I cant stand seeing all these half assed "Street Fighter" conversions on craigslist after the owner crashed it, literally just taking the fairings off and calling it a naked bike
I'm not saying I'm a master bike builder or anything, but if I can do it, you def can guy
What I would be more concerned with in regards to that ZX7 is engine damage, be it from crashing, being thrashed on and what not. If your going to buy that bike, make sure to look over that motor/trans for any damage or cracks/leaks etc, I had an R6 I bought that the guy had JB welded the timing chain side of the head together, those bikes suffer from the engine mount, conveniently mounted as part of the head, breaking off during crashes/wheelies, I cant believe it still ran.
offer him like 7-800, cant hurt and worse he can say is no
