the best way to handle and too glue these wiring kits in place, any tips!? fantastic work, great cf too.

Thanks for that!! Much appreciated.

I usually drill a little hold in the connector with a #78 or #79 bit, then remove the insulation on the wire just a bit, exposing the core and glue it with thin CA glue. Some of the connectors have a rubber shielding. For that, I use shink tube and just heat it a bit to make it conform.

I have a PitPass book with all the close-up detail of this bike - it shows that the nose intake cone (where all the wiring is sitting on top of) is CF - are you going to CF it too?

I was contemplating for a bit, but decided not to do it for the intake.

Excellent work so far, I have wanted to do this build since I saw all the parts were available and seeing yours has inspired me to purchase the Top Studio set about 30 minutes ago!!!!!!

Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to seeing more!

Great work. I love the details on this one. Keep it coming.

I got a little bit done this weekend. Since I messed up the MFH chain, I'm going to use the CrazyModeler PE chain. Not as nice, but not bad either.



I got the brakes and wheels done too. For some reason, TopStudio only include the rear brake disc, but fortunately CrazyModeler include three different front brakes in their PE set.





Finally, I got the engine installed and some of the wires hooked up. The swingarm is almost complete and will be installed next.

That is nuts man! It has to be a good feeling to see some green on those wheels though!
Everything is shaping up beautifully!
