    85 Z FINALLY back in one piece

    Its finally back together afetr 4 months of being torn apart, Started after 7 kicks!. So much work has gone into it, its nice that it started so easily.

    Couple of guys to say thanks too:

    Moshman355-seat cover
    Oldschoolin86-few parts here and there and lots of encouragement
    Mike- For being a pain in the ass! and making want to prove Z's own
    Howdy-spent time matching my broken coil to another from in his shop
    Kintore- for making me get on with it! he was always there pushing me to get her done.
    And other guys too!


    Still got a few things to do, Carrier possibly new bearings and painting. New Razr tires(when $$ allows),new grabber, and new rear plastics.

    Im so please to have it back together now All I got to do now is take her for a spin!

    After

    Satin black can paint, I prepped it real good and keyed the surface with 400 grit paper and degreased and voila.

    Thanks guys

    The boots are Pro-grip ones I dont know much other about them apart from there the smallest diameter they do. I got them from my local yamaha dealer.

    Thanks! I just got to add some aftermarket jazz on her now . I got an answer silencer on its way too.

    LOL.. yeah. Those wooley boogers look ok on my SX utility trike, but they just don't look right on a sport trike. Get yourself some nice low profile racing tires and you'll have a very nice trike on your hands.
