Practical & Appearance Quality: Z900RS Custom
JB-POWER's Z900RS
At first glance, there is no doubt that the specifications are more sporty, with a titanium exhaust, JB4 Forged Magnesium Wheels, and axle shafts all made of hollow chromoly. But that's not all. A rear rack and thick Z1000R-style seat are also adopted. The yellow balls, inspired by the air-cooled Z series, are also a fun element to look at. The machined aluminum parts used in various parts are also a part of this customization. 'To build a Z900RS that looks good, handles well, and is fun to ride, while at the same time being convenient for long tours.' This is the concept behind the JB-POWER.
Intake & Exhaust
The titanium full exhaust is a megaphone type that follows the stock image, and the angle was set while taking the bank angle into consideration so as not to deviate too much from the stock image.
Chassis
The wheels are JB-POWER mag-forged JB4, 18 inches instead of 17 inches and 3.00 width instead of 3.50 width. Rear wheels are also 4.50 wide, for the natural and sporty handling that JB-POWER is known for.
When a 17-inch Z900RS is converted to 18-inch, the ride height inevitably rises. A new link plate was fabricated to lower the ride height to the same height as the 17-inch Z900RS.
The rear brake calipers are AP Racing CP2696, which amplifies the image of the air-cooled Z series. The rear brake caliper is an AP Racing CP2696, which amplifies the image of the air-cooled Z series. The rear end of the swingarm has been replaced with the JB-POWER's quick system.
Handle
The upper and under brackets are original to the JB-POWER. The offset can be adjusted to change the handling characteristics according to the owner's preference, and is selectable between 35mm and 40mm.
Bodyworks
There is no space under the seat of the Z900RS to store small items, making it a bit difficult to load the bike. Therefore, the JB-POWER manufactured a rear rack with touring loadability in mind. This was done not only to enhance the sporty performance of the Z900RS, but also to make it possible to use the high utility of the Z900RS anywhere and in any form.
The seat, molded into a raised shape on the tandem side, was machined by the company; in 2017, the surface skin was more similar to the air-cooled Z series, but now it has a dimpled shape.
