Our “new” YZ80 three wheeler

[LonesomeTriZ]

I cannot wait to see my son’s face when this arrives. I hope I am home when it does. I was planning on building him one, but not being home makes it tough. So thanks to the watchful eye of a fellow triker and the kind heart of another fellow triker that picked it up for us we now have a nice addition to the family. Now if I can just find a way to get it from Oregon to Georgia. :wondering

[factoryX]

lol tires are huge for a 80cc motor. where in oregon did you find this?

[LonesomeTriZ]

Stealthduner over on .org found it on criagslist. I was also wondering about the tires.

[Vealmonkey]

I saw the pics on that. What a unique and sweet machine.

[LonesomeTriZ]

My son already scares us on his Zinger, I can only imagine how he will ride this thing.

[Fox250R]

Lets see some vids :)

[factoryX]

this is a wierd bike. crate is your best bet, or a nice little road trip to the west coast. lol then you could put those sand tires to use at the dunes...

[LonesomeTriZ]

Video may be a tall order right now.

Man, I would love to drive out there and do some wheeling. That is not possible considering the short R&R's I get.

[factoryX]

that blows....crate can be spendy, but I think it will be cheap for that bike being that it is small. Smaller tires should make this thing rip...

[LonesomeTriZ]

We have a shipper that can haul it with out crating. But I am going to try the 3ww netwroking system and see how close I can get it before I call him.

[Orangecnty250r]

Congrats, I fell in love with that machine the first picture I saw of it!!!!

[LonesomeTriZ]

The ad claimed it was a store bought conversion. That has to be rare.

[firehart]

That's Sweet!

[LonesomeTriZ]

I wonder if my four year old will allow me to ride it.

[firehart]

It too bad my brother in Arkansas is not coming out this way for my dad's birthday. I could have talked him into hauling it back.

[LonesomeTriZ]

That would get it a lot closer. I plan to post a seperate thread about the shipping.

[Orangecnty250r]

Yes Ive seen plenty of ads in the old mags about converting the different mx bikes and all ive really seen up to this point are the kx conversions.
Theres got to be more "different" conversions out there. I'd love to see an aftermarket RM preferably 86 with the blue motor conversion.

[cr480r]

lol tires are huge for a 80cc motor.

I bet it will do ok with them.. Skate 1's work well on low powered machines.. On a light machine with a light rider and proper gearing it shouldn't be a problem... I see alot of blasters using them...

When I get home I will see if I can locate a manufactures name some where on the conversion parts.

That is a good point. I had a set a while back on my Blaster. They were pretty light.

[brrcuda]

those old yz 80's had a nice mid range on em. The kit looks very tight and professional. mech. drums in the back, nada upfront. hold on... :D

flat tracks would looks sweet in the rear:beer pretty cool.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I was wondering if I could get a Tri-Z front brake assembly on there.

[fabiodriven]

I was wondering if I could get a Tri-Z front brake assembly on there.

Or maybe a little tiny rotor from a first gen R...

Looks nice Lonesome.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Thanks. I do not know much about Honda parts. I have a crap load of Tri-Z stuff. If I can find nothing it the pile-o-Z I will look into that idea.

[SeaBass8]

Nice looking conversion for sure. More pics will be required! :beer

[LonesomeTriZ]

When it gets home there will be.

[Kintore]

That thing is BADASS!

talk about a perfect lil pitbike to go flyin around on!

[LonesomeTriZ]

It is for my four year old to fly around on. Maybe I should wait until he is at least six.

[factoryX]

the scat tracks are okay, but not for trail riding obviously.

[Twilight]

Your lucky, I was trying to pick that up for my lil bro, but the guy told me someone else was very interested.

snooze ya lose i guess

[KASEY]

if that is a A+ conversion. there will be a A+ logo on the top tripple clamp,,, that is the most awesome kick but mini i have ever seen too,,,,,,,,,, i have a set of 18-9.50-8 paddle tires on one of my minis they work great 5 paddles too,,,, i went everywhere in the dunes with them,,,

Your son is a very lucky little one - I imagine you being nothing but an awesome father to get him that sweet little machine. I hope you both share some great memories together with it!

Much respect.

[Bryan Raffa]

:beer got a nice piece there .... Keep that Raggg looking good! that dirt bike was my era... rode many of them bikes..really glad you got it!

[LonesomeTriZ]

Thanks you all. I was lucky to know such great fellow trikers. If it was not for them some one else (sorry Twilight) would have gotten it. Being since I am still in Iraq, I have missed out on a lot of things I wanted to get. I guess I am going to have to get an 86 Z going so we match out on the trails.

[SYKO]

COOL!! Im glad you got it....now you own a yamaha that actualy may be worth a Fock now....lol pm JASON (longbedgts) ya know my neighbor jason, hes a long haul trucker... maybe some how it can be dissasembled and tossed into his cab... hes over that way here and there. pm me if you need his cell phone number.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I talk to Jason all the time. Go ahead and send his number to Melissa. Maybe she can work a deal with him.

Chase doesnt know this is his and everytime he sees the pictures he asks if Daddy is getting this for him. If it gets here before you do it will be hidden until you come home to pull it out and see the reaction first hand.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Good, that is part of the reason I wanted to get it.

[Red Rider]

YAMA-MAMA I like your avatar. I always loved that picture of the '85 Tri-Z on the brochure cover.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Hey, are you hitting on my woman? That is $9.95 an hour buddy.

[Red Rider]

Damn, I knew I should have done the flirting via PM.

Louis actually helped me find that one. Unfortunately with keeping with the little one while hes riding my ride doesnt get very muddy.........unless Louis has roosted me or sunk my ride.............hmmmmmmmmmmm

[SYKO]

oh no its ok, there about being open relationship im done any way.... she's loosing the onion so im not as interested any more:D

[LonesomeTriZ]

She has made that claim for a few years now. Don't believe it.

[YAMA-MAMA]

She has made that claim for a few years now. Don't believe it.

Alans got pictures from the last time you rode my warrior, sitting in the water..............That poor quad took alot from you:(

[LonesomeTriZ]

We were reffering to losing your sister booty. Try to keep up.

[Macs]

Is there an update on this? did you finally get it home? Ride report? Close up pics? How is your son enjoying it? This is one of the coolest trikes i have ever seen and want to hear the details.

[dcreel]

I would like to hear more about this as well. I also would like some more pictures. Please?

[Bryan Raffa]

in-case you didnt know I love yamaha's also..:Bounce :pics: :pics: :pics: :pics:

[Macs]
