Very nice Z louis. I had started to try and make one of those tanks one time out of some sheet aluminum but quit cause it didn't look worth a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro and I was having a very hard time getting the weld to stick on it. Let me have your mods list and I'll add it to the readers rigs.

That looks like the JP racing aluminum fuel tank. I'd love to have one too.!

That's an awesome Z!

A wire wheel will take the rust off that axle pretty easily.

The tank was made in the 86 for flat track racing. I did some resarch after Ronnie told me the history of the trike. I can not remeber who made it but they were pretty common back then.

What is wrong with them

? Or are you talking about the bracket for my drag pipe? I am biulding a drag engine for it and I went ahead and bolted on the bracket for the drag pipe I have on so I would not lose it.

that is one sick looking Z. I really like that tank too, all around it looks awesome too.
What kind of tires and what size?
And I would also like to see if the blurry background trick works.

**mywifeknowseverything** · 02-21-2005, 05:19 PM

I just found out some History on both yours and My bike.....

Hmmmm,,,,,

I wonder who has your Original 86 motor...

**LonesomeTriZ** · 02-21-2005, 07:08 PM

Mine does not. Ronnie pulled it when it sold the Z. I have an 85 five speed on it. I do not really care though because of what I have in store for it. What did tou find out about yours?

I have been getting a lot of questions about my 86 straight liner and the fuel tank that is on it. So I figured I would just post this information and hopefully it will help. The trike use to belong to Ronnie. He built the swing arm. It measures 13 inches over stock. The trike originally belonged to Klemm research. A picture is posted on 3WW. The tank on it was either built by them or another after market company. Do not get excited over that tank. It looks cool, but it is only good for racing. It holds very little fuel and has no reserve. But it is perfect for a drag racer. Ronnie kept the original engine and installed the 85 five speed that is on it now. It is still very quick and is not stack, but it just does not do that trike justice. I bought a stroker kit for it and with some of my tricks I will have that eating straight line quads for lunch. I have attached the photo I referred to above. I hope this has answered all your questions.
