The chrome and powder I had done locally! The chrome a father and his son did it and are very reasonable! honestly they took there time and smoothed everything out really nice before it went too the tank,, prep work says it all!! The cylinder I had gking polish after Jason Hall did his magic:) ! The motor is a 86, swinger is a + 6 , the lower tripple I shaved all the areas from the mold then polished those myself along with a lot of smaller parts, the top tripple will be black like the way it came from the factory!!! it all the little detail that makes it more challenging LOL....

[ATC-Eric]

Exciting! Keep us posted.

[JasonB]

heck ya man that motor alone looks tasty! I like it, in for updates

Few more Goodies!!

[Bryan Raffa]

your chain rollers will work,,, but the top one you must remove the bearings and put the plastic stock sleeve in the roller..you may have to drill it out to make the sleeve fit.. thats how i did it..

[badass350x]

144734144735

[badass350x]

147535

[El Camexican]

So, so, so sweet! Keep the photos coming, especialy close-ups of all the hardware. Thanks!

[badass350x]

[badass350x]

Pipe bolted up,,,fit nice with the oring and channel machined onto the exhaust spout that jason hall did!148749

[badass350x]

the factory headlight cage will be replaced with a custom cage and two hella 500's 55watt lights, had the lighting coil built for high output!! It will kinda look old school baja with a new twist!

[El Camexican]

Wow! There's a lot of "pretty" on that thing.

[badass350x]

Wow! There's a lot of "pretty" on that thing.

Haha something about "pretty" reminds me of the orange Z you own!!!!!

[badass350x]

Plastics on, not much more to do other then repack the silencer and a few odds an ends!!






148780148781

[El Camexican]

Haha something about "pretty" reminds me of the orange Z you own!!!!!

Thanks, but yours appears to be at another level of detail. I polish a lot of stuff, but its not like I get every scratch out as you appear to have done. Maybe some day we can get them side by side and you'll see what I mean. I think (hope) a Trikefest 2014 is in my future. Keep the photos coming, no such thing as too many!

[Jcormode]

OH BABY loving the pics cheif I'm on with a similar build on an86' z what've you done to make the aluminium so shiny, barrel, Brake callipers etc. im Adonizing my triple clamps RG3 red, gold zinking swing arm, been silver zink coating most of the steel apart from pipe n bits that get hamered with dirt. Do you have any advise on how to get the white plastics back to white?? And I'm struggling to find any aftermarket rad hoses if you could point me in a good direction? Bearing in mind I'm in uk lol.

[ATC-Eric]

Very nice!!! Looks great!

[oldskool83]

i like your seat. im thinking off addin one to my super-x build.

[badass350x]

Thanks guys, Jcormode keep a eye out on ebay an of course on this site, fenders try coment and a brush!!!

More coming soon on the build...

Dean

[badass350x]

Polishing?? The cylinder was done by greg king, calipers and lower tripple was polished by me, the rest is chrome..
I use mothers to keep it all looking good!

[badass350x]

Well the Z is almost ready to head to the dunes, just finishing up the headlight cage for the dual cabie 500's an a few minor things here and there, will have a pic of starting the cage shortly! O and I want to thank Shawn "SBLT500" for all the work he has done for this build and the most recent part he built me was the thermostat Eliminator for it!!:beer

Nice looking build, what did you have done to the piston?

I've read about some pistons getting coated but I'm not sure what it does exactly.

I'm rebuilding my Z also, so ill be tuning in for sure!
