Lets see your Zilla
« on: March 09, 2013, 12:00:22 pm »
It's cool to see others zillas out there. Mine started out pretty rough, lots of worn out parts, **** plastic, tired engine...

Before



After



Still engine work to go, another pipe showing up...

I should have bought the LT500 a long time ago, I've spent less than half on my Zilla than what I paid for the LTR-450. And it's way more entertaining to ride!

wish i had a half desent zilla to show off.  got mine from a guy who didn't have title or any paperwork and was sitting outside for years.  tranny doesn't go into neutral but had stock tires and exhaust and i picked it up for $800.  needs all new plastic and lots of work so i been saving up.  everytime i get enough saved life seems to slap me or the wife does and just like that there goes my toy $$.  nice bikes on this site though.

life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"

ken500r, your rear shock rezzie is on backwards and upside down.  if you fix it it will fit better and the line will clear the exhaust.
