Well back in or around 86/87 watchin local enduro races back home I saw this awesome yellow blur. This thing ran like a "Raped Ape" the sound it made sent a chill of fear through my young teenaged body, when this beast flew by us every hair was on end and the smell,well it was just intoxicating. Yes, an 85 Z. This thing was a work of art and it had the bite to match its bark. I have wanted this trike forever it seems, it has been nothing but an allueding, unatainable dream to me. Well let me tell you, a little patients, a couple decades later and an email from a fellow 3WW board member, my dream will be a reality, saturday afternoon :w00t: now all I need to get for it is a front break system and it appears I'm gonna have to 180 the forks, I think thier on backwards, please correct me if I'm wrong, so anybody that can help me out shoot me a pm.

I know exactly what you mean, Big reds and unsuspendeds are all I get here too, with the exception of a 200X once in a while.
What's the motor like on that one, all stock?

its on its first bore with about 2 hours so I have been told, some may recognize it from ebay about a year ago out of Florida. The owner was going to the motorcycle institute down there.

Ok so I went and picked up the Z today. It was a bit more tattered than I could see from the pics but I got it anyhow. Shifter welded, rad fins cracked, frame spray bombed, headlight bulbs busted and other little stuff. Now she runs great and after I figured out where the choke was it starts great too (imagine that). I will get some pics up in a couple days.
