Seat and the new(ish?) tire is a big help, dirty tires make anything look like shit.

I've had that seat since April and those are the same tires that came with the bike :lol:

 

[94RS]

Seat came in.

Well at least they're clean. :lol:

I'm not sure what it is on the roads around where I live but tires get a permanent nasty look after a couple of months.

It's not really dirt, it just turns the tires brown and you can't seem to scrub that shit off.

I'm thinking about buying some carpet or tire brushes to put in a drill and just going fucking crazy on my cars tires, hate that shit. :lol:

 

[94RS]

I usually clean the wheels with a 50/50 mix of Purple Power/water.

Someone told me a few months ago that it wasn't good to do, but I've been doing it over a year and it they still haven't cracked :lol:

These Shinko knobbies are like $30 per tire, so fuck it :rolf:

El cheapo bar ends from Cycle Gear FTW.

I have it attached inside of the throttle tube because the bars are so damn short :lol:

The mirror that wouldn't fit on the KZ and the other bar end I ended up putting on the C70 because the chrome mirrors were cracked to hell.

Ignore the messy ass siding :rolf:

Also chopped up a shifter condom so it would fit the thicker shifter on the Lifan.

Cleaning wheels and cleaning/lubing the chain. Check out that sweet center stand :mrgreen:

And it's ready for Ruckout tomorrow

 

[R13]

Kz with them fancy lookin' bars now.

Is the chain on the c70 as old as the fucking chassis by any chance? :lol:

I sure hope so... It looked that shitty when I bought the bike :rolf:

Whenever I get to tearing it down and getting shit done the way I want it, I wanna get one of those gold DID chains.

 

[R13]

I'm amazed it doesn't have a shit load of seized links. :lol:

 

[94RS]

The whole thing moves pretty freely. I've tried to keep it lubricated since I've owned the bike... It just looks like hell :lol:

 

[94RS]

Ruckout :mrgreen:

Do this to the Z50, kirt.

It's a 190cc engine in there.

 

[R13]

That thing's ugly as shit

I bet that megaphone gp pipe sounds hilarious though :lol:

 

[94RS]

Of course it's ugly as shit, it's a mini-trail. That's part of what makes them so damn cool :lol:

The GP pipe actually sounded pretty good. It had a deep rumble to it for being a pit bike engine on steroids.

He actually had the thing dyno'd at the AIMExpo too. It was like 19HP/22ft lb TQ, but it weighs as much as a stuffed suitcase :lol: Third gear pull got up to 85mph

 

[R13]

Shit mine weighs almost as much as the damn YZ

I think the dry weight on the yz is like 180lbs

My z50 is a heavy motherfucker :lol:
