I'm done rebuilding my zrex...for now at least

[richie7]

I finished my rebuild today, and took it on a test ride. I still need to adjust carb and steering a bit, but I'm mostly done for now. Thank you Ted, ROBIN, KWICK for hooking me up with awesome parts. ROBIN, the rear shocks work fantastic

Here's the list of what I've done to it:

replaced wheel bearings & seals
replaced head stem bearings & races
replaced handlebars & dumpers
replaced tires (Pirelli Rosso Diablos)
rebuild front & rear brake master cylinders
rebuild front & rear calipers with new seals
rebuild clutch master & slave
replaced brake & clutch lines with braided steel lines
rebuild brake & clutch levers
replaced front & rear sprockets
new o-ring chain
rebuild and re-jetted carb with factory pro kit
synchronized carb
k&n pods
rebuild petcock
emgo glass fuel filter
k&n crankcase breather
muzzy block off plates
4 degree ignition advancer
KWICK'S LED flash relay
LED turn signals
hella 7" round headlight
aftermarket speedo and tach with indicators and water temp gauge
painted header and replaced gaskets
touch-up paint on frame
painted plastics(metal black)
stripped and ceramic coated fuel tank
replaced all fluids



My next plan for it is to have someone pull the dents off the tank and modify the tail section a bit. Until I graduate from school and make money for the plan, I'm gonna enjoy the ride

forget the cosmetics...when you can afford, do the suspension (shocks/forks.) It can save your life some day in an iffy situation...

Oh, I forgot to put fork rebuild and new rear shocks with 5000 miles-ish on my list. But, yeah, I might upgrade the suspension system later...maybe ohlins?
