86 Tri Z progress pics

[Trikeaholic]

here is a pic of the motor before and after. There is ALOT more to do! I swear, I have never seen a machine this beat before. Not even my $20 Tri Moto 175 was this bad, but then I didn't tear it down to the frame for a rebuild, either. Thanks to all that helped out with parts. I think it was Tri-Z Brian that hooked me up with the engine cases, they are super nice shape, except for the bent cylinder stud. hope I can get it out without too much cursing.

Nothing better than the looks of fresh paint.

trust me, it will all be worth it when youre completely done.

its getting worse! every fastener is either rounded off, welded on, or just stuck as heck. Tonite, it took like 2 hours to get the axle out of the carrier. What a junker. Certainly was NOT worth what I paid for it! mabey half that. Its coming along though, and will be cherry when its finished.

Yeah well I trashed a perfectly good axle trying to get mine out of the carrier.

Put some anti-sieze on that baby.

Let me know how it all turns out!!

thanks! well, you should have seen it when I got it. I dont know what I was thinking. The pics I posted back then dont do it justice, believe me. should have thrown it in the junkyard. (I could never do that to a trike)

Were in upstate are you?

Looks good Holic. Wayyy better than mine! :( I've thought about making my pretty, but realized it wouldn't be worth it in the conditions I live & ride in. I guess I'm lucky with my axle, mine came right out when I changed it. The swingarm bolt however....aye aye aye, what a fiasco.
