I am still, and probably always will be doing conversions for people who can get there Z to me. The entire reason for me to discontinue them through the mail is because I am in the process of selling my Z. Every conversion requires a Z to check and recalibrate the needles. Since I won't have a Z anymore, it will be impossible for me to complete the conversions.

Gauge faces are purchased from Alex at Blackcatcustom.com.


Something I just noticed, your oil pressure is too low. You didn't place the needle back in the correct spot. At idle, the oil pressure never goes below the middle left mark.

My oil pressure is at the 1/4 mark at idle after fully warmed up.. (10-15 mins of driving) it is only at half few mins after startup.

Exactly as I said. His needle is sitting below 1/4. Middle left mark = 1/4.

Sorry I wasn't clear.. oil pressure at warm up isn't always going to be exactly at 1/4.. depending on how old your oil is and how many miles you've put on the oil, the oil pressure will be lower / higher. For instance, when I used motul 8100, my warmed up pressure was always lower than the 1/4 mark after 2k miles.. but on my 0w-40 it drops lower than 1/4 mark after 4-5k miles..

That's my ride in the photos from Acree. Sickest mod ever and ooohhhhh so exclusive!!!

After seeing Acree do this mod with my own eyes I cant recommend anyone trying this one on their own. Accept no substitutes, lock up your conversion dates before he heads back to school. Best money spent so far. If you can bribe him to do the conversion on site, he may cut you a break if you let him take your sportbike for a ride.

ALL HAIL ACREE !!!!!

I always wanted to get this done and I'm in the area too but sadly dont have the funds to do it. The look is off the charts though!
