Request for Dammit....

[Darius1502]

Dammit or anyone else that knows how to use photo shop....can you make my tri Z in the picture the following colors:

Blue (wiht blue seat, blue tank cap, blue fork boots and blue radiator shrouds)

Black (white fenders just make the red parts black)

Gray (make the red parts grey)

Thanks!! Post the pics here!

I noticed that the 88 banshee was blue and white and thought if an 88 Z was produced it would be the same color. Just dreaming...

[Darius1502]

Oh here is the pic...http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114

[Dammit!]

I'll give it a shot sometime soon. Not sure if I'll have a chance tonight.

[Darius1502]

Yeah I know its alot of work. Whenever you have time man. Have some fun...its Friday night!!

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

Do you have a sample of the colors you want? Or do you not need it that specific?

[Darius1502]

No not specific. I just want to see differnet colors on it.

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

Heres a quick job on the stuff I understood.. I dont know what you mean when you say "make the red parts black" and then you say "make the red parts grey".. What exactly do you want colored differently? (and what color). Once you give me some good details on what you want I will clean it up and do everything.

[Darius1502]

That looks great. I want to see what it will look like in 3 color schemes:

blue,

black

grey.

There should be 3 pictures...one with the Z blue and white, one with it black and white and the last grey and white.

I was just considering a Z project...

[RideRed250R]

black and grey would look the best
either one
blue i dont like

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

Alright,, I'm sitting down to list a bunch of crap on ebay, I'll get another done.

Edit: I messed with the other schemes you asked for also but they weren't coming out anywhere near as nice as this so I didn't pursue them any further. This looks freakin' hot though. I like it.

[TrikerR]

DUDE...THATS BEAUTIFUL...darius, if you redid your Z that colour, you would be a LEGEND.

[Kintore]

That Z is amazing. TrikerR is right you would become a legend/hero for me.

Do it, make a Z that colour scheme!

[Oldshell4481]

thats killer

[Dammit!]

I had to make another one. :D

I had a color scheme picked out for how I wanted to do the Z I will eventually get but this has me seriously reconsidering.

[Oldshell4481]

so the gold rims... is that a wanna be 250R

[Dammit!]

Gold rims were stock on all Z's except the '85 1/2 model.

[Oldshell4481]

lol i know my three wheeler history(sarcastic), sorry lol

[Dammit!]

Heh, I just thought the black and white scheme looked a little better without the gold.

[honda200]

my 85 and a half has a gold front rim, but aftermarket steelie rear rims

[Dammit!]

That sure looks like an '86 Z to me...

[Darius1502]

Thats a great color scheme dammit!! Good job man. I would not do that to my Z...but if I get another 86 I would do it.

I had an idea like that for quite a while. You just confirmed my suspicious....very nice color scheme.

Thanks man...hOpe it did not take you too much time!!

[Darius1502]

I would go lighter on the fork boots and stick to the gold rims!!

That is a 86 Z. :rolleyes:

[Darius1502]

Dammit....Awesome job.

Can you do me another favor and make few adjustments so I can see the dream Z was I trying to build?

Ok...here goes:

1) Make the fork boots a lighter gray (like this color):
http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/exp-12126.jpg

2) Make the Seat black and grey (like this): http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/b5/00/36_1_b.JPG

3) Leave the headlight black

4) Make the frame black near the radiator shrouds and airbox cap...then fade it into white right where the fenders start and where the airbox cap ends

5) Put the gold rims back on

6) Make the 'Z' on the Tri Z logo on the fenders...gold.

7) Make the rear grab bar gold.

Thats my dream Z color...thanks for making it a reality!!

[diggerzmound]

That Z is amazing. TrikerR is right you would become a legend/hero for me.

Do it, make a Z that colour scheme!

Better Huury, cause that is what mine is gonna look like!!!! I only have to put it together, guess my frame is black... Got White maiers, black headlight and air cover... Just need to get some black side scoops..

