Owned almost every Honda made , a few Kawasaki and a 225dr. I started acumulating Yamaha models last year(2 wheel and 4 wheel) and wanted a nice cruser for the sand so this is what I got.
Bought it from another member who just rebuilt the motor and a few other parts. It still needs a few small things but is a good rider as sits. I cant believe how comfy this trike is. Anyway what you all think??

Just don't ride near any Tecates and people will probably think it's fast.:lol:

I know, I'm a jerk. Just kidding, looks sweet!

Bring it, Deepa. Any time you're ready! Bring 'em both to the next ride so i can get 'em both out of the way on the same day. I'm a busy guy you know...

Thaks for all the comments. Rob where does the front chain slider go?(I"m new to zs) Bryan good eye the shrouds are painted.
It runs good but a little fat . When the temps get a little closer to the 70 deg mark it goes to the feild for testing and tuning, Ed maybe then you could go over it with me a little better , you have a better eye for detail on this than I do.
Yes I'm well aware these arn't the fastest 2 stroke. I do have a few other machines for speed. This is my cruiser , may be next winter it will get some motor goodeis.;)

The front slider is missing near the swinger Bolt.
There is 2 holes to bolt it on.
Yamaha is the only place to get one.

But shortly,I am going to try a Banshee UPP slider on the Z. I am pretty sure they will fit. Just have to make sure.

I don't have to worry. I don't own one no more. What was Honda thinking????

They must of had a Yamaha insider working with them on the design of the frame. Probably the same guy that was responsible for the faulty foot pegs on the Z.shens shens shens

This is all in fun.

Apparently Honda wasn't good enough for EDOG either, he sold everyone he ever owned :rolleyes:



Nice Z Itrike.... I certainly have a new found respect for them since I've done some work on Deepa's.
