    @timemachinesatvs on youtube got a bunch of tri-z



  2. Fabrizzio Demeis on March 20, 2023 at 6:37 am

    Dude, blue with yellow plastics and gold wheels look sick



  3. Anonymous 14 on March 20, 2023 at 6:38 am

    Yellow plastics gold wheels everything else black 😎, maybe gold frame



  4. Silverhaze78 on March 20, 2023 at 6:39 am

    The welded piece on the exhaust looks like a gusset for strength.



  5. Anthony Robert on March 20, 2023 at 6:40 am

    Gold frame like wheels and black



  6. Mal Kocher on March 20, 2023 at 6:42 am

    The headlight shroud should be available in different colors from off-road innovations. He’s starting to sell lots of tri z parts even engine parts. Check them out



  7. Joshua Odom on March 20, 2023 at 6:44 am

    Man do black and white I think it would be the best combination



  8. Grease Monkey Garage on March 20, 2023 at 6:45 am

    Put a banshee motor in the other one and call it the tri-shee! Or a power valved yz250 engine in it ! Or even a yz490 engine ! The other frame deserves a good heart for a new lease on life!



  9. Gerhard janse van rensburg on March 20, 2023 at 6:47 am

    Gold frame with the black plastics



  10. Eric Ball on March 20, 2023 at 6:48 am

    That last blue setup was sick. I had an 85.5 red and black and an 86 white and red. The 85.5 transmission was much more fun by far



  11. Blake Carpenter on March 20, 2023 at 6:50 am

    Try the purple and yellow (banshee) color scheme for fun. If not, I think the yellow and black original colors look best with gold rims.



  12. Matthew Mudrak on March 20, 2023 at 6:54 am

    White and Blue with the gold wheels! You gotta do the gold wheels!



  13. diduexpectaname_ on March 20, 2023 at 6:59 am

    my blasters piston looked like that and it was bc of the wrist pin bearing failed



  14. Joshua Riel on March 20, 2023 at 7:00 am

    Black wheels for sure, it’s a resto mod. The 3-wheeler part is resto, and mod the rest lol. It’s not even a factory bore, just send it bro!



  15. TheExisting 1 on March 20, 2023 at 7:03 am

    lets get itttt



  16. LETSG0WVU on March 20, 2023 at 7:03 am

    Blue and white with the gold wheels for sure



  17. RboysTV on March 20, 2023 at 7:04 am

    The green and orange



  18. mattfish44 on March 20, 2023 at 7:04 am

    Yellow frame black plastic



  19. Pilot sutterfield on March 20, 2023 at 7:05 am

    How much does it cost to have rocket Ron rebuild shocks??



  20. Heath Carr on March 20, 2023 at 7:05 am

    I think the blue and white with gold wheels would be awesome. I had a 87 warrior that color

  22. Richard Flatt on March 20, 2023 at 7:07 am

    Looking good.

    That weld case reminds me of Frankenstein’s monster. I would be tempted to Frankenstein theme it. But your retro upgrades will be better.



  23. Kason Humphries on March 20, 2023 at 7:09 am

    Brake fluid will remove paint from plastics apply it then leave in the sun and come back again with another coat then power wash and repeat



  24. abels_ on March 20, 2023 at 7:09 am

    WATERMELON 🍉



  25. Paul Davidson on March 20, 2023 at 7:09 am

    If you don’t have a lot in it I’d replace all the plastic



  26. MIKE BARRIBALL on March 20, 2023 at 7:10 am

    I WATCHED THIS VIDEO 3 TIMES, ESPECIALLY THE ENDING LIKE 5 TIMES. GOLD RIMS ALL THE WAY, BLUE FRAME-BLACK FENDERS, AND TANK. WITH BLUE SEAT. WHITE SHOCKON SWING ARM. I THINK THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. A LITTLE BIT OF CROME, MABY A EXHAUST PIPE. GOOD LUCK MIKE THIS WOULD DRIVE ME NUTS PICKING THE RIGHT COLOR SKIM. HEY, ALSO I READ SOMEONE SAID THEY SELL A 350- BIG BORE KIT FOR THIS BIKE, THAT WOULD BE BADASS.



  27. Noah Childers on March 20, 2023 at 7:11 am

    I really like the black plastics and blue frame



  28. Jared schons on March 20, 2023 at 7:11 am

    make the shroud blue and the Z blue instead of red then it looks fine



  29. Mike Chavaree on March 20, 2023 at 7:11 am

    I like the idea of modern Yamaha Blue, dark blue and black theme would be like a tribute to what it would look like on the showroom floor of a dealer today.



