MY TRI-Z IS DONE!!! almost... (pics.pics.pics)

[zmpolaristech]

Well, After a COMPLETE teardown, a TON of cash, and too much time to keep track of, I am ALMOST finished with my '85 1/2 Z. The only thing left to do is beadblast the front and rear calipers, put 'em on and blead them. Then... IT'S TRAIL TIME!!! Any way, I rode her around the yard a bit tonight (just couldn't wait) to see if everything was going to be OK, and find the parts i didn't tighten (only thing I found, and was kinda major, i never tightened the lock bolt on the axle nut, the axle caim loose, and threw the chain. so much for fresh paint on the sprocket hub and carrier...). let me know what you guys think. It's my first trike build, although I have done alot of quads. Here are the pics:naughty:

[Black86tri-z]

looks nice good job buddy

[zmpolaristech]

thanx for the clutch cable holder maggiesboy! I wouldn't have been riding tonight without it.

Nice build man! And great attention to detail. Like the exhaust combo.

[Mosh]

Nice build.
What kind of foot pegs are those?
Are they Warrior pegs by chance?How much modding did you need to fit them?
What kind of pipe is that?

[torker]

Great job on that Z !!!
TORKER.

What kind of pipe is that?

both pegs were built out of left side banshee pegs. The left side was easy, very little work to make it right. the right side was a bit more tricky. I had to cut the stock banshee peg off the plate and reweld to the oposite side. Then i hacked up the stock z peg and welded the brake lever mount on. Didn't turn out to bad. The pipe (I BELIEVE) is a LRD.

[Mosh]

Thanks for the info.I discovered warrior pegs might be a option too with about the same modding,but they will set about 1/4 inch lower than stock.That is why I asked if they were warrior pegs.
Whatever you did with them,it will be better than stock pegs.LOL
Definately a unique exhaust,and I like the old school rock guards on it.

I am sure everyone noticed the lack of the headlight assy. Well, I installed the ALL-BALLS steering bearings, and now my headlight housing won't fit back on. Anyone else have this problem?

[Taiser]

My god that's sweet!

[ATC-Eric]

Wow man, great lookin bike! :D

I really like it.

[pickleweasel_00]

where did you get the guard for the pipe?

[fosterwy]

What type of throttle cable do you have on that Z

[zmpolaristech]

Got the pipe gaurd out of parts unlimited...they are still available

[zmpolaristech]

What type of throttle cable do you have on that Z

The cable is a braided stainless from Terry Cable. It actually came off my banshee that is running a 2 into 1 carb set-up. I bought a new, longer one for my 'shee, and donated the old one to the Z. Since they both run a PWK carb, and a billet throttle assy, it worked PERFECT.:Bounce

Nice looking trike you have there. Now maybe I can get you on it to go for a ride. Pretty bad that I have to look on here to see it. lol. I guess thats my fault though. Been listening to the radio and hearing the wheeler ride in mayville? Give me a call tonight and lets talk about going up there

Yeah, I heard a couple guys mention it this morning, but i haven't realy heard much about it. I am down for goin' though. I just gotta get some brakes on this thing. It's a little scarry to ride w/o them, but I had to ride it. Runs good, sounds good, rides pretty nice too. Can't wait to get it on the trails!!

[rman]

very sweet looking tri-z, you done a fine job on it :)

[tri-Z ripper]

very nice job definetly would be scary riding without brakes!!
