AirTECH was approached to do a drag bike project with Kawasaki Motorsports and pro drag racer Steve Rice. Of course, we could not refuse! As the result, we've manufactured one of the most stunning ZX-11 Funny Bikes in the world. We began with an 84 inch wheelbase funny bike chassis, which we used to cut and section the body assembly. The massive 11-inch rear tire fits like a glove. To give the bike additional downforce on the rear wheel, the turn signal area on the back of the tail was extended and widened to create a wing effect on the hind end. The body of the bike itself incorporates full skirting to help control the air around the sides and underneath the body assembly. Up front, the fairing has been narrowed to create less drag while still retaining sufficient width to clear the Z style engine. Behind the front tire, the bodywork is completely sealed except for two small slits for the forks; this arrangement keeps air from sneaking in behind the fairing assembly. The stock fender had been modified to work on either a Kosman fork or Trac Dynamics upside down fork assembly. It's also been narrowed and lengthened for drag bike fork spacing. As you can tell, this is one of the hottest drag bike bodies ever made!! |
