Got a few more things before Im happy with it. Just got to get the front rim here, and paint the rears. Then get a hood, and get a brake line on its way. With this bike, I wanted the flat black, mean looking machine. My other Drag Z is nothing but chrome, polished parts, and bling, this one I want the exact opposite. I wanted every piece of it to look like a weapon, or like it would hurt you. There is a nice circle and triangle theme running through the entire bike that I think makes it flow really nice.
Some of the specs, 1985 Tri Z frame, front end, and swinger (extended +12) rigid rear end. 1985 CR500 engine with ESR CR ignition kit. Its been ported and polished, to what extent I dont know. Plans are for this coming winter, send the motor off and get it full blown drag ported, with matching carb, pipe, head job, 2-5 override, and so on.
The conversion to very little time, infact this bike has been finished for over a month now, I was just waiting on other parts to swap out that I stole from my other Z. The motor was almost a direct drop in, and takes no major frame mods. To fit the motor in the frame, and have it welded up, and almost ready to ride took me 5 hours. The Honda frame conversions all take a lot longer from what Ive read, inface weeks or months. I wont go into great detail about the conversion, unless someone is very serious about making one also. As far as I know, this is the first CR500/ Tri Z Hybrid done. If Im wrong, please correct me, and have proof.
Here is the damage..
