Looks good - are the aluminum motor mounts from a ZX14/14R?
1287 Superbike ? lol
I like many of you good folks here, love road racing. The two tracks I have frequented are
Gratton Raceway and Gingerman. The ZX12R is of course not a zx6 but so what.
A 12 is a lot of fun. And since I have spare parts, I’m going to put together a dedicated track bike.
I picked up a salvage frame awhile ago. Beat up pretty good. Cracked in the middle.
So I had it stripped. I asked the guy not to sand blast it. He said no problem. He’d use something not so abrasive. But of course, he sandblasted it. Aggravating.

Bob at Daredevil Fab started by fixing the crack and welding up a mess for the battery cover boss. I shaped it and drill/tap the new hole.

No project would be complete unless you get a box from ScottDavisRacing! Lol

20 minute short track fuel tank. Factory fuel pump and injectors should be plenty for the 1287. Nice and clean.

Really interesting to see this project come together!!
Deleted the ignition switch, the headlight wiring and the left hand switch assembly and wiring.
Pulled the wiring for the dash indicator lights and fuel level too.

flipped the red on/off and hit the starter and everything still working...lol
Need to delete a few things at the rear of the harness next.

Cleaned up what won’t be used in the tail. Ecu lays nice in the zx10 battery box so that was easy.
moving the rectifier. Have some fiberglass sheet that I cut a piece for a sturdy light mount. The fairing mount has that extra tang for the oem overflow. So the mount hole at the front bolts down to the fairing bracket and the fiberglass easily supports the rear of the rectifier.

Deutsch connectors are really nice. Makes easy work of wires.

The wiring for the stator and rectifier is odd. When you strip off the tape, four 12gage wires butt into two 14gage wires. Seems weird looking at it.
I didn’t change anything, just shortened everything up. I wonder why it’s configured this way.
