Hi everyone well I had to join, need info, building my last creation it's an idea I have dreamed about seeing as I own a GPZ1000RX kinda like the motor so I laid my grubbies on a 97 frame and wondered if anyone on here had transplanted one of these units in? Any help greatly appreciated. Yes I know there will be those out there who say just buy a complete bike and tune it, the thousand motor already does 125bhp no shims good strong engine, it's the fun of building something that's us English we're a nation of fixers!! So the Rex frame is down at the powder coaters Triple S a 5 minuet trip away be a bugger if iv'e got to move mounts!!

I've heard of ZRX engines being swapped into an older bike (like Z900) etc., but not an older GPz engine into the REX.
Don't know how similar the mounting locations would be between 86 and 97 engines/frames.

That's a new one!
I've seen a ZZR engine in a Rex but that's easy. Never seen an RX in a Rex.
Good luck and get it posted in the projects section so we can keep an eye on it.
