Well it is far from done or really started.All I did was put some parts on the bike to make it a roller and look complete.I want to try and make it look like a flattracker.I have the Blue Duro tires for the rear.Plus I am lowering the arse end some.What you see is really the finsihed colors,pipe,rims,etc.Just need to tear it all down and repaint powdercoat and such.I am not going to assembly the bike until I move into the new house.The barn here is just too moist.Everything is starting to get crusty and I hate it.

Also,just got back the old Tri-Z.I am not keeping the bike.He locked the motor up real good.I am just going to rebuild the topend for him.He sure did put some time on the bike.Nothing like when I sold it to him.But hey,he bought it to ride,not look at.Cant wait to see what the piston looks like.Ill try and get pics up tonight after I pull it apart.But its good to see 2 Z's in the barn together.Someday when I finish both of the Z projects.Ill have 2 of my own again.. How sweet!!

On a side note.The Tri-Z with the headlight assembly is running a full Dg exhaust.And the other Z has a Phase Five with a DG silencer.Both are very fast!! HEHE

I have 2 myself.One is here with me,the other I gave to my brother which lent it to his friend for their daugther.My girls are too young.So at least one is getting used.I have the Yamaha cargo rack on there.Got any pics of yours?

Well I got the motor pulled.It wasnt the top end that seized.It looks like it was run low on oil and cooked the rod bearings.I can even move the piston rod!!! Yikes.Glad it isnt my bike anymore.. :lol: Still I hope nothing else went bad inside... Any Help??
