tmas.... ZB update
Just want to show you guys what my ZB is looking like these days.No more GPX. The motor is a Takegawa 106 cc 5 speed that I bought from Jon Cook (blank) thanks to Z. I love this motor just have to bump start it all the time but I am getting used to it. 70 mph is nice.

Five speed gears are thin and you don't want to kick it over at TDC you risk shattering first gear.

Thanks Morgan...No thermostat.
I have a Takegawa cable driven tachometer which will go on next. Very nice piece. I got it off Mr. Cook.

Hi Shapeshifter....Takegawa bars. I really like them.
70 mph is nice....It is so nice to have the fifth gear. So nice to be doing 60 plus mph and you drop it into another gear.

tmas,
You've got one nice bike there. What are those forks on the front? What triple are you running also? Dan has helped me out a bunch too, good guy.

That is a sweet ride! I have never sat on a ZB before I am not sure I would fit on one, but I would love to rock that ride...

Hi HymieP...... 30 mm NSR50 forks reworked by Ray at RJP racing. He does the best work. The way the forks come they are way to soft. He worked them for bigger guys.I polished the lower fork legs myself.
G Craft triples. Has the mount for the steering lock. Dan and Brad (Motoshop Z) helped me out with mostly everything. Great guys to deal with.
