might end up a bit sticky but soon to be shiped off to scotty lol
just have to wait till i can aford to send to frame strightener but when it gets back the build can fianly start proper
not just mock up etc i have a clear idea of what i want it to end up like now and its time to start
if im not to lazy i might doc a bit of this build in more detail because it is going to be a full eng rego bike that will be very close to nothing they can do me on(always something if they so wish)
i havent filled out the right forms as yet and dealing with the dep of transport is like pulling hairs out yr arse but russ has done a lot of leg work for me but there is a form or two that u fill out to see if they will let you rego the bike. Now as i have said i have not entered these forms but the first thing we did was talk to the enginer about every thing i had planed.
this is the plan one zephyr zr 1100
upgrade front to zx14r usd forks and brakes
upgrade swing arm to zrx 1200 and brakes
upgrade rims to gen one busa rims and disks
replace zr 1100 motor with a gpz 1100 unitrac motor etc
all of this is fairly stright forward to get a mod plate some of it do not even need a mod plate
by the look of it it comes down to the way you word things not bullshitting and not being silly,
there is a check list they have on the net (Lo7 checklist) and things like spacing, size and type etc on lights ,the 45 dec on rear fenders etc and as boring as it is looks like if i follow their rules on shit like that and play ball i should have no prob on getting it tho and coppers leaving me alone
there is the f1854 form as well thats needs to be filled out but like i said dont talk to the transport get the forms and talk to the enginer that will do the mod plate for you
this is the lines of the bike i got my idea from and with a shit photo cop with the gpz motor

i want a better finish to the end bike but i want a rider not a show bike so i would like it somewhere between the above bike and this bulldock zr 1100

and in this style colour of bulldock zr 750

i intend to use this bike as my every day bike, drag and track and need it to be able to do longer trips, hopefully
i end up with some thing close out of a rare bike that is much forgoten and as isnt considered a classic a much forgoten bike.
That's going to be a real nice thing mate.
Hope so mate but hard thing now will keeping the cash up to it
And still being slower than you and stif on those Suzy things but we
will see lol
Should be a real interesting bike.
Only give away to its origin would be the tell-tale shape of
the frame behind the motor, but most folk wouldnt have a clue.
Always loved the Zephyr and Big old Zed shape and lines.
spot on tony most most people just take it as classic zed and in pics the frame is the give away
but when u look at them in the flesh they are a lot bigger than the z1's etc (tank, hight etc )
and you in pommy land got a lot more of them then we did here in oz i have heard numbers of only 200 + sold here
apart from zee germans the uk sold the most well if u dont count the japs they made the fucking things from late 1990 to 2007
almost unchanged............17 fucking yrs
Good on yer mate that looks as if it's going to be a bit of a stoater. Aircooled's the new turbo doncha know ;)
i always wanted to be one of the kool kids lolQuote:

btw i didnt state what tune i was going to use, at 1st scotty was talking about useing the old 1463 block and kit he had sitting round and with the right head and cams would have riden as nice but gorilla blocks do suffer from heat bad(they kind of like sub 10 sec runs lol you should see the 1560 billet block he had there fuck yer...) . He had a think about it and would prob go 1170 over bore useing mtc pistons(about biggest before liners and a great smaller motor) but remembered he had a full 1230 mtc liner and piston kit on the self in 18 mm(last of the gpz motors and biggest rods they used but not many around rest are 17 mm wirst pin) that some 1 ordered and never picked up so offered it me at the right price so 1230 mtc forged it is then
apart from that its a stright forward rebuild. depends on how good this crank is there will be very little prep needed as im not spining it past 9500 10 000 rpm . the head will get full rebuild k liners s/svalve etc and some mild port work. the gear box will be back cut some clucth work and a few bits and pieces with oil pick up and pump that scotty says work with this combo and not much else prob use a 19 row oil cooler and oil thermostat . spark will be dyna 2000 and fuel looks like btween 38 and 40 mm rs's
and the outcome hopefully will net me close to 135 at the wheel but thats just a number this motor is being build to still pull from down low and be linear across the range to suit the way i like to ride at track days and on the street
Mate, I like the look of it. Hurry up and get it together
Haha...haaahaaaa....hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah ahahahaaha......'hurry up'....hahahahahahahaQuote:

LOL know absolutely what you mean. Sounds like we're thinking/building along similar lines. It woul be good to meet up and pit the two old bruisers against each other but I was told that it's not safe outside Victoria 😄
Ooooohhhh can i play too?????
i think geoff wants in on the act as well there but looks like there really is a resurgance of old skool and i love itQuote:

btw simon i know y u cant leave vic i know what that type motor from trex costs u cant aford to leave the street never loan the state lol
You're not wrong there mate fuckin expensive bit of work there but worth it in the end............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................I hope!
well at the local pub or cafe you will have the only one of its type mixed with the way they ride building them like we are fuck yer
its worth it lol
Yes , you can count me in, better get off my arse at some point and finish mine. With the turbo, 93 GSXR and Bedford builds all fighting it out for tool time it gets a bit hard. At least I can work o n the turbo at work when there is nothing else to do.
well thats 4 lol
mind u if livewire spets back into the seen with the injected full on drag motor thing we all fucked lol
I'll have to wind the boost up and see what happens. Apparently my turbo setup will run to 30psi (the motor won't-she go bang long before that) that would make life interesting :D
