For a long time, there has been a question around motorcycle enthusiasts: what is the significance of modification? There are many different answers to this question, and different needs will have different answers, which may be performance enhancement, personality expression, or changes to meet a certain purpose.
But if you have a motorcycle that is basically fully equipped, what is your reason for changing it?
Let’s take a look at the modification case of Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE from Japanese rider Ryunosuke (ins: ryunosuke_0729) with questions.
PUIG competitive windshield
The front part of the motorcycle bears the brunt of the green windshield. It is worth mentioning that this color is specially launched by PUIG for Kawasaki models. The color matching and SE are also quite unique, but the editor personally prefers the transparent color (competitive). The material is made of non-breakable high-toughness acrylic. The shape designed by the PUIG pneumatic test is 40mm higher than the original one, and the spoiler effect is exempt from inspection products~
Rizoma Stealth series fixed-wing rearview mirror
The Rizoma fixed wind wing rearview mirror is well known for its handsomeness, and the temperament of any imitation racing motorcycle will be improved immediately. Of course, the 10R SE is no exception. The Red Dot Award makes a product famous, and product design is hard power.
JET PRIME track switch
The same style of MotoGP is adopted while taking into account the functions of daily control. Being handsome comes at a price, because wiring is a test of the basic skills of maintenance technicians on wiring. You just need to be handsome and leave the rest to the maintenance technicians~
SAMCO Kawasaki green silicone hose
The original black engine part has bright green embellishments to make it more three-dimensional, and at the same time provides better heat resistance and pressure resistance than the original water pipe. If green is not your style, SAMCO can provide a variety of color customization solutions to meet individual needs. (As long as you are willing to wait for the delivery date, you can still order a variety of limited colors, what camouflage, ice blue, etc.)
RK Kawasaki limited X-XW chain
RK's commercially available competitive chain for Kawasaki is limited to 50 pieces in Japan, and the number is very rare. But the editor thinks that it is obvious that RK has other chains of the same color to choose from, but the motorcycle owner uses a rare limited edition. This love is really only experienced by motorcycle lovers!
X.A.M Symphony Steel Crankset
A small detail worth noting! Have you saved the phantom crankset on the left side of the rear of the 10R-SE, and the phantom tail section on the right, which can be described as "perfect" in two words. This color coordination modification idea has been obtained~
Asahina racing GP series titanium alloy tail section
The appearance of the JDM round tube is modeled on the GP of the 1990s. As for whether it looks good or not, it varies from person to person. The editor can accept the TOT style racing round tube, but I feel that the owner should be an old Tsukuba gun, because asahina is a small factory mainly The active area is the Tsukuba Circuit. Returning to the product itself, the product positioning is aimed at the entry of the track. The tube body is made of titanium alloy so that the net weight is only 1150g. The replacement of the original back pressure chamber and valve at the tail section is unavoidable for low torque. It is also not friendly to walk on the street, so it is destined to be used in the racetrack.
Brembo GP4-RX radiation caliper
The GP4-RX radiation caliper is CNC-cut and integrally formed, and the surface is then nickel-plated. Compared with the general radiation caliper, the rigidity is stronger. Compared with the original M50 caliper of 10R-SE, it is of course lighter. It is more concise, completely reduces the weight under the wheel, and the braking force and feel are completely improved to the next level.
GALE SPEED VRC 16-pound pump
The "beautiful abalone" is not without other "good materials", the owner replaced the pump with Gale speed VRC 16 pounds. VRC series upper pump can change the force lever ratio, so that the driver can pursue their own preferred feel, coupled with CNC cutting one piece of exquisite processing, a word "positive"..
Appreciation is complete! If I were to rate this SE version of the " Big Machine", I would score 90 points. There are 2 reasons for the high score.
1- The owner is very smart to improve the performance while taking into account the color matching to show the personality, killing two birds with one stone
2- From the motorcycle owner's dedication to the parts and the enthusiasm behind the motorcycle to the editor, just imagine, abandoning the SC project's big factory tail section and replacing it with the handmade tail section of the Japanese craftsman's small workshop, obviously the EK chain of consumables also has the same color chain. Can be replaced, but stick to the limited edition.
The remaining 10 points are reserved for the secondary evolution of 10R-SE, looking forward to it~
Returning to the question at the beginning, what is the meaning of modification? After reading this case, the editor has a new answer option, which is the love of motorcycles.
The significance of the modification to the audience is that you are welcome to have a friendly discussion and exchange~~
