Almost ready to roll.

[chris200x]

I'm just waiting:w00t: for some chamber seal and a clamp for the muffler. I also need some shrouds. :rolleyes:

I'm debating on getting a chrome DG because I hear the stock pipe is better for trail riding around here. (opinions needed).

It seems like its taking forever to get this done. I wanna ride!:w00t:

[RedRider_AK]

The Beast lives again! Good to see it ready to ride again after "Farmer John" took the sledge to it...

[brapp]

its hammer time lol!!

[Dammit!]

I think the stickers look good. I'd put a black headlight with a yellow guard on it too.

[RedRider_AK]

I kinda like those big Yamaha stickers. I thought they'd look gaudy on the plastics but they look nice. Kind of a "reverse OEM" theme LOL.


its hammer time lol!!

:lol: :lol: Funny and makes me cringe at the same time.

[edog]

Looking good Chris!!!!!!!!!

[NINJA]

Nice looking Z. What's the farmer John story alll about?

[ATC-Eric]

Keep the stickers, looks great!!!

Glad to see it almost ready to go!

[chris200x]

I like the stickers too but the yellow dont exactly mtch up. I think it would look better with an all black seat.:crazy: I really can't make up my mind. lol

I like the idea of the headlight and yellow guard too but until I can find one this plate will do. Its actually a darker yellow but its hard to tell in the pics. ;)

[Eric250R]

Nice looking Z. What's the farmer John story alll about?

That is a long story in it's self, all I can say is Chris is much more forgiving than I. But great job man, looking great...:beer

[hondaracer11]

is that the z that someone came over and hit with a sledge

[DeePa]

do you have any motor work done? We are gonna have to line em up at hazleton...

Mike

[chris200x]

No Mike not really.. just .80 over on a fresh motor. Goes pretty good though from what I can remember. :rolleyes:

I know what the problem is with the no spark. I'm just too tired to mess with it today. :drool:

[brapp]

[GoodKarma]

Glad to see it up and running again Chris! Get some actions photos or vids to share.............some superman, knack-knack, no-hands, whatever tricks you are up to now!

On a serious note, it is cool to see you were able to stay at it, and not give up after the accident!:beer

[Huffa]

Looks great Chris. :beer

I think saying Yamaha 5 times on the trike is overdoing it, I see I'm the only one that thinks that way though? :wondering

I liked it plain, reguardless what stickers you would put on fenders, looks too busy.

Otherwise, awsome Z buddy ! :beer

OH, and black around the # plate border, anyone else think that ?

[DeePa]

huffa you coming to hazleton?

[Huffa]

huffa you coming to hazleton?

I didn't go on the ride forum in a while, don't know what's up, I'll go check, imagine that's what you are referring to ?

Ahhh man, if it's this weekend, I'll be away .

[ATCT]

I've gotta say man, usually I'm an OEM-look kinda guy, but that bike looks fantastic like that. I think it's BETTER looking than the original Tri-Z. A job well done.

[DeePa]

huffa

its the sunday of november 4th

[Nick_R_23]

That reminds me of the time I tried counting how many times I could see the name "Polaris" on my dads sled from one angle.....I think it counted 22 if I remember right.....I think thats a little overdone.......and its stock too. :lol:

I wish I could see the pics from this computer,, Ill have to check them out when I get home,, I bet that Z looks awesome Chris!!!

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[chris200x]

Yup. I have to agree with the huffster on this one. If the seat were just black.. the big decals would look sweet. Just too busy with the graphics and the decals.

The #plate is going to stay until I can find a decent headlight and guard (hint hint!) I dont think I'll paint a boarder though as there are alot of fine grooves running throughout the plate and I think the zip ites would wear the paint off in no time.

Thanks for the kind words guys.. I can hardly wait to ride it!

[Huffa]

Chris, I have those plastic fork tube # plate mounts you could have, if you think it might look better a tad out farther ?

I certainly can't really tell from the picture if it's pushing on cables, etc, only you know that.

They are red, so you would have to paint them.

Deepa, thanks for that info, that's my birthday, I'll be 53 :rolleyes:

It's a possibility for sure.

[3wheelmaniac]

Nice...hey...want to sell it now...before the farmer gets it...
Ya up for a Thanksgiving Weekend run?:beer :beer :beer

HEY!!! GLad to see you finally posted! :welcome: :w00t:

I might consider trading you for that sweet 350x ya got! ;)

Thanksgiving would work out good because I'm usually home alone... can't stand the relatives.. so I stay home. :lol:

Keep in touch bud!

