    Thanks to 3Razors for the tip on petcocks. I was going to get a rebuild kit for my 86 but he advised me to just replace it with a banshee petcock. Which works great for me working at a yamaha dealer. Total cost was just over $14 dollars for a COMPLETE unit. Thanks man!

    Jeff...Is that a direct bolt on or do you have to perform any mods to make it fit...i.e....elongate/enlarge mounting holes??

    Got the front fender in finally. Waiting on the rear yet. I got the rest of the allballs bearings and two bearings for the uni-trak linkage. Setup a Sudco dealer account at work and got the parts I need to freshen up the carb. The stock carb has a 3.3 needle and seat. Thats just huge!

    Anyone use an AllBalls seal head for there shock before?

    Jeff - do you plan on going all out with this build like you did with the Tr-Z? If so - wowsers, should be worth watching!

    Your attention to detail on the Z was downright insane.

    Brosef. I plan on doing it just as big!

    No shame in this game. Ask those who have seen the Z in person.

    Mean green will be just as crazy!

    Nice score, is Obama paying for these parts???? Or have you found employment, reguardless enough teasing with the front fender, let's see those rear fenders!!!!!!!!!! You have a serious N.O.S. addiction. Keep the pics coming, can't wait to watch this to unfold.

    Haha. No this is not an Obama Admin funded project. This is straight up working man's money. I can't gain any money by keeping it in the worthless banks. I'd rather invest in a sweet project!

    Finally got all my plastics. Still trying to decide on frame powdercoat. Debating on a ZINC plated frame. I just think it would be totally different. My tucker rocky rep gave me some free contour fat bars and mounts so I figured I'd put them to use. Its nice to have that kind of connection.

    Trying to get ahold of AussieDuner to see if he still makes the UFO air box covers. Anyone know?

    Been spending some time with the green. Got a few more parts for it as of late. New PRM bumper. Finally got the levers sorted out. Machined some parts. Machined a master cylinder cover, anodized some stuff, and etched in the dealer I work for's logo. Received Shawn's repro rubber grommets. They are super nice! Thanks Shawn.

    Fired up the old cnc and cranked out some medical grade TI banjo's and brake bleeders! Thats right Titanium, why? Why not. LOL

    what's the taillight from?
    A Rental Car is the only true all-terrain vehicle.
    " I actually think it is good that you have clubs where people can go and enjoy riding these things together. It reminds me of how the prisoners on death row have fun waiting for their turn on the electric chair. Fair enough, the trike isn't an electric chair, but it is about as safe and comfortable as one."
