I would of slanted the shocks more forward to raise the back end a bit or rotate the eccentrics.

in the newer pick i have the shocks laid down more at the top, towards the front.
u have to remember that this frame is dif.than the zrx.
i copied the shock angle of the zrx, so the shock action is the same as yours. but this brought issues . the output sprocket to swingarm axle spacing is dif. on modern bikes, so this causes chain tension issues as u raise the rear end, above the stock kz geometry. i had to run the chain looser, and add a idler wheel, to pick up the slack. raising the rear also lessens the rake . i had to modify the front trees to try to gain some of the lost clearance, and level the bike a bit. the clearance is not a big deal on the street , but huge on the track. the front end isnt bad but it could stand a little more trail.
thanks for the kind words.

Dupli-Color, NO WAY, say it isn't so, how is this possible.....

Mark that just plain & simply looks amazing!

Truly a work of art...

nice work Mark, where did ya get that seat???

Thanks Dave. your bike has been an inspiration to many here.

Jonny, i modified a zrx seat. go back to pg 9, 10. they should explain what i did, and what i would do ,if i was to redo the seat.
any questions, just ask.

very nice mark!

bike looks great,

Really nice Mark BTW, I have a zrx seat on the way from ebay. It appears it should fit nicely with my cut down LTD pan. Crossing fingers. If not, I will have a really nice 99 zrx1100 seat up for grabs!

Really, really nice work bud,

Bill

that is one sweet ride mark!! what track are you riding at? love the paint, what process did you use for the inner panel on the tank? nice work man

go back 2 pages and there is an explanasion of how i did the paint.
i ride at Shannonville and Mosport.
there is a group called Take on the track at Shanny. they rent the track for 2 hours every 2 weeks,so i ride there mostly. i do take the kz but i mostly ride my cbr600f4i .

Speechless.... That is fantastic Mark!!

X2. Very nice!

I know this is a year later but I haven't been on the board. OMR, you can't handle the duplicolor truth.
Mark, that is amazing at all the friggin work you put in to getting your bike together. WOW. Now I understand why Yianni Punani hates most swingarms and has his made custom. I have to give all of you streetfighters heavy cred on the mods. I guess when you change things you have to re-engineer a lot of stuff. Props to you and all of you who do these things!
