So do "that kind of twin-shock retro type thing" on a ZRX stuffed full of ZZR/ZX parts. Mine will pick the front end up in 3rd gear roll-ons and/or break the rear wheel loose. And with 50% more power than stock the handling will remind you what it was like to hustle along on a Z1 back in the day... which leads to conversations that start with things like "I thought you were crashing when you passed me in that corner"Potter wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 5:47 am I really like that kind of twin-shock retro type thing, but not enough to splash a load of cash on them because they're probably a bit underwhelming and you'd need to spend money on them. If they were cheap, or absolutely amazing limited edition HRC Honda quality and finish then that would make it a lot easier to make the decision - but they're neither.

Doremi was apparently the company that made the original pipes for Kawasaki back in the day.
