Default Trackbike arrived

As said sometime ago I got myself a zxr400L to use as a trackbike. Well today it arrived and I'm now looking for a full exhaust system to be able to use it on the road and track

So if anyone knows of one going please let me know.

Thanks

And I just thought, you sure its an L model?

I'm not an expert on the ZXR400, but I always thought that an easy way to spot the difference in the L and H models were the fork legs. L model legs are the natural metal color while H models fork bottoms were back like yours. I could have it round the wrong way (though I hope I don't as I believe I have L forks) or I maybe completely wrong...

I've been told it's an L according to chassis number and year of registration....maybe the forks had been changed or you might have got it the other way round

Yep agreed. Done some more digging after posting, turns out I have H forks instead of the L model I thought they were. Oh well, off to eBay again.

If your still after a pipe, head over to 400 Grey Bike and ask there...

Yeah basically they are the same. Looking at part numbers there are a couple of small differences between them, they use slightly different spacers and adjusters, and fork leg bottoms as they are black on an L and silver on a H.

But in the main I'm not sure. However I know that the L and H run slightly different brake disc's, 300mm and 310mm IIRC. Not sure why though.

However I feel we may be detracting from 600+'s thread... So, you had it on the track yet?
