    86 Tri Z rebuild! Shes done! *New pics* TF bound!

    Well, after long thinking and pondering about whether I should or not, I sent my cylinder off to Jason Hall (Halls performance) off for porting.
    While it was away I added a few things,

    Pro taper CR mid bars
    Progressive springs
    02 warrior shock
    Painted countless things, skidplate, pegs, throttle cover blah blah blah
    Installed DG pipe soon to be FMF pipe off Ronnie! Thanks!
    Cleaned it
    New grips
    Switched to thumb throttle
    Re greased some things
    New piston, top end

    Well, I wasnt to sure of my mechanical abilites but will talked me into it. I did the entire top end myself!
    It may not sound much, but I have learned so much off 3WW!

    Halls performance porting, wow the throttle response is awesome! I only got to barely enough throttle so it didnt bog today, but I got to half once and wham she hit me, He even painted the cylinder for me for free! Seems the more the ride it the faster it gets!!!!

    I highly reccomend Jason!


    Thanks for all the help guys, im ready for TF only a few more tanks of fuel and shell be totally broke in.

    And now for some pics-










    I was going to take new pics of me breaking it in today, but it was a crappy overcast day. More pics to come!


    What do ya think?

    Number 1: That trike is looking good, nice job on the frame!! Number 2: where are you re-building this thing? From the pic, it looks like that building was about 2 min from burning down, I hope that no one was hurt.

    I highly recommend an Aussieduner number plate for that. It would look a lot better imo. A white one with a red mesh and white numbers would look awesome on your trike.

    Number plate nit-picking aside, that's a sweet Z.

    Here's a couple pics of those plates. Note that neither of these are mounted right. They come with spacers to put between the plate and the forks to hold them in exactly the right spot. These are just laying on top of the fenders for the pics.
