After all these years luggin round moose the paint still sparkles

A big thankz to Dave exhaustcraft for stainless Zorst's, quick build time and suppa fast shippin.

She's won't rev past 3500/4000 rpm and fouling all plugs with slightly damp super sooty plugs and Zorst's outlet, main jet is 121.5, a guess would 113 main do the trick, I think the moose hauler had pods on it in states?

Standard bore, air box, new coils, Thankz Hench.

Very nice.
What was the cost of shipping from the US of A?
Its the most cost effective way of getting a Zed in Australia, bloody prices have just gone daft!

It was about $1200 into WA.

I think it would be cheaper into your side.

I use Barry at Moverquest and he has always done pretty well. The price can vary based on how far across the US it has to come prior to shipping from LA/NY.

It scrubbed up pretty well and another Z back on the road. It's always a bonus to get another bike back on it's feet again.

It is showing 31500 (just short of it) - it scrubbed up pretty well all round.

We are working on some minor tuning issues but almost there now.

It pulls hard and I think it's a keeper.
