After a few (regretful) years without an SRX6, I’m back! I picked up this one last week. It’s an 88 model, which has a 17″ front wheel, single 320mm disc, 4 pot caliper, but still has rear twin shocks and is kick start only.
This one’s had some serious work done to it too – wiseco 11:1 high compression piston, race cam, keihin FCR33 flat slide carbs, oval stainless exhaust and WP rear shocks.
Its currently unregistered and off the road (as am I, in a sense…), so I haven’t been able to test ride it yet, but I can’t wait. With all the work it is going to be an absolute rocket!
More pics and details to come soon.

Hey Phil, Mojo here. Man, your SRX looks very similar to mine. Mine needs more power (Cam’s gonna lend me some Keihins) but I love it. It has Over (I think) pipes, Ohlins fully adjustable shocks, new progressive fork springs (with a stack of 20 cent pieces above them for extra preload…), Dunlop TT900 tyres (not pictured), old-skool Brit-style rear light, funky single seat and FZR250 clip ons (too-small and hammered on…) Check out –

Hey Mojo,
Very nice – once I’m back on the road will have to catch up and check it out (still recovering from being hit by a fuckwit doing a u-turn). I’m very interested to see what the engine will be like. I go premium with my fork preload spacers – 50 cent pieces.
What do you think of the Dunlop TT900 tyres? what sizes have you got on? I was thinking Dunlop GPR10 alpha’s, but not sure on sizes. a 110/80 on the front would fit nicely, but it seems they only have a 140/60 for the rear, which i think might be a bit wide and flat…
