There is a KZ1000ST with ZRX1200 shocks on it in this Thread

Wow that was quick
Thanks steell

Right on...Someone else that's putting Rex parts on Their "Z".
I'm doing the same thing,along with wheels,forks and swinger(this winter)...lol...so expect to hear a lot of swearing later on.

I had a pair of ZRX shocks on my bike, they worked really great but I didn't care for the way they looked, they seemed a bit out of place on an old cafe style bike. They're taller (a tad over 14") than stock shocks but there's a ring on there you can take of to adjust sag. They have adjustable compression and rebound, the works. It's a nice upgrade if you are looking too keep dual shocks and a get a mild streetfighter look. Could see that mixing quite well with a ZRX 1100 swingarm I found some Marzocchis for mine

I've got them on mine, too. I had a real nice pair of Sporteys on for about a month but the centerstand dragged a couple of times during in town riding and I figured I might really drag it good out in the country. I had to shim the ZREX shocks on the left side to keep it away from the chain and I had to modify the chainguard but it is still sturdy enough to do its job. I haven't played around with the settings enough to know what is good yet. I think that there is a site somewhere that will aid in their adjustment, but I haven't gone looking for it yet. As far as looks, my bike isn't classic anything so I think that they look pretty good--probably spiff it up a bit.

I said "old"

Sorry dutchz, I was talking about mine. Maybe if you had chipped a little of the paint on the shocks or sprayed them with flat black you could have had the "old" look

Ive got a gsx11 arm on the bike that im happy with so ill deffinatly be sticking with the dual shocks. Zrx ones sound like they should be good, better than the pogo sticks on the bike now
