[slothminx]

Its finally back together afetr 4 months of being torn apart, Started after 7 kicks!. So much work has gone into it, its nice that it started so easily.

Couple of guys to say thanks too:

Moshman355-seat cover
Oldschoolin86-few parts here and there and lots of encouragement
Mike- For being a pain in the ass! and making want to prove Z's own
Howdy-spent time matching my broken coil to another from in his shop:beer
Kintore- for making me get on with it! he was always there pushing me to get her done.
And other guys too!


Still got a few things to do, Carrier possibly new bearings and painting. New Razr tires(when $$ allows),new grabber, and new rear plastics.

Im so please to have it back together now All I got to do now is take her for a spin!:beer :beer

Nice Z will, glad you finally got her done. All those pics are now saved to my computer.
Now when you come over in august, we ride. I got enough Z's to go around LOL!

Love the pics man, fenders and tires. Fenders and tires. Thats all I gotta say.
Zing!

Looks good Will! That seat cover really came out good as well. What did you use to paint your engine?

[slothminx]

Satin black can paint, I prepped it real good and keyed the surface with 400 grit paper and degreased and voila.

Thanks guys :)

[Mosh]

looks good.it is always nice to get em back together and see the finished product.another z reborn.

[twgranger]

looks great!!! all you need is some rear fenders and tires and youll be set. What kind of fork boots are them?

[slothminx]

The boots are Pro-grip ones I dont know much other about them apart from there the smallest diameter they do. I got them from my local yamaha dealer.

Thanks! I just got to add some aftermarket jazz on her now :). I got an answer silencer on its way too.

[Yamahauler]

That looks awesome Will! Great job, now get rid of those god awful tires!

[nouseforaname90]

LOL.. yeah. Those wooley boogers look ok on my SX utility trike, but they just don't look right on a sport trike. Get yourself some nice low profile racing tires and you'll have a very nice trike on your hands.

[Bryan Raffa]

verry nice! I got my 86 in pices in the driveway right now puting heavy duty springs and new plates in the clutch, right on!!!!!!!

[staceyl200]

[Mike_Ham_250R]

OK Job. That trike looks kinda alright.

[Maine_Triker]

OMG Will that looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get some tires and she'll look perfect!

[Yamahauler]

Yah Josh, You were right haha.

Took her for a little spin today.... when the power hits it feels like being hit by a truck in the rear!. I always heard the Z's had a powerband that rolled in smooth.....


I hope to work in a dealer of some kind, I love wrenching on stuff and being paid to do it would be awesome :)

[85ytz250n]

Nice Z, hopefully mine will be half that nice when i finish it.

[petesatc]

Pete

[slothminx]

[Dammit!]

Compared to a Tecate or 250R, they do.
