A Little 86 Tri Z update --NOS OEM fun

[Orangecnty250r]

Here's a little update on the 86 Z. I figure about every 4-6 weeks I'll post the progress of this machine. The bike is now totally disassembled. I threw in a shot of how nice the chappy red plastics are for those who havent seen them before. Also a pic of my huge Tri Z banner that I look at as inspiration to finish this machine.

I fixed the NOS seat cover Alignment -- The one the Pros put on crooked. I took Xsystems advice and redid it myself.

I decided that this machine may be close to done before winter(I never really call a bike totally done) I initially though this may be a winter project.

Ive acquired some OEM and NOS parts. I have all new foot pegs and brake assembly most of which is discontinued--

I am happy about this as most Tri Z right foot pegs are trashed from the kicker so even if powder coated they wouldnt be perfect. Also the factory finish on these pegs is hard to duplicate with powder (very unique can't really tell from the pic ...glossy black would be nice but not original).

As you can see I've got various chain guides , new OEM switch which is discontinued and various other odds and ends.

I'm currently acquiring some other NOS/OEM stuff which i'll post next time.

I getting excited -- I can start to envision the finished product in my head.

I'm kinda scared to ask this, but I must know.....How much was all this stuff?!?!?!?!

The fork boots are great...they are really hard to find.

I love it. You need to find a new front fender...thats a tough one.

Good job....once you get yours done...I'll take my 86' z out and snap some pics.....you'll motivate me to take it out of retirement!!'

They are for bolts that attach to the frame to the hold the plastics on, my Z has them as well.

Looks wicked Oc250r! Can not wait till I see the finish product. I am always drooling over your machines, I think im going to pick a banner up for myself just like the one you have. How much was that?

[edog]

All i have to say is WOW.

[Dammit!]

Do you have an online gallery for your trikes?

i hate to start anything,but my yellow tri-z has an 86 frame under it. ther are no mounts on the frame that would line up to those holes behind the seat. all my fender mounts are under the seat. other then the two on each side on the lower fender.

so once again(unless i missed something in the pic???) what are those two holes behind the seat for???

[twgranger]

I have 2 sets of yellow fenders with them dam little holes too. And i don't think they are for supports because my original fenders that came on it did not have the holes and their is no where on the frame that the supports can bolt to either.

That's nice OC250R, I love seeing lots of NOS parts. It's like, "Hmmm... that pic has $250 worth of items, that pic has $400..." LMAO.

Thats really weird, I have all OEM plastics and they came standard when I bought the trike. My frame has exact metal locations under the plastic for support. Ah well, the Tri-Z will still look good!
