Miscellaneous Sponsored Mods

Vanleeuwen.com was nice enough to send us some green Pro Grip wheel tape and a carbon look tank pad. CRG also hooked us up with a pair of regular gold levers.

Wilbers USA was also kind enough to send us a HyperPro Steering damper.

And to finish off the look, I added an OEM Kawasaki Cowl.

Goodridge Brakelines

The good folks at Goodridge sent us over a pair of braided brakelines in black for our project Zx10r. Their big claim to fame is the fact that they make lines for jets. I guess if they can stop jets, there should be no problem stopping a bike! Special thanks to John Burkel for the installation assist!

Undertail & Devil Exhaust

DevilBikes.com was nice enough to provide us with a titanium highmount exhaust for our project.

HotbodiesRacing.com sent us a color matched undertail that integrated the rear signals to give us this flush look. Thanks guys!

Special thanks to Galfer USA for hooking us up with front and rear wave rotors.

Testing out the Zx10r

Alex — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:47:02 +0000

It was a nice day, so I thought I’d take the Zx10r out for a spin. I have since put on euro front turn signals for a flush look, as well as some decals from various sponsors.

Notes: Much better with damper + stock tires suck + rear brake locks easily = Dangerous bike!

First Modifications

The Zx10r is the wildest bike I have ever ridden! There is so much unbridled power on tap, that it actually scares me! How Kawasaki let this beast off the assembly line without a steering damper is beyond me! So the first mod for this bike is an Ohlins/Scotts steering damper to tame this wild beast.

In addition, I also added a clear double bubble windscreen from Hotbodies Racing.

New Beginnings

This Magma Red 2005 Kawasaki Zx10r will start it all. We will build this bike for the first issue of Inline Performance Magazine. Here it is in stock form.

Stay tuned for more updates!
