a few questions have you ever dynoed the turbo and if so how much power and what kind of boost also how much does that big block get riden on the street by the way welcome and awesome bike you have there. one other how much has the front end been raked it looks real nasty.

Yes those are the race Chicanes, The best rims ever (hey I'm old school)

The ZRX is nice, it handles good and is smooth. I am 5,7. How would I rate it? I like it. It is a good all around cruising- fun bike, I mostly ride around town. I hate to admit it but the old six is a ton of fun, it doesn't do anything real good but it is so smooth and sounds sweet.

I dynoed it back in the early 90's, it made 250hp at about 18 psi with a bone stock 9000 mile head and stock timed stock cams, shortly after I built the current head. It is basically an old school Funnybike head with the cams timed like we would on a funnybike. I have ridden it quite a bit on the street, it has been to Bikeweek a number of times in the 90's. One year at Bikeweek I was sitting at a light when Jesse James pulled up along side and gave me a thumbs up. Pretty cool.

The front end is raked 4 degrees, you can roll along at 150, hit the boost and she handles like a Cadillac.

that brother is my kind of ride i'm in the process of building a 1393 z1 that in the near future will be inhaleing a lot of happy gas i have already raked the frame 7 degrees and just finished a gpz head for it and all i'm waiting for now is a mtc lock up and a fresh basket which should be next week. i have a widened gsxr wheel and a double club foot swing arm that is 8 over stock so hopefully i can keep the wheel on the ground. i will ride it but not that much it really being built for a street bike index class we have up here i'm thinking it should be alot of fun.i'm just slapping some tremclad on the frame for this season but over the winter it's getting a real paint job.

Where have you been all of this time? Nice collection. You have a coulple of bikes on my want list. Welcome to KZR!

Tb Sounds like fun, I built a few of those back in the day. You'll be in good shape with that 8 over arm. My tip is to use a new stock set of H1 500 springs with that lockup and play with the weights. I've seen so many kill a good combo with the wrong clutch springs.

Testa Thank you
