so jealous. i so wanted to do this. please show a pic and/or specs of the bungs. i had asked mark to weld some in while he was fabbing my set, but he balked on my request, because he felt the ones i wanted were too big :ummm: :confused2:

I was going to put a bung in each pipe, but after talking to Sean, he suggested I just put 1 in each side after the merge point of 2 into 1. The bungs are stainless steel with regular steel plugs, and I bought them on ebay for $15. Thread size is 18mm x 1.5, standard length. I'm waiting on exhaust gaskets to begin the assembly and installation of the lc-1. Here is a pic of where I am so far with it:

Brings back memories, A couple months before I turned 4 I got a little, blue Z50, back in '71. :clapping: I rode the hell out of it until I was 8, then my brothers wrecked it.

I learned to ride on a Z50 when I was 5 . I believe it was a 74 modle but my memory is not that great. My older brother is quite the scrap collector & gave this to me about 3-4 years ago & I neglected it for a long time but its finally coming together.:biglaugh:

I just gained 10HP with it to look at this air induction system.:rofl_200:

Cool, I was thinking about going on the hunt for another one. But my dad brought up some realism with the "Why" question. He understands the sentiment, but I agree, It's not that I could ride it anywhere or have a kid to give it to.

But still, doesn't mean I can't like other's builds

I have no kids or no use for it either besides it brings back memories. I might use it for a pit bike or might just hang it on the wall if I ever get a bigger garage.

What is the purpose of those? AFR or EFI?

Air/Fuel ratio.

 

[wildweasel_pt]

And your gauge can accept 2 inputs? Or is it just for tuning and you want to sync left bank with the right one?

Went riding. It was the usual terrible Calif. weather, calm, clear, sunny. 76 degrees. It was brutal, but I sucked it up just to keep the bike happy.

I think I could record from 2 different sensors with the LC-1 if I wanted, but I am just using it to see how my ratio is.

I went out to the garage, uncovered it, looked at it then covered it up again. This winter SUCKS!

 

[CustomMax]

We had a snow storm warning. So I took it for a short but chilly ride. DAMN it felt good feeling my bike under me again! It was tempting to just keep going but I didn't want to chance the salt and other **** on the roads getting all over my bike so I just took it back to my storage garage and spent a few hours polishing it. But, it started my blood flowing again just hearing it and the short ride reminded me why I love this bike sooo much!!! Soon, Very Soon...

Nothing to mine but painted my best friends max

Didn't do anything to the bike, but invited my friend to take a look at it. Just to see the greenish colour in his face when he saw the bike HE always wanted to own. :biglaugh:
