You would have to know my tuner!
Several have put busa arms on. Just a matter of making spacers. A ZX6 or 9 arm is closer to a direct bolt on if you also use the ZX rear wheel and brakes. I'm starting to work on getting my big motor back together. Shooting for a 190hp build this time. Trying to be the first all motor ZRX in the 8's. If I can't do it myself, I'll just throw Lee on it. He's always good for another tenth.

Thats pretty sick!! Did you just build a mount for the top of the shock?

I think I'm starting to remember who that is. LOL Dean was pushing 20 + on his 1100 ZRX but learned the hard way several times until he found a combo that worked. Yes there is a top mount under the seat.. Mounts are still in place though to go back to dual shocks.

I know this isn't a ZRX board but since so many of the 14 guys have or had ZRX's, I think it's kinda cool to see them.
It's been proven that Teddy don't need no stinkin 14 to go fast!! I've been around bikes all my life and Teddy's is in my top five all-time favorite sccoters out there.
Can't wait til Lee gets that one going.

Me too Bently, although I had both years of the Eddie Lawson Replica. Lee snagged his for a great price......... All the one's in this thread look great!

This was the last rendition of my 03 blue. Loved it.

Many miles and happy smiles on this bike for me! Longest ride I did on it was a three week, 6600 mile ride out to the Cali coast and up to Oregon and back. Epic ride.

My Dragrex was a blast. Learned a lot on this bike. Best pass in good air was 9.26 and 60' times in the high 1.30's.
I've currently got a red '02 (my 4th ZRX) getting a new rear wheel fitted up. I've got a pile of parts waiting to go on it and get it's winter mods done. Will get a pic of it when that happens. By far the best all around bike I have ever had. I don't see anything on the market today that makes me smile like this bike does.

Got mine out today to circulate a little oil and snapped some pictures since I just had the swingarm and somemore things powdercoated glossy black to match the frame.
I just got a new set of black14R wheels and thinking about doing a conversion. Hmm.......

Yup the turbo is coming along , the tricky part will be making it look as good as your old Drag X ... I got this bike real cheap and it needs a little love in the looks area .. I think ill paint it to match my ZX14R ..The blue color on my zx14R is very very close .. I just love blue .. I'm thinking of using the ZX14R wheels on the ZRX since i have a set lying around .. It's just a toy so i don't mine doing a little modding and updating ..May even do the zx14 front end swap .. Hey do you remember where we got the shorter rear shocks from ? .. I can't remember , it was so long ago ..

The shocks in that pic of my dragrex were atv buggy shocks off ebay. I had upgraded to custom Wilbers later that made a big diference.
Don't cheap out on the rear shocks...it'll pay off big time getting that thing under control and putting power to the ground.
I had my shifter ram top mounted to the left rear peg hanger bolt hole, and welded an extension off the back of the shift lever for the other end of the ram to mount to. It was in a push configuration.

On a side note...I'm getting CoolBlue back (my old blue 03 with white wheels). I'm stoked! It's like getting an old family member back.

The Dragrex is one great looking bike QP. Those wheels look like the CZ's I had on my ZX12R.
C'mon Lee, fire that thing off and go for a ride!!!
