DragZter update w/ pics

[CHAINSAW]

I got it rolling yesterday and snapped off a few pics. The only thing Im waiting on is the cylinder to get back from the polisher. There are still a few loose ends I gotta tie up, like the foot pegs, build a wheelie bar, and have plans on airbrushing the black plastic I had on it, but also want to find a frame so I can match it to the plastic. (I dont wanna ruin this frame, its in great shape) Ive also gotta figure out what Im gonna do for a pipe. Either use the drag one I have now (built for a 370R, so I dont think it will be tuned that well to this one) or take it to a guy I know and build and test dozens until we get one on the dyno that has the power I want. For now I think Ill just slap on the PSI hybrid I have, because it leaks the least out of the ones I have.. lol

Also I snapped a pic of the under the airbox gas tank on this one. This was hand made, but only holds barley a gallon.
Look over the pics close.. lots of little details the normal non Z riding person wont catch at first

WoW now that is one nice looking Z. The chrome is a nice addition, makes it look like it came off a show room.

And here is what is in store for next year. This is how I found it at the junk yard. Plans for it are to rebuild the motor, and soup it up a little bit here and there. No polishing on this one though, only 4 or 5 cans of BBQ flat black are the plans..

Oh, and not to mention it will have 3 tires instead of 2.

One of the nicest Zs I have ever seen, great work and some very nice gimmicks on that bike !!!

That is an awesome and beautiful Z chainsaw. Just awesome.

Do you think it would have been possible to use some of that space by the tongue of the seat for the fuel tank? Once you take out the stock airbox...there is some room there.

Anyways I just the most gorgeous Z on here man...just awesome!!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

About more room for the tank. If a guy took his time, and really took advantage of every nook and cranny, an under the airbox aluminum tank might hold enough gas for a half way normal riding bike. It still wouldnt hold much more then a gallon and a half though. If a guy got crazy and were to mold a lot around the frame itself there is more space there.

the tank that Louis has on his 86 would be the way to go. Just mold the top of it, to look like the airbox cover. You could gain a lot of room by doing it that way.
Mine only runs 300 feet at a time, so a huge gas tank isnt my concern.. its weight.

Thanks Chainsaw for the info.

very cool...but please dust off that black 85!!

Its dusty cause I spent all day Saturday re-arranging the storage shed. I gotta get some covers for them also, cause that black is hard enough to keep clean looking.
