My "Dream Z" 2011 Race Bike

[zmpolaristech]

2.5 years in the making... started off as a big bore trail bike, ended up being my CRA, Open A, Race bike. I don't have alot of "in progress" pics, and I am sure most people on here know what it takes to build something like this anyway. A special thanx to ; Sprock Racing, Hall Performance, Pendry Powdercoating, HRR YAMAHONDAMAN, McNett Performance, JEMCO Exhaust, and especially my loving wife, Amanda. So, here it is.:pics::pics::pics:

what I started with... a total basket case:

the doner KTM 85sx forks:

When it was all said and done, this is what I ended up with:

[dream3wheeler]

[Bryan Raffa]

Yummmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bcredneck]

i dont like yamahas but your trike just changed that its the first yamie id trade my 350x for and i love my honda thumper

[Xfile]

Holly ****, that is one hot Z!!!!!!!!

[swampthang]

Wow that things unreal!!! great job looks like you totally brought that thing into the 21st century. Got some questions how big is the fuel tank,did you paint the plastic? looks great man!

[Eric250R]

Definately looks better on all 3s.....LOL. Nice job man, looks great......

[atc200e]

That`s the cleanest trike Ive ever seen!!!!! Great Job man!!!

[honda200x1987]

Freakin Sweet!! LQQKS Fast , I give it a 10.

[Macs]

I am speechless!!!!!!

[MonroeMike]

Beautiful machine.

[hang&rattle]

That's the nicest Tri-Z I have ever seen. Amazing. That's the nicest race trike I have ever seen.

[MTS]

WOW!!!!..that thing came out nice!!! How ya liking the big bore :naughty:
Might have to break the piggy bank for one of those pipes for mine!!

[zmpolaristech]

Wow that things unreal!!! great job looks like you totally brought that thing into the 21st century. Got some questions how big is the fuel tank,did you paint the plastic? looks great man!

Thanx for the compliments fellas. The fuel tank is good for racing only, as it only holds 3/4 of a gallon, but that's MORE than enough for 1 moto. The orange Plastics are limited run MAIER for Sprock racing. I think there are only 4 or 5 sets of orange in the country.

[tecat-z]

WOW, That thing is hot!! Reminds me of a General Lee theme. Coincidence? Gotta love the Jemcos, they look so business. Is that one of those Sprock arms? GREAT JOB!!!

[zmpolaristech]

WOW, That thing is hot!! Reminds me of a General Lee theme. Coincidence? Gotta love the Jemcos, they look so business. Is that one of those Sprock arms? GREAT JOB!!!

Thanx man. Definately coincidence, wasn't going for the Lee theme. And yep. that's a +2 sprock swinger with ALL banshee components.

[phantombiker]

sweet ride, bro!!! is that the old exhaust im spying in the background?? wanna part with it??

[Eric250R]

I'm digging the ambush front. Where did you find a 10 inch rim for a Z ?

[puggerton03]

Beautiful trike. That pipe is a work of art. I bet it sounds awesome. What kind of silencer is on there? I cant read the writing. Bassani maybe?

[NINJA]

That trike is insanely gorgeous! I want to make babies with it.

[ATCeeya]

dayuuum thats a sick wheeler

[ceaserthethird]

Good Job, It takes time to be very detailed about everything.

Good Thing your riding it!

[Rotten]

Wow....I give you mad props....That thing is SERIOUS.....

Love the orange too!

[MrPretty]

WOW! I love how the color scheme man, you did an amazing job

[Xfile]

WOW, That thing is hot!! Reminds me of a General Lee theme. Coincidence? Gotta love the Jemcos, they look so business. Is that one of those Sprock arms? GREAT JOB!!!
Thats what I was thinking (the general lee ) "shoot Luke, the bridge is out...were gonna have to jump it" yeeeeeehawwww! hell yeah.

[oldtime3wheeler]

Thats a beautiful trike you built!

[Mosh]

I saw this trike last weekend in person. Someone came up to me and said someone built a nicer 330 Z than mine.
That is a accurate assesment..But which one is quicker?:naughty:
Maybe we will get to line them up one day.:D

It is definately nice, and the fuel tank is a nice piece.

Great job, and that brings the Sprock 330Z running tally to a total of 4 on this forum of recent.

[zzmegad]

yeah man insane z, can i ask what kind of forks those are, and wheel, I really wanna put inverts on my z.

[Louis Mielke]

Looks beautiful Jon. Very awesome! I love the graphics, really pulls it together!

[JayBone]

That is awesome. Good color combo.

[zmpolaristech]

Well thanx to everyone for the kind words. I put ALOT of hard work into this thing, and thanx for noticing. I'll try to answer the questions to this point:

phantombiker- no, the pipe in the background is not for sale...not even mine.
Eric250R- fornt wheel is stock 12" with a 23x8-12 CST Ambush.
puggerton03- Silencer is a Coffmans
Mosh- thanx man, means alot. We WILL line em up one of these days!
zzmegad- front forks are KTM 85sx mounted w/ Jason Hall triples. Stock front wheel.

[atc350xer]

The Honda Hater did a fine job there! Verrrry nice!

[Kintore]

I LOVE how everyone is stepping it up this year. New sanctioned classes, new wheelers, new gear. This is wicked guys!

see ya soon mccain!

[oldskool83]

i like that

[oscarmayer]

THAT is awesome! even the old skewlers re gonna be gelious on this bike build!!!

[Tri-Z 250]

Very nice indeed...SPOCK-O-lishous, Hows she run...?

