Tri-z aluminum tank find

[Cave Rider]

This was given to me by a former trike racer,said it was on his trike in 86. Also said it survived a garage fire. Im not a yami guy,but it makes me wanna build a Z now.

[Cave Rider]

Geez,hmmm,not yet I dont think. Still new to the stable. Broome ?? Not to far from me...

[John 4]

We are practically neighbors! It sure would look pretty on my build.

It's still a work in progress. Once I get a little further along I will be starting a thread. How's the riding out that way?

[Cave Rider]

Mostly outlaw,ive resorted back to stock exhausts and night riding to keep a low profile. There is alot of fields,but that gets old. Distance rides are getting tougher. Even tho we tread lightly,there is always those that disapprove unfortunately. Dual sporting is on the rise big time !!!

I'm still very fortunate to still have some nice distance rides right out my back door, however there is some outlaw riding involved here too. Lol!

cool score man! I am on the hunt for an xr/xl 600/650!

[Cave Rider]

thanks man !!! I wish I knew more about it, for instance is this a small production tank. or is it a one off ?? Rory, we have to hook up sometime and go riding !!!

[John 4]

If you decide to keep it I totally understand, but maybe you could let me borrow it so I can reproduce it?

I have a tri-z that needs that tank. Man what a sweet find! I have a couple tri-zs if you want a z for that tank. I have parts, motors, you name it.

That tank looks custom made. It is pretty complex. The tank cap, how it is recessed like that. Someone put alot of work into building that tank.

how much fuel does it hold?

[Cave Rider]

I believe 1.2 gallons is what he said.
