Here's how it all started...

Bought a very nice zrx from the original owner in May of 06'. Only mods to it were a Micron bolt-on muffler and a Dale Walker jet kit.

I replaced the tires and had a co-worker who does upholstry work as a side job recover a used Corbin seat I bought off Ebay. Road the bike in this form form till late fall of 06'.

By this time I had met up with some local ZRXOA members. Looking at there bikes really got my desire to mod mine going!

What emerged from my garage in the spring of 07' was this.

The motor that started life at 1052cc's was now 1166cc's, courtesy of a SuperBike Mike billet block and a lightened/balanced crankshaft by A.P.E. The rear suspension had been massaged by Aftershocks and the front receive Race Tech springs/Gold Valves. A full Arata titanium exhaust replaced the heavy stocker. The SBM block was purchased used and was a bit tired. I ran it as such for roughly 2K miles before taking it out to a full 1195cc's. I also added Carrozeria wheels with Galfer wave rotors.

A new years resolution I'm determined to follow thru with!
