    Thinking of revamping the Tri-Z

    I've had the Z sitting in the garage since I got the R and have only started it once.
    I offered it up for sale, but really don't care to get rid of it in a hurry, so i'm thinking about restyling it this winter.
    If I do, I think I would like to set the bike back up for trail riding and maybe Flat-track duty. This will require headlights to go back on it, as well as a new rear shock to lower it down some. I'm also kicking around the idea of a set of 250R front end. (so I can run the 23" front tire)
    This bike is like my "old faithful". Always starts and has NEVER left me on the trail.

    Here's a posssible "Before" picture

    Don't sell the tri-z Derrick.

    Set it up for the flat track Derrick. That way we can run for the big trophy next year at sunset ramblers. The way I look at selling stuff is, I can't. I figure I already have it & it's paid for, so why get rid of It. They do take up space & you can't ride them all at the same time, but you can ride them all in the same day one at a time. I just got an 85 tri-Z & hope to get it running as soon as I can. It has a bad crank seal. Your Z is one of the nicest I have seen, don't sell it, race it.

    LOL, forgot about that. Guess that wasn't really the bikes fault. I'll never ride that ride again without topping off first!

    At least you remembered to turn the gas on, so you could actually run out!
