My latest pics

Postby Kitsune84 » Fri Apr 24, 2009 9:36 pm

well here we go, it's been a long time and lots of work...

Still baby steps back to stock. I have the 4-into-4s and comstars, but because I have new rubber on these, and the comstars are an inch smaller in dia than these in the rear, I have to wait 'til I burn through these tires to be able to justify ANOTHER tire. ;)

Looks good. I like th 17" rear for our on the road anyway. I have a 79 17" comstar on my 80 custom right now.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

...what model was that '79 17" comstar from? Now I'm curious.

I really want to go to the comstars because (at least the later ones) they're tubeless, and if I run over a nail or something (don't run over the glass! Don't look at the glass! ...you ran right over the glass. :roll: ) I want to be able to scuff, plug, pump and go.

79 USA was considered a Z.

Looks fine. I like the spokes rims.
Although in this forum the Z-model means usually the European version, it seems the early US models also were Z's but just from the name.
European Z-models had silver 18" rear comstars.

And the euro ones had dual disks and a diff tail but there are more of the same on all Z's than with the other model 650's.

When you get done with the wire wheel if you want to sell them let me know. I have one set but the rear isnt in very good shape.
