jmurray ZB update Dec

Well after a year of the ZB and I being broke up and her cheating on me with E (E she did say you are a better lover than me) . Were back together. Working on getting her put back together and ordering a ton of little parts. The wife just loves that Im doing this in the house. lol. I told her that ill do it in the garage if she lets me put in a shop heater but it didnt work. Plans for her in the next couple of months are a +R head, anodizing, and a few parts from over the pond. The dog decided to chew my brand new handlebar ends and grip so I ordered new grips but if anyone has any bar ends that will fit the takegawa bars please pm me. Cant wait to try out the takegawa 5 speed.

if anyone has any bar ends that will fit the takegawa bars please pm me.

Here she is as she sits today. Waiting on carb and alittle wiring. Ill update as she goes back together.

Re: jmurray ZB update Dec

i was just a sugar daddy buying her all the nice things. ohlins, over, g-craft and takegawa.
you work fast dude.

since you can probably switch it out pretty fast with where you work, swap the front tire with the rear. it'll likely sit better that way.

anodize all the parts. it'll look pretty sick.

if you sell the head off the motor let me know.

So that's where the bling ZB went. Good to see you two back together.

I think I have the black anodized G-Craft reservior and kick stand sitting in my garage

lol.

Motor is a 106 5-speed takegawa motor. Wanting to jump to a 124+R or just +R or put this in the CT. Thing with this bike is I change what im doing to it about every 5 mins. Moding will never end. I have had this bike for about a week and have already bought parts and changed the parts I bought. When this bike is around I will be broke forever.

I really like them. Only thing is when we order around here it takes about 30 days to get stuff. If I cant find anyone with anything I think that will be my number 1 choice.

I think a lot of us DO want ZBs! They look more fun than my Buell. Plus I'd probably get in a lot less trouble!

If only Honda would remake these for us, add FI, and bring them to the states! Everybody claims to want to go green, reduce our dependency on oil, and all that trendy, hippy ****, but nobody wants to do anything about it. I'm anti-green and anti-hippy, but I'd ride the hell out of one of these gas sippers!

black out the swinger, triples, rear sets and clutch cover. It'll look damn good.

Funny about the garage thing. That's why it's in yours now.

Any more updated pics?

Haha I most certainly do what a ZB!! Much more efficent on gas which means more money for mods... It all equals out. Now i proboly couldnt have such a blinged out one as yours but hey, one can dream! haha But I think if you started blacking bits and peices out it would look really good man