[chris200x]

Hey Huffa...

My birthday is Oct. 31st. What better way to celebrate than going out on a days ride with those guys.

I got those supports left over from my busted up aussieplate. Not sure If I'll even use them as I dont want to go drillin holes in this thing.

[Tryzeedudeman]

I'd go with the oem tri z fender decals, i think it is a bit too much. But im just a good rider, not much of a good looker:D

[Huffa]

I thought yours was pretty close to mine, cool!

Yea, can't blame ya for no holes.

[brapp]

hey man lets break tat beast in properly!!!!!

[RID3R]

Looks very nice chris, where did you get those yellow brake lines, covers???

[chris200x]

That is yellow wire loom.. just a cover. I have that braided stainless kit that flyingW is offering over on 3wheeler.org that I plan on using instead. I just havent gotten around to it yet.

here's the link to that braided stainless I got:

http://www.3wheeler.org/vb/showthread.php?t=29180

[Huffa]

Your triple clamps, do they have holes in top and bottom for head light bracket or anything ?

The thought occurred to me that eventully you could make L brackets for # plate and simply zip tie through the mesh with yellow ties, would give a cleaner look and you could adjust the distance away from forks how ever far you want ?

I have some nice aluminum that would work well for the job.

[RID3R]

Where did you get this wire loom, never heard of that.. Id go for it on my stuff..

[chris200x]

Type in wire loom on ebay... its all over the place dude... that stainless stuff flyingW is selling is WAY better though... I'm gonna throw that stuff on this weekend.

Mr. huffa... the plate came with a mounting kit but I just tossed it on with the ties for the pics.

[chris200x]

Well I got spark now.. but it still wont start. the plug is wet too so idk... ?

I dont think my fuel pump is working because I cant get fuel from the pump to the carb. I even filled the bowl with fuel and still no luck... any ideas?

[Huffa]

How did the plug get wet then ?

[sandpuppi101]

I'm glad too see your still at it Chris,I think the Z look's great just the way it is..Keep it up !!

[chris200x]

How did the plug get wet then ?


Well after kickin on it forever I decided to go ahead and dump some fuel down into the carb.

I'm going to try and tow it behind the truck to catch it in gear here in a bit.. it's a real PITA to try and get the fuel lines primed if the system is bone dry.

Or mabe since this is a pump I picked up off ebay a while back it may not even be working. I got the one I rebuilt oringinally but fuel was leaking from the bowl on that one.

Its very frustrating as I'm try my best to get this trail ready for the 4th.

[Tri-ZNate]

chris, get a quart oil jug and fill it with gas. Put a nozzel on it so you can gravity feed fuel to the carb. Eliminate the pump altogether

[DeePa]

My fuel pump is leaking from the bowl too...

havent the slightest clue how to fix it.

Probably gotta tear down the bowl and scope it out but then i have to drain the tank and its full...disconnect everything with the pump, leak gas everywhere...is it worth it? Im trying to decide. That little bowl is the only thing that leaks on the entire trike.

MikeYou dont have to drain the tank.Just disconnect your hoses and pinch them off with vise grips,or stick some bolts in the end of the lines.This will stop the tank from leaking while you fix the pump.
When my bowl leaked,I unscrewed the bowl,replaced the rubber o-ring from a hardware store and put teflon pipe tape on the threads of the bowl.took care of the problem.The whole fix should only cost 3 bucks and take 1 hour,including going to the hardware store:)

[Bryan Raffa]

garden hose rubber washer and teflon tape.. I bet your farmer neighbor has a garden hose..:twisted:

[DeePa]

well you dont have to block off fuel lines to change that washer and teflon that bowl up, but dont go unscrewing the on/off switch screws. You will get gas all over the place.

I did that garden hose and teflon fix and it looks good for now.

Thanks,

Mike

[chris200x]

Yup.. I'm good to go now as well. Wheeleiepop and brapp just stopped by and we got my Z going. :-)

I can hardly wait for next weekend!!!

[DeePa]

mine still doent have a rear end on it, waiting on swinger bearings, bushing, seals...exhaust gasket flange thingy and some other MISC stuff.

i cant wait either, not looking forward to the drive, but itll be worth it. Not as cold this time I hope.

Mike
