Pictures of one of my 86 Tri Z’s, by request

[LonesomeTriZ]

I pulled my straight line 86 Tri Z out of temporary retirement over the weekend because so many people have asked to see pictures. So tell me what you all think. :)

[LonesomeTriZ]

Duh, I forgot to post the photographs.

[1984kxtTECATE]

Sweet, any action shots

[LonesomeTriZ]

Yep, wiat one.

[83185s]

thats bad ass!!! how fast have you clocked her?? or have you? lol i be4t thats a mean mofo!

[LonesomeTriZ]

These are not real good. My woman could not click the camera fast enough to get the Z coming off the line.

[LonesomeTriZ]

She is pretty quck, but I have not doen much with it. I am building a stroker for it. The engine that is on it if fast, but it is not worthy of such a sunspension.

[LonesomeTriZ]

By the way, any body know where I can get another tank like the one on this 86 Z?

[1984kxtTECATE]

One word, Bada**, in order to get a background blur picture have her aim the camera at you and when you take off have the camera follow the bike and take the pic while she is following the bike. It will make the background blurry and you will have an awesome action shot, just my .02

[LonesomeTriZ]

We will have to practice that. Thanks for the advice. :)

[hedge1988]

cool pic man very sharp trike. Makes mine look oh so sad lol

[LonesomeTriZ]

Thanks. It still has a long way to go though.

[CHAINSAW]

Lookin sweet man! I think all of us wish we knew where a tank like that was at.

[twgranger]

I seen that on ebay before. Can't forget seeing that nice Z!!

[LonesomeTriZ]

That is where I bought it. It was about an hour away form me. when I got there the guy had enough parts to biuld three more complete Tri Z's. That is how I got my black and red 85 and my second 86. bought it all for $700. Not including the stretched out 86 you see hear.

[Billy Golightly]

Very nice Z louis. I had started to try and make one of those tanks one time out of some sheet aluminum but quit cause it didn't look worth a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro and I was having a very hard time getting the weld to stick on it. Let me have your mods list and I'll add it to the readers rigs.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Okay, I'll get those to you later on. Keep in mind this one is still under constrcution. This is the trike I got the stroker for.

Lookin sweet man! I think all of us wish we knew where a tank like that was at.

I think Ronnie Built that Tank....That is his Old Bike "Dawg",,,I think that is what he named it...I emailed him about the Tank but havent got an answer back.....

Very Nice Pics there Lonsome!!!!!
:w00t: :TrikesOwn

[Jeb]

That looks like the JP racing aluminum fuel tank. I'd love to have one too.! :beer

That's an awesome Z!

[Dammit!]

A wire wheel will take the rust off that axle pretty easily. ;)

[vartiak15]

whats up with them foot pegs?

The tank was made in the 86 for flat track racing. I did some resarch after Ronnie told me the history of the trike. I can not remeber who made it but they were pretty common back then.

Yeah, I should have done somethignabout that beofre taking photographs. Like I siad though I pulled out of a temporary retirement. I am gathering all the parts I need for a serious biuld. That trike will not be reconized when I am through. :D

[LonesomeTriZ]

whats up with them foot pegs?

What is wrong with them :wondering ? Or are you talking about the bracket for my drag pipe? I am biulding a drag engine for it and I went ahead and bolted on the bracket for the drag pipe I have on so I would not lose it. ;)

[Kintore]

that is one sick looking Z. I really like that tank too, all around it looks awesome too.
What kind of tires and what size?
And I would also like to see if the blurry background trick works.

[mywifeknowseverything]

I just found out some History on both yours and My bike.....

Hmmmm,,,,,

I wonder who has your Original 86 motor... :D :naughty:

[LonesomeTriZ]

Mine does not. Ronnie pulled it when it sold the Z. I have an 85 five speed on it. I do not really care though because of what I have in store for it. What did tou find out about yours?

Thanks. They are 20 inch geckos.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I have been getting a lot of questions about my 86 straight liner and the fuel tank that is on it. So I figured I would just post this information and hopefully it will help. The trike use to belong to Ronnie. He built the swing arm. It measures 13 inches over stock. The trike originally belonged to Klemm research. A picture is posted on 3WW. The tank on it was either built by them or another after market company. Do not get excited over that tank. It looks cool, but it is only good for racing. It holds very little fuel and has no reserve. But it is perfect for a drag racer. Ronnie kept the original engine and installed the 85 five speed that is on it now. It is still very quick and is not stack, but it just does not do that trike justice. I bought a stroker kit for it and with some of my tricks I will have that eating straight line quads for lunch. I have attached the photo I referred to above. I hope this has answered all your questions.

[mywifeknowseverything]

I bought the original 86 motor from Ronnie...He is Building it for me right now and I should have it back in June sometime...Small world Huh!???

[LonesomeTriZ]

Very small. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. I would like this trike to have its original engine back.

[mywifeknowseverything]

I hope you didnt take my post as me puttin the digs on ya...I just thought it was neat that I had part of your Bike :D And I new the History of yours....
As for the Motor....I have more money in it than 3 of my Bikes put together... I doubt I will ever sell it...Hell,,,I havent even seen it...Ronnie has been Building it for the last couple of yrs in his Spare time...He said I should have it by June.... :w00t:

[LonesomeTriZ]

No, I took no offense. I was heart broke when I found out the engine was not right after I bought the Z. I asked Ronnine if he still had it, but I do not remember what he said. At least I know it will have a good home. I think it would be better for me to go on with my stroker engine any way. :D

[CHAINSAW]

I think it would be better to go with the stroker also.. :) With all these parts from each others machines, its like they are all related.. hehe

[LonesomeTriZ]

Does that mean they are all inbread?

[CHAINSAW]

Id say Craig is the inbred one.. lol j/k bro

[LonesomeTriZ]

It was on the trike when I bought it. It is 13 inches over stock.

[gotballs 250r 82]

[LonesomeTriZ]
