    Super Zinger - AKA Tri-Zinger on Roids

    This was a YT175. I always thought it was weird that the YT125 and 175 models were so long with the motor all the way in the back. I realize that Honda had some kind of patent on motor placement and that is why they are the way they are.

    I have had this pipe dream ever since I got this machine, and after picking up a set of Zinger plastics over the weekend - I decided it was time. Only took about 2 hours.

    This thing rips. Keep in mind i have a 125 top end on it now - but have the 175 top end to bolt on some day. I know Louis Mielke is gonna hate me for doing this, but in reality - it could be un-done with pretty minimal effort.

    Basically this is a SUPER zinger.

    Enjoy the pictures.










    BTW - here is was before the change:

    Hey Matt - that is my plan - ATC70 wheels and tires all around. That is a 70 wheel and tire up front. Zinger tires looked too small. And the rears i have on it now look too big. I wish I could narrow the front forks - but I want this to be all stock YT parts except zinger fenders so I will just live with it as is.

    Also - I got caught up in the moment building this - but will have your list together tonight buddy!
