Re: 1974 kz trike
09 Sep 2021 06:13Hey Shank! You ever get bored with the Trike???EJ Potter's Jet Trike in 1972Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s EJ Potter was known as “The Michigan Madman” because of his long line of “Widowmaker” motorcycles that were powered by V-8 car engines! He was quite the fabricator.
Hahaha and hey hey hey !!! Hows it going everybody? That thing is sweet Marty, Thank you for that.
Well My Business got swamped(still is) which is a good thing.My family, camping ,sports ,etc kicked my Arse, so my dearly loved trike has sat.I am about two weeks from starting back in on her, I feel I have a good week of cleaning and going back over all my "to do" list. I am hoping to get ready to set the cams, then load her up.Then promptly take her to where a cool old Kawasaki gear head, can oversee this rookie, so I don't screw the poodle. I have had several warnings from some kick butt members as to respect this step of assembly.

MARTY MY MAN !
I know you, and it was the one armed man that slipped you the bad brown acid!
I have been neck deep in my small business since the covid hit the world in the mouth!

I recently purchased the sweetness of an ARD mag from wheel hop, and then it lit a fire underway ass.
I reached out to a cool guy whose name rhymes with Jes Bolt, and plan on a trip to indiana in the next month to check out some turbo parts cause I'm all in turbo now, no matter what the hell I got to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to ride this trike doing wheelies wherever I go all summer long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kids don't see cool shit no more and the world is puckered up so tight nobody laughs I can't take it no more !!!!!!!!!!!!!! fun in the sun coming !!!!!!!!

Hey all I wanted to say Thanks to wheelhop, for this Gem.
Also there is a Garret turbo headed my way, followed by a vintage mr turbo plenum, and an electric fuel pump. ........... you see where I'm going?
I freakin dig the ARD mag & set up!

HaHa
I do intend on adding a chute and some "wheelie" bars.No belts though.
Since I have room to add an auxiliary oil tank.I am thinking of setting up the turbo to have its own oil source, separate from the engine.Does anyone see an issue with this? Seems I could put some Really good synthetic in the turbo, but I don't like them in my old bikes.I see issues with the wet clutch set up on the Z's and some of this synthetic oil for sure.
Turbo is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I have found a ceramic rebuild kit already so I may do a draw through or a blow through.We will see when I locate what goes where this weekend.
original condition of the old girl
