That might be the guy I bought the bike from. I mentioned your name and he (bryan) said he remembered talking to you a few years back. He has another ZB thats in pretty good condition with a 107cc bbk (he's in SSF) and has all the parts for the black/grey G-Craft Monkey minus the frame.
 
urgh. I'm tryin guys!!!

I'd rather have a ZB than any other mini, so that's my primary focus now. I've got three potentials right now, all in various states of disrepair.
 
One is on fleabay. It's pretty clearly in the best shape, too.
 
NSF100 and XR100 Motard's both use the 6 spokes at the moment.
 
When I first laid my eyes on that ad......I had a feeling you would buy it.

Another project.....the TSX....

Haha! How's it going man? The new place still treating you good?

Your name actually came up in a conversation I had with Bryan (about YSR's/trackdays). Mods for the TSX will be on hold until next year. It's probably just going to receive new paint on the bumper, suspension, and some BBS LM's.
 
Just got off the phone with the powder coater and he said the frame won't be ready until Monday :mad There goes my plan to have most of the bike together this weekend.
 
You must have seen the new Honda Tuning...right?

Funny, I was talking to my wife this morning about just trackdays (big and small) also. My plans for next year look promising...
 
I know which issue you're talking about but I haven't looked at it. I've seen those two cars on Honda-Tech.

I might bring the ZB out to Stockton for a practice if I have the balls (too paranoid of crashing it).
 
Finally some more updates on the ZB. Got the frame back from the powdercoater on Monday. The frame came out pretty good. Picked a black semi-gloss finish.

On Wednesday, I dropped the seat off to get it rewrapped (in blue vinyl) and the new NSR wheels to get the tires mounted. Picked both of them back up on yesterday and got to work reassembling the bike. So here's how it sits as of today.

Got lucky on the oil cooler position. It's bolted to the electronics bracket and has about 1mm of clearance from the bottom triple clamp and the steering lock. I'll probably work on mounting the exhaust and wire up the motor later on tonight.


Things still left on the 'to do' list: POR-15 the tank, body work, and mounting the controls/tach.
 
Lookin good. I went 0-for-3 on the potential ZBs I had lined up. I think I'll just keep the friggin Dax :D
 
Looks real good Pete! Keep us posted. I will be curious how your rear brakes work....

I hope they work a little :p I do need to pick up a rear banjo bolt for the caliper since it didn't come with one.
