First, I apologize if this is not the right place for this post. I've been a lurker here for a long time and have even ridden with some of you, but this will be my first post.
My neighbor and I have teamed up for the following cause. The bike is in our possession, and we are currently putting together a list of parts the bike will need. Any donations that can be made (either parts or cash) would be greatly appreciated.
The bike is a 2003 ZX6R (636), currently painted black. We haven't decided yet on what color or theme the bike will have, but right now we know it needs a complete set of fairings and all the fasteners, right passenger peg, and front left foot peg, among other misc. pieces and parts. The bike was previously used as a track bike (only 3000 miles), and has no major damage. The fairings on the bike are carbon race fairings in pretty ugly shape. We'd like to make this bike something special.
THE LAWRENCE DAVID EZELL MEMORIAL BIKE
On April 30, 2008, the wife and family of SFC Lawrence David Ezell of Fort Carson were notified that this Colorado hero had been killed in action in Baghdad, Iraq. SFC Ezell made this ultimate sacrifice that his brothers and sisters in arms and we here, might continue on in safety and return to peace.
Given participation by Patriot Guard Riders at services for SFC Ezell at Arlington National Cemetery; wife Christy contacted the PGR. We were advised that her husband would have insisted his motorcycle be donated to the Patriot Guard, backing its mission of support to our servicemen and women here and overseas.
After initially declining the offer as a generosity too great in its nature, we had the honor of meeting Dave and Christy’s 2 year old son, Tristan and our mission changed. It is now our passion to return SFC Ezell’s beloved ZX-6 Kawasaki to like new condition, adding special paint and detail to commemorate his life and dedication to our country. Once complete, this motorcycle will be sold and every penny received, plus any additional donations remaining will be invested in an education fund turned back to his son, Tristan.
Please send monetary donations to:

If anyone has any spare 03/04 ZX6R/RR parts laying around they'd like to donate, please contact me via PM, and I'll provide a shipping address.
Thanks to all!
