Pierce · 04-30-2009, 08:00 PM

Yeah at some point it will get a 124 kit, it has the 80 kit in it right now and it moves pretty good for around town.

Very cool classic look for sure. Nice work.

How did you mount your cooler?

HymieP · 05-06-2009, 09:10 PM

Very nice! Car and bike. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. I just love the look of those bikes. Congrats.

It is actually the Taky shock from the bike you and I helped part out. And it really works nice. Next will be to get Ray to work over my front end now that it is complete.

The car in the pic isn't mine it is a customers, unbelievably fast.

This bike will never be for sale as it is the best mini bike I have ever owned!

And the cooler is mounted, at the moment, with a pressure clamp I made myself. I will be taking the whole bike apart soon to get it painted and at that time all the extra tabs will be smoothed out and the extra mounts will be welded in place.

mikev · 05-07-2009, 08:55 AM

What kind of awful unfinished walls are those? Makes me sick, I tell you.

Oh I guess the bike is OK too

Do you find yourself wanting a different gauge? I keep thinking that about the ZB, wanting something with both a tach and a speedo, perhaps.

nielspbr · 05-07-2009, 11:35 AM

There is a takegawa(koso?) LCD speedo/tachometer that fits right in the original mounting place in the headlight bucket.
(I have one in my monkeyclone)

HymieP · 05-07-2009, 12:10 PM

Takegawa twin clocks (Analog) old school, they look amazing. Just got them and can't wait to hook 'em up.

Dammit I LOVE those.

But I'm broke.

bwise · 05-07-2009, 04:30 PM

looks good.

did the cases come stock like that on that bike (black) or did you get it PCed?

Pierce · 05-07-2009, 06:10 PM

Yes i want some different gauges but not sure what yet. I currently use a GPS Speedo on the velcro patch. The engine came black from honda.

mx214 · 05-07-2009, 06:15 PM

what kind of car is that in the background?

gstegman · 05-07-2009, 06:15 PM

Motoshop Z hooked me up with: ¥¹¡¼¥Ñ¡¼¥Þ¥ë¥ÁDN¥á¡¼¥¿¡¼X2¥¹¥Æ¡¼ÉÕ¥»¥Ã¥È for my XR100.

I like that I can keep the speedo drive and have MPH, temp, and it is designed to work without a battery.
