ZRX Turbo is on the road!
It's been a retirement project that I have really enjoyed. I've bought a 636 swingarm & wheel with future plans of getting Coby to stretch it a tad to help with the wheelies. Nothing crazy, maybe 3 or 4" over.
Right now I'm just gonna ride.........woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!
Next project..........the 12. :-)

That is Beautiful! WHere is your Chain Guard and Fender Extender to keep the Road off the Turbo!?? Have you ridden this Monster yet? I rather steal your Garage than the Bike (Because I already have plenty of Bikes

Rode about 20 miles today trying to get used to it and it feels GOOD!
I've got it very rich and when it goes on the main jets it stutters but it will loft the wheel in 4th at 7500rpm. I haven't pulled any timing out of it yet so I'm taking it kinda easy.
Vincent....I was measuring the swingarm and left the guard off, it'll go back on.
Shane,
I've been told that with the factory pieces and rake / trail the ZRX is not too happy going really fast. I need to talk with ZRXDean before I get stupid, he knows what it takes to go fast and keep stable on these bikes.
Thanks guys for the kudo's. I always liked these bikes and when I met Dean a few years ago, I commited to building one. His bike was the baddest looking thing out there in my opinion.

Wow, VERY nice Dan.... what a beaut(hard not to like anything with a turbo on it these days, I'm even considering boosting one of my Harley's someday).
I'm with Vincent though(btw, hello there Hill!), it's even harder to overlook a clean garage(I'd expect no less frrom you though).
Hope to see ya'll again shortly(you ECTA people seem to be eveywhere online - haha),

Scott,
I just ordered an adjustable ignition rotor to pull some timing out, will do that before any dyno time. The kit is suppose to make around 200hp on pump gas (8psi) and maybe 240hp or so on 110 octane at 12#'s of boost.
Todd,
Good to hear from you. Chad will be at Maxton next month but me and momma will be working at Myrtle Beach Bike Week.
I will be back running in September, we had a good time last month.......see you then.
Dan

Crazy, but what I enjoyed looking at the most was the "NEW" Gaskets  That should tell you about how I feel about "Details"!
Hopefully waht ever you have to do to make it safe on top end will not require you to Change the Swingarm! Maybe adding a few Uprights , but not the design!