  30. Blake Duhe on March 20, 2023 at 7:12 am

    -White fenders
    -Blue seat, frame, airbox cover, and headlight shroud
    -Gold wheels



  31. Dax Morlock on March 20, 2023 at 7:17 am

    Gold wheels are as cool as it gets. Your renderings are always killer and I really like yellow and blue. That might look to much like a Suzuki but awesome combo.



  32. Grease Monkey Garage on March 20, 2023 at 7:17 am

    What editing setup do you use for pc btw ?!



  33. Dennis Brooks on March 20, 2023 at 7:17 am

    Oh I wanted to say on the blaster motor, I know the general rule of thumb is x psi drop in x mins ur fine on the leak test. But people follow u, they can misinterpret and send their motor with a leak. I’m like zero tolerance for any leak even after half hour, or a week lol. I’ll hunt em down til it’s set, or if I see it’s the tester, I’ll fix the tester til it stops. And this one, I know the crank is being rebuilt but, people see it. They’ll start hitting their cranks to remove em lol 😂 cover ya 6 ya know. Explain u hit the crank only cuz it’s being serviced. I went to annville PA today for oem 88 250r fenders, almost in ur neck of the woods. 16 hr round trip from maine.



  34. bret willis on March 20, 2023 at 7:18 am

    Changing the rims from gold would be a shame, but to each their own. Love all your projects 👍



  35. Rich Hilton on March 20, 2023 at 7:18 am

    Black and blue would look sick! Great video, can’t wait to see the finished product Mike! ✌🏻



  36. khonky on March 20, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Black with frame to match the wheels



  37. Twisted Trucker on March 20, 2023 at 7:20 am

    For color, I vote, black plastics/bronze wheels and frame. Method Wheels bronze.



  38. J Christ on March 20, 2023 at 7:21 am

    I would grind welds down on outside and to Bevels cris crossing the outside of case and fill with a nice weld bead for reinforcement across the entire area that fails. small 1mm grooves in a web pattern. do single lines inside, no bevel, vertical. it would take time cause you have to keep it cooler than 500F. I just do 1 inch at a time, but it will hold forever. I have seen other guys have strips of Aluminum and make an "x" across weak area. they have aluminum cut out of 6061 .052 in lightning bolts and other shapes to cover crack welds in cases. one guy had us do it in a band-aide shape with little holes so it looked like a real band-aide. lol once you have a good welder TIG it, it looks cool. wild stuff i see coming through the fab shop I’ve been at for 20+ years.



  39. Alexis Martin on March 20, 2023 at 7:21 am

    Get ahold of @TIMEMACHINESATVS he always finding tri Z parts



  40. Dennis Brooks on March 20, 2023 at 7:23 am

    I think u were onto something with the black and gold. No blue. I’d use the gold from the blaster frame on some stuff. And some hits of red. Black red and gold ftw!!! Be sick a.f. lol



  41. jdm456 on March 20, 2023 at 7:24 am

    I liked the black and blue. I used to have a tri-z 125 when I was a teenager that I took on trade and that thing was a gutless turd but I use to have a blast running wheelies and beating the shit out of it lol



  42. Steward Drew on March 20, 2023 at 7:27 am

    I like the white and blue with gold wheels!



  43. Gilbert Hernandez on March 20, 2023 at 7:28 am

    Red and gold



  44. Chet Manley on March 20, 2023 at 7:32 am

    Please keep the gold wheels.



  45. nousermanman on March 20, 2023 at 7:32 am

    I had an 86 200, when I was 8. Taught me a lot of lessons for sure.



  46. TheExisting 1 on March 20, 2023 at 7:34 am

    that black and blue is sick….or the black blue and white with gold rims…



  47. Angelos Konstantinou on March 20, 2023 at 7:34 am

    The 85 Tri-Zs had cold seizure issues. They fixed that in ’86 with updated jetting & different piston.



  48. James Garner on March 20, 2023 at 7:34 am

    Black plastics gold frame gold tires



  49. dominic4830 on March 20, 2023 at 7:34 am

    🙏🔥🙌



  50. Allan Smith on March 20, 2023 at 7:36 am

    Does anyone know how to get a title for a quad if I don’t have one and don’t know who the original owner is?
