90% Z

[ATC-Eric]

Here is the progress of the Tri-Z. It is 90% done. I had my first successful ride on it last weekend, it rocked! Still a little tuning to do, for the most part, it was great. The Z performed just awesome!

The bike still needs a little bit of polishing, a skid plate, and some tuning of course.

I thank all of the members of the board who have helped me gather parts, and given advice to help me acheive this. I am very proud of the results, thank you members of 3WW.

Two replys about the old headlight? I am starting to think you guys are serious?


I was planning to get the Kawasaki factory lights that are a stock match with the Z, but have since thought I might leave the shell empty. I think it looks mean like that. Probably pick them up just incase the night interfers with my fun.

Thank you for the offer, but I think the black to yellow ratio on this bike is just right. For the heck of it, would you pm me a couple pics? I might just take you up on that.....

Thats impressive. One killer looking Z. Keep up the good work. Glenn O

[Rm250RF900R]

Nice video man. Your lucky that Z didnt go over :lol:

[WIkid500]

WOW nice bike man! looking so nice, and new!

[ATC-Eric]

Thank you everyone once again for your comments! :beer




hopefully mine will be like that this spring

You have the workings of one serious Z on your hands. :beer It already looks beautiful! Good work, and good luck!




Nice video man. Your lucky that Z didnt go over :lol:


I would have absolutely freaked! Needless to say I am a little more careful now. I barely had any ride time in on this bike muchless one of this caliber before I tore into him (the Z is a boy). Now I have to teach myself how to safely rip it.

[oldsking86]

Great vid man, love seeing trike vids :w00t:

For safety I recommed a little stretch, nothing like mine but a tad that way you can really stomp on the bikes and not have fears of lifting.. that and like the R with the extenders, it's a freaking must! lol

[twgranger]

why cant i watch the vid?

[edog]

Thanks for the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ATC-Eric]

I am going to at least get an extended axle for stability. Those 22's really throw you around on the flats. I might work to a bigger swinger, and maybe some different tires/wheels. We will see.

Im going out of town on Friday, so I wont be able to get the Z out again till January :cry:

Hang tight, next time I ride I will get some good vids of it tearin it up :w00t:

If anyone can make it to St. Joe Missouri in early January, hit me up! The more the merrier!!!!!!



why cant i watch the vid?


Give this a try
