ZRX 20th Anniversary Build
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2017 10:11 pm
Hello Folks,
As some of you have spotted I have been fiddling with a ZRX for the last few months.
Got stripped to frame and had some cylinder head work done.
New paint, engine covers, hydraulics rebuilt etc.
Not quite finished but back on the road for testing & adjustment now.
With a last few parts awaited from Kawasaki.
The plan was to take a low mileage, fairly original example and take it back to showroom condition where possible.
It's a kind of celebration of 20 years of the marque, and the original dealer in Scotland who sold it from new supplied us with one of their new bike plates - just like when she came out of the crate - which was a nice touch.
We got her in mid November 2016 and the plan was to be finished for Easter and taxed for 1st of May - so it is running a little ahead of schedule at the moment.
First 40 mile road test went well with no leaks spotted afterwards. Going in for headlamp to be set to MOT standards on Monday.
I will do a photo story for the rebuild on the Zedrider website in the next few weeks if anyone is interested in the stages.
Thanks again for the advice & support with it on here
