Well seeing as i have now got 3 TZR's i decided what the hell i'll strip on down and rebuild it Smile so in the next few weeks you will see loads of photos up of the different stages.

First will be dismantaling the bike Wink
*should be fun with all the seized bits*

Anyway ill let you ponder on this one while i get some pictures up Smile


What the bike has cost me so far

£ 30 - Bike
£ 20 - Delevery

Lol lonewolf don't i know it Very Happy was a bitch to transfer one engine into another bike lol all because i didn't undo one other bolt

Well this is my garage, As you can see it is an absoloute pig sty! its only like that as i have been in the middle of moving the garage around so i can store more bikes in there Smile Notice all the benches on the right hand side Smile Its where the magic is Wink

the two TZR's i will be taking parts off are these two

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/TZRFrame.jpg
A K Reg

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/Donorbike.jpg
A H Reg

here is the bike i will be transforming

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/TZRBikeTobefixed.jpg

I had a look at the exhaust from the donor bike and it wasn't good. Rust everywhere apart from the expansion chamber

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/Closeupoftheexhaust.jpg

Also the radiator cover is rusted to bits but its not important as i have another one in mint Smile

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/SprayPainted.jpg

That was the exhaust prior to sanding, The last person to buy it had sprayed it with a can of aerosol which is really visible on the photo

https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/ottobeil/SandeddownreadyforHTpaint.jpg

And this is the exhaust afterwards not perfect but i might not even use that exhaust as i have one on the bike that is going to be fixed all ready

And under the tank we have...

....crap Sad

i was in the process of rebuilding my tzr.. till it stopped starting Evil or Very Mad
All I need to really get going though is a swingarm (disc brake version and caliper mount) so I can swap over from the crappy drum brakes (already got the wheels, stripped and waiting) and then powder coat the frame Very Happy

keep us posted Mr. Green