[threewheelin-feelin]

i like the orange and and black look the best

[Darius1502]

go ahead and do it. I like the original look myself. I am a collector.

threewheelin-feeling: I am not trying to make my Z like an R. I have an R:http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6317

I like the Z because it feels totally different when riding. Its not better or worse just different!

[Dammit!]

When I get time I can do most of that. Not sure about the two tone seat.

[honda200]

I will get a picture of the VIN tag up tommorow night for all yea, it clearly says

9/85

9th month of the year 1985

1985 and a half in my books

CurtisWhat ever floats your boat. :rolleyes:

[honda200]

dude, please dont call me a liar, i know you aint comin right out and saying it, but please just let me have my peice of mind and call it an 85 1/2, or if it really annoys you, i will just call it an 86, ok??

Curtis

[Dammit!]

My 1986 R has a manufacture date of June 1985. That's very common dude. Most model years are produced the year before they are sold.

Edit: and EVERY 1985 1/2 I have ever seen in my life was black and red with polished wheels.

Edit 2: Is it a 6 speed? If it is then at the very very least it's a 1986 motor in a 1985 chassis that someone changed the plastics on. Everything prior to 1986 was 5 speed.

[honda200]

6 speed, the bigger fork diameter, its all 86 stuff, but the VIN number says 9/85
so, i will just call it an 86 from now on ;)

Curtis

[Darius1502]

My R has a build date of June 1985....

Dammit our R's could be sisters!!

I'll put my vin up here one of these days....they could both have been on the assembly line together!!

[Dammit!]

Curtis

It is without a doubt a 1986 if it has all that stuff. Be happy. The VIN is just telling you when it was built. :cool:

[Darius1502]

Who here thinks the black and white Z is the finest looking machine they have ever seen?


In one word: AWESOME....now if it only existed!

[Dammit!]

It would be easy to do. Paint the frame and mix and match the plastics from a 85 1/2 and 86 and you're done.

[Darius1502]

I know...very very cool idea. The silver rims are easy too: YZF rear rims and tires, 85 front rim.

Awesome...maybe one day long after I solve the troubles with this Z...I'll want another...right now...I like R's...ha ha!!

[wanta86r]

darius - post more pics of that R, It is so sweet it makes me wanna cry

[Darius1502]

The R is nice and I love it. I still favor the looks of my 86 Z...but right now I am sour at it since it does not run...

[Dammit!]

That thing is just sick...

You really need a beater though. You'll learn more from having a trike you can beat on relentlessly. The more often you break it, the more you have to fix it, the more you learn. :D

[Darius1502]

The more often you ride it the more often you fix it. Yeah I know....i rode that R once and probably will ride it only 2 times per years.

I do need a beater...you are right.

[AZ250R]

The R is nice and I love it.
I think I see something wrong with it though. However if I'm remembering right you've replaced some stuff since these photos. Did you get a "STRAIGHT" swinger skid plate for it? :p
Like its ever gonna hit anything again... :rolleyes:

[Darius1502]

I did change some stuff. The brake line was faded yellow so I got a new one.

Other than that I don't care anymore. Its a mint as I can stand it to be. Too much and its a burden to actually ride around because you see things wear.

I am done...now I must fix my lovely Tri Z!!

Engine should be done this week...

Gonna send the seat off for the Black-Grey cover!!

[Darius1502]

Good job....cant wait to see it done!!!

[Mr. Sandman]

My 1986 R has a manufacture date of June 1985. That's very common dude. Most model years are produced the year before they are sold.
Very common indeed, my 85 R has a build date of July 1984 and it's definitely not an 84 or an 84 1/2.

[diggerzmound]

You know your forks are backwards?. :confused:

They were backwards.. LOL Good eye, and thanks!!!!!

[86250RZ]

June must have been a high production month, my 86R is also dated June of 85 :cool:
