the list goes on im sure there is more
is it a perfect bike .. no but its really nice i think
I cant do it all guys i tried and failed, i put boat loads of money into this and never use it, i wish i could its a blast. As most of you know, So maybe in a few years when the kids are older i can ride again, i sure hope, and i know ill regret selling, but i need more space for the other toys.
im open to reasonable offers, i wont part it out.
If no one wants it i guess I can just hide it from the wife for the next 5 years >_>
Well restored zillas i saw in NE people were asking 5k, that sounds steep, i tossed it up on craigslist for 4k, that may be expensive but im willing to wheel and deal on HQ. no i wont take 2500 for it, before someone tosses that out, i would keep it for that kinda money, its worth that in lawn art.
I just saw this on C-list last night! Cant beleive your selling it already... Nice bike!
nice bike, looks like everything was done right.. good luck
Steel case inserts and carl cut the squish forgot to say that
Does it come with rear fenders?
Sorry no rears they were toast so I tossed them. I also have a few origional pics of what it started as if anyone wants to see lol
Any extras come with it? Where you located? How aggressive is the port work? What bore is it on?
Yeah you should post the before pics that would be cool
LOL u sold me the cylinder! Carl said it was decent port work. Had some room for imporvement but I like it personally think it's great for my riding ( field and trail) not tooo peaky. It was stock bore and we bored once for when the ears were welded. So should have atleast 3-4 bores left???
I sold you the cylinder? Did Carl cut the dome as well or is it just a pro design dome?
Yes u sold me the cylinder haha. My old tag was univelgforce. Some old parts not much old rear tires and wheels. Stock axle . Good stock head . Yes the dome was cut on the cool head. I basically told carl I want a reasonably fast zilla that is as reliable as we know how to make them. And he put it together. And again I can't say this enough to the guys on here. Carl is great and treats people right!
It is a nice bike... I saw it in person at Carl's... he did most of the work on it... that pipe looks real sweet in person w/ the ceramic coating on it... GLWS!
Ok I remember you now lol. Did I sell you a resleeved cylinder or stock sleeve? I think it was stock. Anyway where are you located again?
Stock sleeve, Carl made me very picky about that haha, im in massachusetts 01612
yeah Carl is the man, and he always answeres the phone..
