Hi all... I've got a 2004 ZX10r that has a ton of work put into her, shes my pride and joy and I've put countless hours of sweat and elbow grease into her.

I'm on the zx-10r.net forums and I asked if they thought my bike was magazine worthy and quite a few said yes and thought I should do some searching on this site to see if I can get anyones attention.

Hi, hows it going.... Well I've been working on my bike over the past 2 years and where shes at right now is pretty much exactly what I wanted.... I think the paint might change up a lil but but its going to stay black for a little bit longer.

but yeah let me know if its possible to maybe get it in the magazine.... I've actually been really wanting to get it into a magazine for quite some time... I have a ton of pictures of it at my site and such.... also here's a link to a picture of my step fathers turbo busa I built as well...

(300mm tire kit, nitrous, intercooled turbo... she moves pretty good!)

Just a lil info about me I'm 23 years old, have been working in the industry for the past few years starting with jet ski racing for a Kawi sponsored world champ in 05... the shop was destroyed with the hurricanes so i was out of a job for a lil while and after that I went to work for a local shop. I got my bike in april 06 and have been modding it since then. I am about 2 weeks from graduating MMI Orlando taking the Kawasaki Elective.

The bike was built for top speed in mind I actually am looking to take the 1000cc all motor class record at maxton or at your guys top speed challenge at the Maxton mile but I havent been able to get up to maxton to check things out just yet.

I have spent alot of time and money and ALOT of weeks eating peanutbutter sandwhiches to trick out the bike.  She weighes about 390-395lbs fully wat right now and makes amazing horsepower.... so far sicne I have had her complete she has gone undefeated around here.

My name is Shawn Malanaphy and my cell is 1-561-324-9414 if you need to get in touch with me but I'm always online... my website is www.garthman.com as well if you would like to see any more stuff

No actually when I took that picture the bike wasnt even really finished, you cant see it in the pics but theres a big drip on the right side fairings but we've gone ahead and wet sanded and buffed the painted parts and the bottom of the tank was sprayed to to hide that orange.
