Here is my Zero SR in white. This is the oem white bodywork that Zero uses on their police bikes. I think the white on the Sr looks stunning!


Also pictured is my Tire Watch tpms. I like The Tire Watch system for my Zero because it is simple and self contained. It does not need to be wired to the bike to get power. Also, the pressure sensors installed on the wheels come with 90' valve stems.



Here is my custom Baldwin Saddle. Its a stock zero seat that had been modified by Baldwin. Baldwin uses memory foam and gel. I love the ostrich finish. You can specify the vinyl style or leather and stitching color.


The headlight has an led bulb. Nice and bright and draws much less amps then a halogen bulb.

Very nice combo!

I like the white, and have a white DS, and also enjoy an ostrich-leather seat (orangish-tan).

One thing about a white bike is that there is as much black as white due to the frame, wheels, etc. A black bike on the other hand is all black. I think the Zero lends itself to light colors...red, yellow, white, to offset all the black parts. Gold would be a good color too.

Agree about the light colors. I had a 13s before the SR and it was yellow. I loved the bike in yellow. When I got the SR, the red wasn't as good looking. I almost did yellow bodywork. When I found out I could get the police white bodywork I decided to do that. It turned out better than I thought. Usually, I am a black bike fan but not on the zero.

Also, not pictured.. I'll get a picture up of it soon... I have the givi trekker rear case. I think zero offered it mostly for the DS but I think it looks better than the standard roundish cases that most bikes have. Sportier... Of course, I cannot fit a helmet it it but I usually take my helmet with me.

Do you have more information of your

The headlight has an led bulb

[Yon]

What more can you tell us about your LED headlight?  Did you just replace the bulb?  Any and all details appreciated.

[amahoser]

I purchased the led headlight bulb from Electrical Connection. It's 1800 lumens so it is plenty bright. Here is a link http://www.electricalconnection.com/other-lighting/led-hl-h4.htm

It has a ballast like the hids but it is very small and a fan that mounts behind the bulb. Easy install and fit no problem.

Works well. However,I purchased it a long time ago. Nowadays, eBay has fan less ones and even ones where the ballast is mounted on the bulb itself so install is even easier. The eBay ones boast even higher lumens and at a much cheaper price than what electrical connection charges.

I used a Xenon light on my BMW C1 scooter but was not satisfied by real night driving performance even if the light was so white and has a electromagnetic driven high and low beam. Anyway I think I was better seen by car driver with the xenon but as I'm driving on the french country side by night, under the rain, I need to see the road at its best, the xenon was a no-go.

On your LED light how is working the low and high beam difference ?
And did you test it by night ridding out of town ? What's your impression ?

Have a safe ride !

The low beam is better than the stock halogen. The spread seems to be about the same but the light output is better. I use my Zero as a commuter so I am not certain about back winding road performance but for freeways and city streets it's great. I ride almost every day. High beam does not have as big of a difference I see in terms of light output as the difference that I see on the halogens. It seems to be the same output but the light's reach is longer. But since low beam is so much better than stock, I think its fine.

Thanks a lot for the inside. I think I will give it a try, haven't look yet at the new fanless models you were talking about.
Have a good week

Can you tell me what's the cost?  I would like to redo the foam in memory foam if it doesn't cost too much.

$400 is what Baldwin charged to do my seat. Personally (custom seats are a VERY personal opinion... what feels great to one person may not be the same for someone else) I find Baldwin seats to be the most comfortable. I have tried Corbin, Sargent and Bill Mayer seats on a variety of bikes over the years. This is the only seat I bought that I bought again. I have a Blawdin on my Concours 1400 and my Zero. I got the seat for my '13 Zero S and I transfered it to my '14 SR when i got it.

if thats above your budget, I have heard great reviews on the Kawasaki Concours forum about Spencer's Seat mod. He modifies a stock seat (I believe... ) with foam an gel for about $50 to $75. I haven't tried it personally but from what I read, it does work well..

Thanks amahoser, With the side and top cases, windshield, and seat mod these "necessities" are becoming expensive.  That and my all LED conversion project .

I spoke to Zero Parts and they warned me that the white turns beige/yellow in only 6 months in the sun. Do you believe this to be true? How long have you had yours?
