ZRX gets raked and rebuilt
After almost 4 months she's back together. I let her run lean last Nov on a ride and burnt 3 pistons down to the rings. Since it was apart I talked myself into raking the frame 6*. Dave at D&G Chassie in Clearwater did the frame work. Now I can drop it to the ground! Frame then got powder coated. Installed a set of clip-on bars so I had to relocate the guages and fairing. Still not happy the way the fairing sits. Going to redo the bracket again to tilt it down some more. I sent my head up to Jim at Comp CNC for his Stage II porting. I had 13.5:1 pistons in the bike but opped to go back together with 12.5's this time. Head is milled so my true CR is 13:1.

Trying. With our local 1/8 mile track shut down now, I'm not going to get near the seat time I wanted to. If I can get a mid 1.30 60', this thing will go 8's. My main reason for the frame work. The head work was just another step forward on a maxed out build. LOL Only main increase I have left is to go with a big set of WEB cams. They have 2 grinds that are bigger than my Yosh cams. I don't know of an all motor, no bar ZRX that has gone 8's.? HP should be just a tad better than a piped gen 1 ZX14 now. 185 to 190 range.

Thanks! It better for all the money I have into it. LOL Took it for another little run tonight to dial in the carbs. It f'n rips! I don't need a dyno to tell its making more power than before. And I fixed the fairing. It looks much better now.

That bike looks great, one of my favorite ZRXs of all time! Can't wait until you get some track time, I am sure you will see those 8 second time slips!

If I can't get it to do 8's I'll just throw smokin on it. He should be able to get some 8.80's out of it.

Very trick.... 
When does it see the track? And what is that car in the background?

63 SS Impala. 350, 4speed, 3:36 posi. Its a driver, not a looker. May be a month before I can get to a track with Sunshine Speedway currently shut down. I guess the new owner is going to reopen, but the old owner tore up EVERYTHING on his way out! Bulldozed over everything!! Bradenton doesn't have much for TNT until April. I will be going to the Orlando Bike Bash on March 25th. Hope I can get a few shake down runs before then. I also want to make it up to the Manufactures Cup.
