Looking forward to this build!
Me too!
Pulled the studs tonight and confirmed what I’d suspected ever since I found out that YZ pistons are taller than Tri-Z pistons.
No, it’s not that blonds are more fun than redheads, it’s that the YZ cylinder is a little taller. So for anyone pondering the Tri Z Wrench Report head modification AND a YZ piston l, make sure you check you squish band as you’re decreasing it twice as much with both mods.

Blinds are way more fun than redheads IMO.....
I really need to stop using this talk to type feature
Aftermarket Exhaust Spring Tabs. 12ga. steel. Contoured to the shape of the cylinder and guaranteed to out last your trike. Available in yellow or silver.
After they are installed you can bend them to suit any clearance issues or to adjust the tension on your springs.
I guess you could say that I’m selling them, but I have no idea how I would get them to anybody at this point. They would be cheap though, no more than $8.00 per pair plus shipping. If interested let me know and we’ll figure something out.

Welcome to the PV-Z club. I sure could use a couple of those spring tabs.
85 Tri-z Power valve on Inverts
85 Tri-z Basket Case
01 gsxr750 engine/Tri-z frame (long long way from complete)
Looks good man and the spring tabs are really nice. Having despised Yamaha for most of my life, I feel that I've missed out on owning one of these bikes in running condition.

The one you did have for a short while had a lot of rare parts. Whatever happened to that trike?

My three wheel obsession has been reactivated by a future ride, so last night the cases on the soon to be PV engine were opened up.
Got a chance to use my dowel puller, sure beats Vise Grips.
I soon came to realize that there was a hack inside this thing.
Sesame Street song playing.... One of the things does not belong.
Glad it didn’t ruin the cover, these things are selling for stupid money.
Then I tried to get the sprocket nut off only to find out someone had put a tiny spot of weld on it to the lock washer. It was almost impossible to see, but the burn hole on the washer was the give away.
The cherry on the cupcake was finding that they’d welded the shift drum follower wheel solid.
Seems the bearing on the shift drum (which can’t be replaced) is seized, so off to eBay I went. I hope the shift forks aren’t bent as the guide is bent and the shift shaft was hard to get out.
Here’s where we’re at now.
Wow, that escalated quickly

Hopefully you’ve found all the hacks an everything else goes smooth for you. Where you able to find a replacement shift drum?
