I'm still in disbelief! I just don't understand it.........yeah sure get a Zed as well...........but.......but........but......get rid of the Rex?????? I'm really confused??? The ZRX is the greatest piece of shit ever built, but god damn if they aren't fast and fun! It will never give you "That" stirring of the loins which the Rex does. But, enjoy your new Zed any way and I'll give you a burl on mine when the withdrawals really set in.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

Yeh but look on the bright side Marty, there is ANOTHER very happy ZRX owner. Althought I have to admit, I will be requesting mine is dismantled and put on the box with me I aint ever selling it.

Firstly the ZRX never dragged anything, & I can tell you, Ive had some very serious runs up the old road with Busa's & Blades, so if your dragging your feet adjust your riding style. Even when I am racing I dont drag my feet.
That aside, the headlights are just piss weak IMO. Remember I had a Phillips "white light" globe in the rex & the light was pretty good. The brakes are tokico's..So it might be the ABS making them feel a bit woody ??
Thanks for the heads up on the extra heat from the higher wattage globes, didnt think of that. Might have to go with a set of "white light globes if things get to hot.

I sort of agree, the Z is really nice, but the Rex had soul by the truck load!!!!!

I put one of the 100w globes in today.. Holy crap! I put it in the highbeam side. Yeah they do put out more heat. But a shitload more powerfull light! So I wont put one in the lowbeam side as its on all the time & dont want dramas with melting things. I might get one of these for the lowbeam>> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PHILIPS-H7-5 ... 4600cf6322
I'll go for a run tonight & see how it goes. The 100w plus the Phillips 50% in the low beam might do the trick..
Well that was a pointless exesise. The 100w globe made little to no improvment. So I put the 55w back in & tried it with & without the Mrs on the back, da dar! the adjustment was out to buggery.. Spent half an hour on a long dark bit of straight road &
Got them really close to being correct, but the biggest problem is when the Mrs is on with me they are out.. So I set them for the best with or without her on it & its heaps better. While still not 21 century lighting..

Have you adjusted your suspension from standard yet? as standard (me being 91kg) the rear sag on my zed was a little over 45mm! could make a difference...
Yeah its all good now, I still think the lights are sub standard, they'll do for the amout of night riding I do.. but I do like the nice tight chassis, & the suspension that work pretty good. I fitted the fender eliminator today, made the arse look nice & tidy. I will be starting on the custom colouring soon. So as soon as it stops raining I wanna go for a ride!!!!!
