    Not sure about what shop rebuilt it. I will shoot the seller an e-mail and see if he remembers.

    The cost of this Tri-Z, or any upper class trike really, was worth the drive. I liked the sites too. Didn't pick up any PA tourist maps or anything though. MAN I though Ohio was a long drive.

    Pssh, nothing compared to the constant winds in PA! Gotta love it!

    I am still feeling sleepy from that trip though... all of the No-Doz is catching up to me... fast.

    I'm going to see about ordering a pipe this week and then maybe starting it and breaking it in, properly.

    I did get a book from the sale... mine as well do it according to it

    If I remember correct, the whole motor was rebuilt on that!

    Pretty rare to have a member travel THAT far for a trike, WAY TO GO CHRIS!!!

    I can't get used to the seat though, a bit too busy for me but it is different, that's for sure.
    If you live half an hour away, then I'm roughly 6.5hours away.

    Welcome to the boards Chris

    That is one helluva haul for a trike, but with a good buddy Im sure it was fun.

    Why are you going to get rid of that silencer? I think you'll love it when you get it runing, the Z's have a LOT of pop to them.

    Welcome to the club buddy

    Awesome Trike.That seat is vintage.I like it as well.You might want to pick up a spare seat, and store that one.I do not believe that style cover is available any more.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    I have been a little north of you before... Niagara Falls. But it wasn't in winter.

    I would of drove that distance just for that seat. LOL very cool. I'm about an hour or less north of where you picked that up. I was watching the auction on ebay.

    That's quite a bit of trike for a first ride don't you think?

    Hahha, silly kids. I have been riding for a while now, this is the FIRST one I've personally owned.

    And I think I will want to make it go faster ! but... we'll save that for another day.
