Hey mate, I was lucky and a 18" old suzuki wheel just popped up on trademe. It I brought it and it fitted up sweet! From memory a old drum GN250 front wheel will work. But I'm not 100%. Theres a forum somewhere with all the old suzuki rim/brake/axle sizes and you can just find something that'll work. I was keeping my eye out for an old DR rear wheel as it should fit the TS and is half an inch wider. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z18et1200coupe Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hey team, done a couple wee things on this ol girl lately! Chucked some new bars, grips and throttle on, made a front mudguard, and got rid of the ol oil tank. Also passed a warrant which is rad! Been having loads of fun ripping around the streets, exhaust pops and farts and is pretty loud so it's sweet for winding people up. Got pulled up the other day though, Cop said he was trying to catch me for 5 mins haha! But he was a GC and let me off with compliance for not having a motorbike license haha.. Also brought a new motor thats been ported and had a few other bits, apparently it'll be an extra 10hp which would be epic! Will try and get that in over the next couple weeks. Also brought a bunch of jets off Ebay so I can try get this running good with the new motor. Also will try and mod my PE175 pipe to fit at the same time. Happy days! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post z18et1200coupe Posted June 11, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2017 Have done a couple wee tidy up jobs lately - Got new control switches for the bars, rewired a bunch of old messy crap, painted a couple wee things, jetting the carb a bit better. Still needs a wee bit of fine tuning though, I need to go and get some more plugs! Also I finally got my license so have been riding everywhere, so much fun. Will work on getting on expansion pipe and popping the new motor in soon! Peace 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKD Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Cant help thinking that would look sick with a vintage husky-esque loaf of bread seat. That whole vintage super moto thing is so sweet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z18et1200coupe Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Have done a few jobs on this ol girl lately; -Popped in the ported motor -Got expansion chamber in Indo that looks similar dimensions to the 80's "Bansani" pipe that was the rave, finally got it on -Put some decent rear shocks on, I lifted it about 2" to see what it looks like. Unsure if I like the rear slammed or high. I'm stoked with the clean section below the tank and the rear triangle with the low pipe. Sound like a proper 2 stroke now too, and actually goes waaaaay better with the pipe and porting. Too bad it just clutch slips if you're on the pipe above 2nd gear Unsure if I prefer front mud guard on or off also. Will try and take some good photo's on the weekend. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts185 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Did you have to replace the stator to convert to 12V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, just ditched the old sketchy rectifier and put in the regulator. Won’t be putting out loads of current but am running LED lights everywhere and it hasn’t been a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I see you have removed the CCI oil injection, your left hand main bearing will fail very soon unless the case has been modified so it can be oiled by the airfuel mix, I would be keen to know as I want to do this mod my self 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I did this to my engine yesterday, its not ideal, would be better in the middle of the port like every other bike, it should let fuel oil mix pass through the bearing when the mix is on its way into the cylinder.
