Havent posted any pics in a while---NOW With the 86 Z rebuild progress

[mike from long island]

So here you guys go. This is my 85 250r.Going to just tear it down,clean it up and reassemble it.HAve a few aftermarket parts for it as well.The 86 350x is my everyday,go anywhere bike.I bought this thing about 4+ years ago.All I have done is rebuild the forks,chain,sprockets,rebuild the carrier,new axle,tires all around,Then I bought a take out motor and installed it.Only because I sold the old motor for a good price.I Think the 350x is one of thebest all around bikes made!!! But ya gotta have a 2 banger to get a woody with!!:D

[dirtface]

Do you still have any of the Tri-z's?

[mike from long island]

Yes I have 2 still an 85 and 86.I am going to post pics of the progress of the 86.

Okay here is where I am.I wasnt going to post anything about this bike until it was done.But it is going to be a long going project.I have to thank Hagen for all the custom parts so far.I am gonna hit you up for more!! I have some parts just bolted on to see what else I need to order.I need lots of small OEM parts.The frame is powdercoated a Candy Apple Red.The +2 Westcoast swinger is a Pearl White.Everything else is just a Gloss Black.This bike started out as Trikeaholic's rebuild.The day I got the bike home I had no room to store it.So I tore it down to the frame and sold off all the parts I knew I was going to change.One part I did sell and am sorry I did was a 23 in front tire brand new.WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr Ill find another one.This is getting a bigbore from sprocks as well as one of his heads.Same as the clutch basket when he gets started on them.And anything else I can find or other members build,as I am building this bike.There wont be much more progress until I get all the small OEM parts in.Enjoy.Not sure I am going to use Hagen gas tank on the 86 or 85???

I like the way that Z is looking. Did they use a a regular silver base for that candy or does they use a sparkle silver?

I am not sure what the base coat was.I did not want any silver vein or anything like that.Just the candy apple red. Same as the Pearl white.

[Yamahondaman]

[mike from long island]

Sweet!! In the note you sent with the kit I bought you were missing a few things too.I have some duplicate parts from a few ebay purchases.I tell ya,It is some amazing pieces,even the little ones.They add so much quality to the finished product. What else do you have kicking around for the Tri-Z? I want to add as many of everyones custom parts as I can.

[oldsking86]

I like it my friend! That candy color is what I was probably going to go with..

haha oh yea Ron sure can get some serious bling action for bikes, A++ quality hands down!!

[Yamahondaman]

[Trikeaholic]

Orginally I had plan to make it all OEM.But I sold my Yellow Z.I thought we were going to be moving into an apartment.I had no storage.We didnt move there but to a house with 2 huge barns.SInce I sold most of the stock parts off as well,I was only left with all the cool aftermarket parts I wont part with!!I can still make another 86 stock looking with just a few mods.But I got another 85 Tri-Z from freakfix.I am building that to match my yellow tri-Zinger.

What do you have left for bikes??? You should change your name from trikeaholic to where the heck have you been!! Good to see you still post!! Later Mike

Dang I need to find anaother 23 myself.I am leaning towards doing a 250r front hub set up.There are more tires avaliable for the 250r front rim.I am glad I saved the swinger too.I also kept the LRD exhaust,the headlight lens guard,and a few other nice oem parts.

Good to see your still around Jeb.

[Bryan Raffa]
