Tri Z missile build

[Dual z guy]

Here's a couple picture of my Tri z missile build ( I call it a dual Z)
Anybody else done this to a Tri Z?

Cool! Keep us informed

All I can say is get down with your bad self! That is pretty sweet, did you fab that swinger by yourself?

[Dual z guy]

The front half of the swinger is factory but I built the rest. A big thanks to my neighbour who has a lathe and milling machine in his garage. I still need to build a bolt on rear fender mount but it has turned out pretty good so far. I'm getting excited about getting it completed. Does anyone have any suggestions for an exhaust gasket?

One of the best big wheel builds I've seen! Keep posting.

What is the back tire that running?

[czac]

I wish someone else would come out with a kit like this for sale... these are awesome. So what's the difference in riding a big wheel like this and a regular dirt bike... besides the obvious big wheel stuff like mud and snow riding? Does it handle better or worse or the same on trail riding?

[Dual z guy]

The back tire is a Carlisle Black Rock 25-10 12 I don't know what it will handle like yet but I'm hoping it will be good. Got the exhaust and some other small jobs done today and ordered a custom rear brake line.

does anybody know about the tri z 250's. it has a yz 250 motor(it was already in it). it has alot of power and torch just no speed. get it in 4&5 gear and she just wants putt along no power. can you help me

[Dual z guy]

Got the brakes finished up. I used a cr250 brake caliper and a Suzuki dr125 disc on the rear.
Fabbed up a rear fender mounting bracket and a support to make everything solid ( all bolt on - no frame mods) bring for powder coating tomorrow.
Changed fork oil and trans oil.
Filled rads ( very happy there were no leaks as this bike was built from parts )
Installed jack shaft and fabbed chain guard.

Here are some pictures

What did you do for a jack shaft? Are those sprockets welded to the bolt? Any bearings used?

Very nice project, looks like a blast to ride.

Could be carb problems, maybe the float's not properly adjusted and it's starved for gas? Need more details, start your own thread and I'm sure people will help you out.

This is one bad ass build wish i had one

[Dual z guy]

Greasable bushings, if the bushings don't hold up I'll bore each end of the hub out to except a bearing but the bushings are cheap and easy to change and did not require any machining to the sprocket hub. All parts for the jack shaft assembly are readily available and easy to make. The jack shaft chain is non adjustable but I did use a very high strength 520 chain and will likely have to change the whole section of chain when it needs adjusting.
I machined a .75" bolt down to .625" and left only an inch of thread to the outside of the swing arm where a .75" nut was inset. I have attached a photo

Thats a cool build! I love seeing the stuff guys create on this board!

As the current owner of the 2cate that justben built I can tell you some of my personal feelings. Ive made opinions after putting quite a few miles on the 2cate.
When ben finished the 2cate the trikes rake was way to steep to handle as a bigwheel, he added a steering stabilizer 1st then added rake by piecutting the frame. That fixed its ride!
You will not like the rear tire, it is way to agressive.
When you start riding it forget everything else you have ridden, they are their own beast.
the best way to describe the feel is a topheavy MX bike w flat tires.
I find I dont lean hard into turns, I lean the bike but try to keep my body upright, let them big tires find where they want to be.. lol

good luck w the rest of the build!
