Is it possible to get rid of or change so its not so ugly looking?

I feel my bike looks newer then it is until you see the cage

You just need to get the bracket things off the ZZR-600 bike that were made up through (I think) 2008.

EDIT: I think it's this thing here, but don't quote me on that: ZZR600 Fairing Stay

I know it can be done and I think that's the part you need, but you'll want confirmation from another source before going ahead with it, I think

lol - writing past each other there. I edited my original post to include a link to what I think you would need. I think it's just called a "fairing stay"

If that's not the piece you need, just do a bit more looking into it. There have been tons of folks on this forum who've done it and plenty more elsewhere on the internet. Your answer is out there, just search for it.

Just a few inspirational pages to look at. There are quite a few more you'll run into if you keep searching. I've learned so much reading through all the build threads and what not. It takes time, but you learn so much.

watch when you look for zzr600 parts.
it has to be from 05-08 or you get the E model.

2002 Kawasaki NINJA ZX-6R (ZX600-J3) Cowling(ZX600-J3) | Babbitts Kawasaki Parts House

part is called mirror bracket Part#11050

in the 05-08 models it's gonna be a fairing stay or official term BRACKET-COMP,METER&MIRROR STAY, Part#23062.
2007 Kawasaki ZZR600 (ZX600J7F) Cowling | Babbitts Kawasaki Parts House

Don't go for the chinese cast iron cheap stuff. I had 2 of those before i spent the same amount for 1 used oem stay compared to the 2 that broke right at the mirror mount at the slightest stress.
this is an example of a bad one.
Upper Fairing Cowl Headlight Stay Bracket Fit 2005 2008 Kawasaki ZZR 600 ZZR600 | eBay

this is OEM
Kawasaki ZZR 600 Fairing Stay Bracket 00 01 02 05 06 07 08 ZX600 zx6r T486 | eBay

there... 5min of work and you got it all layed out on a silver platter.

I kept the g2 front and put a 2006 zzr600 fairing stay on mine. Took a little custom work to combine the zzr stay and my stock cluster mount, but I think it was def worth it.

I'm currently messing about with mine at the minute anyway, 04 tail and looking to change the g2 front to a J. Definitely going to do it though.
