O shit, what have I done!!

[Supercharger_Mark]

I brought this.
3226
and want to turn it into something like this
3227
but so far the only thing salvageable is the motor, back wheel, swing arm, front hub and electrics (I think).
I’m going to attempt to rebuild the frame which is ?(well its fucked) so I’m in unfamiliar territory with that.
I'm putting Wiseco 1015cc piston kit in and cleaning up the ports,
and to get to the point, I’m after a set of carbs 34mm in good condition off a GSXR 1052 86,87,88 if anyone has a set feel free to donate or give me a price.
And so it begins.

Cheers
Mark.

or the same one off gumtree for $1200?

[BANDITROD]

1015cc in a 900 barrel makes the liners very thin and they can distort or crack depending on how hard you rev/ride it.

a budget bigbore option would be to find a cheap gpz1100 barrel and use the liners in your 900 barrel and rebore for aftermarket pistons.

doing it this way you can have a ready to go barrel for the same cost of a new set of liners which are about $300USD landed.

I think you can even use gsx/efe 1100 liners as well from memory, will get the exact details for you when I see the mechanic next week.

[Supercharger_Mark]

Thanks EFE that’s great advice but it will have to be down the track as I’m still getting over the potential cost just to get it on the road, so for the moment its already been bored to 70mm dia and still has the cross hatchings so all its getting is a hone, the liners are 2mm thick, yes not too thick, but I only ride like a pussy anyway.

[EFE 1230]

I've just been through it all with my Z mota.

if your carbs have got a big single nut on the bottom of the float bowls people will pay good money for them, enough to get yourself a set of flatslides/smoothbores.

[Supercharger_Mark]

Yes I have but there off an original Z1 I had a long time ago, this bike is a Z1A but no nut on the bottom, What sort of money we talkin???.

[EFE 1230]

if they move freely $500 minimum.

[Supercharger_Mark]

Fuck I'd better get the WD out.

[EFE 1230]

I've had some Z bits on egay and get people messaging me wanting parts I don't have, like tanks,'76 kph speedo's and those fuckin Z1 carbs!

well I have all of them but need them for future projects.................

[EFE 1230]

still waiting to see the pic of what ya want it to look like......................

[BANDITROD]

here ya go efe
3229

[EFE 1230]

nice

[RevHead]

links still dont work ,oh well ,never mind!

[ozzy1100]

that is nice rod. A good new age clasic muscle bike, this is the sort of bike I love. Not cheep but at under prob 25k to build properly and mostly yourself thats a hot bike. Simple zrx 1100 swing arm and looks like 90's cbr rims but myself I would have used some newer right way up forks and brakes than the after market ones at the front. Then used the money somewhere else cause on these bikes there is always somewhere else to spend money. Isnt that right efe , simon and a few others in these parts :-)
Any one remeber I think livewire kat at afr 09........so nice so much money and time.......mmnnnn i want
or more real world the two bikes that turned up at afr 10 out of the blue and then left after a few beers and a bo peep
A z9 like the bike above but more hard core street bike usd forks, big rims, low and mean with a ferrel rear mount turbo and injected(altronic) motor
The 2nd bike was the gzr 900r with a standard zx12r motor flat alpine white paint but right way up forks and only mild rims. the rest was finished in flat black and made to look standard and that most bike people just walk past. went like stink started every time and nothing to do but ride hassel free 165 plus rwh in a old sckool sports bike of the late 80's and erly 90's.
three of the best bikes I like and with the moto max original fighter I think real bikes should be all about :-)

[EFE 1230]

nope that's not a Z, it's a zephyr.

[ozzy1100]

is that bike a 90's zephyr with a few older z bits (side panels, seat and tail) ??????????????

[ozzy1100]

you beat me efe lol but i still dont think the tail and side panels are 750 zephyr tail could be zephyr 1100 or 9 but those side panel def look 9 ? ....I think ?

[Hagarr]
