Fits: KAWASAKI ZZR1200, KAWASAKI zrx1200 -09 (kawasaki oem product no:41068-1327 with shaft), KAWASAKI ZRX1100, KAWASAKI ZZR1100/ZX-11
Much better than expected.
I had been interested in this product for a long time, but I had mixed feelings of hope and doubt about its effectiveness, and because it was not inexpensive, I could not take the plunge and had long been putting it off. This time, although there was no particular trigger, I decided to take the plunge and purchase it, and I compared and examined three kinds of JBPower, Radical, and KFACTORY, but I decided not to buy Radical because the One Side pops out, and to buy JBPower and KFACTORY with Axle Nut. After much hesitation between Radical and KFACTORY, I decided to buy KFACTORY's Shaft because I thought that the lower price is better because I can use OEM Nut.
If we had only replaced the shaft, we would have only had to replace the shaft as long as the front was raised. However, since there were other parts to be replaced this time, we had to remove the caliper, fender, and wheels.
After the replacement, I test drove the car for about 100 km and it exceeded my expectations. First of all, I feel that the resistance of the shaft has been reduced, and I have a different feeling of moving forward when accelerating. Also, the front of the car feels stiffer and I can feel more information about the unevenness of the road surface in my hand compared to before the replacement. When cornering, I was surprised to find that the front end of the vehicle turned sharply in the direction I had imaged when I leaned the vehicle over, and I also felt a greater sense of stability while cornering. I did not measure the weight, but when I held the OEM and this product in my hand and compared them, it is clear that the ChromolyShaft is lighter, so I think that the weight reduction under the spring and the hardness of the shaft have brought more effects than I had imagined.
The parts that can be seen from the Fork Outer are Polished, and I am in love with it. I was initially thinking that OEM Axle Nut would be fine, but I am now wondering if I should do something about the Nut as well. I am thinking about this area.
I finally purchased this product after a long hesitation, and I can say that it is one of the best products that I have ever purchased, and it makes me enjoy riding my motorcycle. I am looking forward to touring in the mountains.
This time, I replaced the Front, but I would like to replace the Rear Shaft in the near future. I am looking forward to seeing how much it will change.
