NRC,
Nice bike. Got more pics? I'd like to see some shots of how you mounted the top stabilizer.
Thanks,

Been over a year since I worked on my Bike or visited this website.

But i have started to work on the project again.

I have taper bearings ordered and an acewell Speedo in the mail.
Also shaved the emblems off the tank and need to fix a few remaining dings.

I ran across and issue tonight. What have some of you guys used for throttle cables? stock kz throttle cables are pooched, But Im not sure how I would fasten them to the 636 twist throttle anyhow
Any insight and pictures would be great.

Steem Bearings from Z1 on their way

Been a Year since Ive been on here.

Got a Box of Goodies being shipped from Z1 as well as some loose end items

form Z1:
530 x-ring Chain
42t JTR488 Rear sprocket (to fit 636 rear rim)
throttle Cables
Cable Lube Tool

from others:
3/8 os 530 17t front sprocket
Motion Pro Throttle

Updates:
Got the Mono Shock mount Redesigned and welded up. I didnt like the way it was originally done by me.
Got a line on some Free Powder Coating as long as I do the prep work. Red frame, Flat Black tank and covers.

I will take some photo's as i know everyone here loves them.

Recieved all my goodies but have to send back the 530 chain (to short) and the throttle cables(not compatible with the motion pro throttle).

Re-wired the bike up to get it started (been 2 years since it has run and 20+ prior to that).

Guess what....Gas leaking from carbs 3 & 4 before I got a chance to turn it over.

Ordered 4 carb repair kits, and thought I might as well grab an electronic ignition. So I am waiting on those things.

I still don't know how I'm going to solve the kick start issue I have. The rear sets are in the way and I would love to salvage the use of the kick start. I was thinking maybe eliminate the rear brake pedal all together and run a small lever on the bars like a stunt bike.

Carbs are rebuilt and it fired right up. It was started up 2 years ago in the past 20+.
didnt run it long as i need to fine tune the carbs.

it lives! :evil:
