On-going TRX Project
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:15 am
Details of this project have appeared on the pbmagforum, but seeing as I was invited to this site sometime in late January, I have decided that it was about time to sign up and post some pictures of the work so far.
She started life as a blue 1999 TRX, but since then has received V2 camshafts, a modified airbox, carb tuning, homemade megaphones, a port and polish on the heads, an FZR1000 oil cooler was installed, FZR1000 6-piston front calipers, YZF750 rear swingarm, braided steel lines on the front, a fibreglass and case cover, homemade oggy knobs, a multitude of machined spacers etc, billet footrests, rear wheel centre painted gold with polished rims (new front wheel to receive the same treatment), flush mount front indicators, aluminium numberplate hanger/rear indicator brackets, carbon fibre rear hugger modified to suit yzf swingarm, billet clutch cover and a radiator guard made from stainless mesh.
Since these photos an FZR1000 upside down front suspension unit has been garnered to replace the standard set-up, and it in turn has been modified to run eibach 0.9kg springs, as well as modifications to the damping and valves. Aluminium risers to take the intended drag bars have also been manufactured and fitted. Modifications have started on the front mudguard too, it's been vented and extended with a piece of manx norton rear guard. The vents are yet to have mesh put behind them though.
