I'm trying to figure out if that's a lot of loot for that.
Not sure either. I think these are US made though. It looks like it's a bolt on replacement for the oem. A nice stock one isn't cheap either.
Well, it's freaking gorgeous. We know that much. LOL
and they do side covers and front fairing...
Update. Finally got the Racetech stuff done on the front forks. Gold valves, straight-rate springs....Very different, I can feel the road under the bike better now. I'm still doing some tuning there. Also, the original clutch was pretty much gone so I replaced all the plates and did new springs this past weekend. Got it all done Saturday so I could make it to bike church on Sunday.

Maybe he won't notice if I take his ZRX and give him mine.
I am and I will. Mine has my blood on it.

I'll hafta do a front end kit from Racetech on my zrx1200 soon! She be leakin'!
Thanks Drewski. I'm still getting used to the fork upgrade. For my size, etc I went with +1 straight rate springs and the gold valve emulators. I can truly feel a difference under the front. I'm still playing with the preload and damping adjustments to get it where I want it but yeah...go for it.
GoCrazy...thanks man.
Just a little update. Got a bunch of stuff done this weekend. Cleaned all the filters, installed new brake pads all around and full hydraulic clutch system flush. I replaced the line with the new HEL cable (to match the brake lines ). The cosmetic cover over the clutch actuator doesn't quite fit now. I may hog out the spare I have but the look doesn't bother me. I also made some tweaks to the front forks again. Increased the compression and rebound damping I took it out for a ride this evening and this bike hasn't felt this right in awhile. Little things matter..

Righteous.
Finish that 750 and get to modding that ZRX Justin!
Tiny update: I'm working from home today but decided I needed to ride the ZRX into town to get a double green chile cheeseburger at Griff's on Central, 20ish min away. I did some fast fun freeway blasts and some in-town stoplight to stoplight crap. I think I have the forks dialed in pretty well now. The Racetech goodies are doing their job and I'm damn happy with them. So, new back tire next.
