AIRTECH BODY

HELLO ALL HERES WHATS UP I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A ZX 1100 EARLY 1990S BUT HAVE HEARD STORIES ABOUT THE MOTORS GOING BAD ON THEM. A GUY I KNOW TOOK A 90 ZX1100 AND PUT A KZ900 MOTOR IN IT VERY SWEET BIKE PRO STREET ALL THE WAY!! ANYWAY I CAME ACROSS AIRTECH BODYS A FEW DAYS AGO AND SEEN A 1985-86 ZX900 BODY THAT IS MADE TO FIT A KZ FRAME (I HAVE GOT TO HAVE THIS BUT NOT TO SURE ABOUT THE FIT OR WORKMENSHIP OF IT SO I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS TRYED ONE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

First of all, turn off caps lock, nobody appreciates being yelled at. Secondly, I think there's someone on here who works at airtech, I'm sure they can answer your questions. I think from what I've seen that their workmanship is great.

sorry didnt know thanks i hope he reads this

No worries, and welcome. I'm sure someone with some airtech experience will chime in.

I've seen both these bodies used on dragbikes. Beaseley also makes a version fo this one. To use these on a KZ frame takes some work. Not bad though. You will need to build mounts onto the stock frame to anchor body with. Different racers nount in different areas so it's really what you want to do and where to put the mounts. They use Dzus fasteners on race bikes but the body could be mounted more permanently with a little more work. Either way, they will take some work...they are not a bolt on type of bodywork like the stock pieces. They do make good looking bikes when done though. I'll see if I can post a few pictures of some bikes...

Just for reference but if you look closely you can see how the body was mounted on this frame. One is on top of backbone near fork neck, one is where tank and seat met and the other is on rear of frame. This is a drag frame but just an idea. For the street, the body could be mounted more permanently. Have to figure out how and where to mount a fuel tank. Wouldn't be able to ride a passenger either. But...it can be done if you really want it!

great pics guys it looks like the seat sits super low do you have to do any frame mods. besides bolting it on the frame dont want to cut up the bike..

It will depend on how you mount it. This frame actually had one of these bodies mounted on it. This one had the seat rails cut and lowered. Some did this just to lower the seat so they would be tucked in lower for a lower e.t. Some just mounted them on top of the stock seat rails. Body sits higher naturally but both ways were used.

i will have to feel it out to see which way i would go. to let everyone know if it can be built i can do it im pretty handy!! so i do understand where your coming from with your post. keep them coming i plan on this being a street bike just uptown - bike nites ect. will the body hold up to riding without cracks. the pic i put on the first post is what i am intrested in with that fairing would you have to rack the forks
