Looks fantastic!, I like the reflective stickers, gonna be mean looking when headlights catch it at night.

Dont know if your still wrestling with your wiring harness but heres a wiring diag that my dad drew up for me when i got confused by the Yamaha manuals one.

Your Dad should do that for a living, drawing up diagrams, tell him thats the best drawing I ever saw, nice job Mr. Slothminx !!!

Fanfreakintastic!!! Thanks Sloth.. that is most helpful. I'm printing that out right now for sure! Since I'm not running any lights on this and have a kill teather I'm going to be eliminating the on/off switch all together from the handlebars. should give it a much cleaner look.

I also discovered a few other things I was missing when Orangeshee was up over the weekend. But everything I need is on its way.

I'm already getting bored having nothing to do in the garage.. I just love tearin these old machines apart and fixin them up. Not sure what will be next on the list.

Thanks for all the advice, tips, and parts along the way guys! none of it would be possible without this place!

No need to start a new thread for this question so I thought I'd just throw it in here.

Are most of you guys running the 25 inch tire on the front? Is there a smaller one avalable and if so what kind. Also what kind of silver aluminum rims are available? Will a 250r rim work?

Sitting on this machine it seems awefully high and Huffa mentioned the other day when he was up about how much ground clearence there was. (not that its a bad thing) but I hadn't really noticed until he mentioned it.

So I'm just kind curious about that size tires you Z guys are running.

[Mosh]

I run a Carlisle 489 a/t.It is a 24 inch.
As far as rims go,The only silver ones will be from a 85 1/2 Tri-z.A Honda wheel will go on there,But you have to swap out the whole hub and all.But the Hondas do go down to a 10 inch rim in aftermarket .Try lowering your fork tubes 1 inch.It is free to do, and might suit your needs.I actually like the 24 inch setup and the stock fork height.It works well for rocky and rough trails.

[chris200x]

I just went out and double checked the tire sizes. The front is 25x8x12 and the rears are 22x12x8 and I bet the bottom of the frame is a good 11 inches off the ground (if not more) Is this the actual stock sizes for the tri z? They just seem big to me for some reason.

I also wanna make sure 100% that anyone know if 400ex rear hubs work on the ends of the triz axle??????? I dont wanna spend the little money I have at the moment to find they do not fit. I'd like to switch over to the 4/110 honda bolt pattern if at all possible.

[sblt500r]

i ran a 23.5 front max on my 250r and 200x. i think you can also get a 23 front tire with an 11 inch rim.

[slothminx]

The 86 Z came with a 23 inch front and handled better then the 85, Ive got the 25 inch one on mine and have just lowered the forks in the clamps and it seems to have a nice weight balance front to back, though I would like to get a 23 up there some time to compliment my 18's at the back

[chris200x]

18's on the rear? Can you post a pic of that sloth? I Think I'm gonna be better off with the bigger tires the more I think about it. We got alot of rocky trails over here where I ride.

I just measured the clearance from the ground to the bottom of the frame. 12 1/2"... I didn't ride the trike yet but that gotta feel pretty top heavy or tippy.

Edit: Hey Sloth, What size front sprocket are you using with those tires on the back?

Don't forget, it's should sag quite a few inches with you sitting on it.

Also, with the gas tank not in the usual place, that helps a great deal with lowering the center of gravity.

It will be very interesting to ride your Z and my R back to back and see which one feels lighter. On the scale, from specs I read, yours is close to 20 lbs heavier but yet for some reason looks lighter. I'm sure your steel swingarm (shame on Yamaha) adds a few ponds right there but at least it is not sprung weight.

Raffa cracked his again, did you know that? That was on Sunday when I was not there. You may very well need to beef yours up, or was it already?
