Title: And so it begins. My head should be checked
Post by: chrisxj on September 04, 2011, 06:48:14 PM

                   Well the tear down begins on a bike i will probably never ride after i get it restored because im afraid of it but what the hell. Here i snapped some photos just to get it started and motivate me follow it through. Here the frame is all but basically stripped down and the motor is out and getting ready to get boxed for shipping to get rebuilt

Once you get used to it the power actually saves you "ALOT". Being able to raise the front tire on a whim clears most of the wipeout stuff. I shook like a dog passing peach pits everytime I started my first 500. It wore off after a month or 2 & now I cant stand anything slower. Giv'er a twist you'll love it.

Looking forward to your progress  :mrgreen:

Zilla's are hella fun. I've had 2. The only downside to mine were that they were always needing jetting changes because of humidity or temp. Also they have a very wide stance and don't fit through most atv trails up here prior to the UTV's coming out.
