I bought me a 01 ZX6 Ninja monday and started making it my own. I will be changing the color here soon but this pic on the left is when I bought it and 5 days later its current state until October, then going pearl white with red graphics and red wheels.

 

Nice ride. If you are going to do away with the grab rail for the passenger, you should see if you can get a solo seat with cowling for it. You could paint up the cowling at the same time as the rest.