My trike's going to look like a rat bike on the line this year.:lol:

[ironchop]

I want to marry it and have five kids

[rdlsz24]

Nice work that thing is sick. The color combo reminds me of a G.I. Joe Alley Viper I had when I was younger

Was thinking the same, seems like everything is blowing up huge..... man, can't wait to see what the next few years bring

[inv3ctiv3]

Wow, love it.

[tri-Z ripper]

UMMMMMM GUUULLLPPPPP that thing is DELICOUS! Great job on the whole build! i have to say, im trying to put together a trike calender and that is a top pick if you like!

[thestud25]

But which one is quicker?:naughty:
Maybe we will get to line them up one day.:D

Hmm Sounds like a Trikefest 2011 match up to me!!!

[zmpolaristech]

UMMMMMM GUUULLLPPPPP that thing is DELICOUS! Great job on the whole build! i have to say, im trying to put together a trike calender and that is a top pick if you like!

Thanx, and yes, I would be honored to be part of the calender. I am having professional pics taken of my Z later this week, so when you are ready, let me know and I'll send ya some nicer pics in our new shop.

[zmpolaristech]

And for the record...THIS THING RIPS!!! Stump pulling torque....THEN it hits the pipe! Definately the most powerfull 3 wheeler I have ever been on. It pulls harder than my 250 does, without even being in the pipe! I can't wait to get her "dialed" this spring.

[ceaserthethird]

Could you Tell us more on the REAR shock Set up, Brand & Cost would be great.

[wisconsinite]

oh, great, another machine that makes mine look like crap!! :) lol seriously though, VERY nice trike!

[dmotoxrider]

Man your tri-z looks awesome. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. Where did you get the blue radiator hoses?

[droopie31]

Great job, and that brings the Sprock 330Z running tally to a total of 4 on this forum of recent.

I dunno if mine is on the list:lol:

Almost forgot.....EPIC trike, very well done! Love to hear about that pipe, been debating one as well!

Drew

[zmpolaristech]

Could you Tell us more on the REAR shock Set up, Brand & Cost would be great.

The rear shock is a fully adjustable PEP ZPS, custom built for my bike and swinger set-up. It turns out that Wayne (the owner of PEP) youst to race Tri-Zs back in the day, so he already has experience with the shock set-ups (unlike EVERY other place i called). Cost?... TOO MUCH!!

[zmpolaristech]

Man your tri-z looks awesome. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. Where did you get the blue radiator hoses?

The blue rad hoses are NLA...I got this set from YAMAHONDAMAN, he just happened to have bought a set when they were available, and was kind enough to pass them on to me.

[zmpolaristech]

Hmm Sounds like a Trikefest 2011 match up to me!!!

I'M DOWN!!!! I can picture it now... the last 2 bikes left in mod class... 2 beautifull TRI-Zs!!! LOL! I can only hope...

[Mondexbrute]

your the man...absolutly amazingly beautifly done!!!!

[Kintore]

yo mccain, you got my black alpinestars hat in your truck?

[cumminstroker]

First off nice Z! I am wondering how much is that big bore kit and cool head from Sprock racing, I tried to look up his website but there dosent appear to be any online info that I can find. I probably have way more into my pv setup that what this big bore costs and now am regretting it lol.

[Black86tri-z]

Don't quote me on this, but I am pretty sure he gets $500 for the big bore kit WITH the billet head and dome. And I GUARANTEE it makes more power than a PV 250. You have to call Corey or Eric at Fullbore powersports, to order parts. 573-581-1382

[200x350xtriz250]

WOW!!! Nice bike for sure. I'm usually not a big fan of orange but I do love custom colors and yours is perfect, just perfect!

[Jason125m]

man! that thing is meow AWESOME!, exactly my dream trike..

[zmpolaristech]

[RideRed250R]

SICK BIKE by the way.. a tri-z is next in the arsenal..

[clutchcargo]

I don't know how I missed this thread, but Well Done!

Great color combo too. Very cool.

[ama009]

What a Beast!!!!

[zmpolaristech]

maybe I am mixing u up with another member but didnt I sell you a PVL?

Definately not me... no pvl on either of my bikes, all stock ignitions.

but Thanx.

[200XMichigan]

Man that thing looks incredible. Gives me some inspiration to battle the cold and give the Z I just picked up some attention. Those inverts look amazing. Can't even imagine how awesome it rides.

"If you're going to do something, be the best." Genichi Kawakami (the guy who founded Yamaha). Looks like you did it man, that Z is sweet.

[jmax857]

i am in absolute love with your z. i hope someday i can have a trike that beautiful

[RideRed250R]

ooo my bad!!!

sick bike for sure!!

[lazybiker79]

I love your z

[tri-Z ripper]

Well i can say after seeing it in person that this thing is a beast! so smooth corners like its on a track!!! awesome build!!!

[Xavier Lange]

Thanx for the compliments fellas. The fuel tank is good for racing only, as it only holds 3/4 of a gallon, but that's MORE than enough for 1 moto. The orange Plastics are limited run MAIER for Sprock racing. I think there are only 4 or 5 sets of orange in the country.

[Swinger]

What did that jemco run price wise and how is the overall performance with that pipe??

[zmpolaristech]

What did that jemco run price wise and how is the overall performance with that pipe??

JEMCO pipe was $300 shipped. Great overall pipe...pulls good EVERYWHERE!

[Remingtonsteel]

Awesome just awesome. I'm gonna have my work cut out for me. What all did it take to run those forks?

[zmpolaristech]

Awesome just awesome. I'm gonna have my work cut out for me. What all did it take to run those forks?

It will require a set of custom triples, custom front axle and spacers, custom rotor and caliper set-up, and a set of 46-48 kg/mm springs for the forks (also custom wound). Jason Hall can hook you up with the triples, axle, spacers, and rotor adapter...after that it is up to you to work the bugs out.
