Here's my weapon of choice...i hope to post some pics & vids from rides soon.

I think the supermoto look suits that bike very well.

You Zong looks great! I've never seen such mirrors before; do you get a good view to the rear? Please tell us more about your tail light. The rest of your bike appears to be in stock configuration.

Looks great.

What is the weather like there now? I assume very pleasant? Lots of tight/twisty/older roads too I assume?

If that's the case you have a dream bike there!

I just checked the weather in Zagreb....

Doesn't look like a good week to ride :-(

it's not that bad...i lived in Split before. we had much stronger winds than Zagreb but lot less rain, and much much and i can't stress this enough, much less snow. Now i live in Zagreb and i don't plan on putting my zong in stasis till spring. if the bike starts it's warm enough to ride

You can definitely lace a larger rim to the rear hub. I have built a number of custom, 18-inch wheels for my fellow Zongites. You just need to order some longer, custom spokes. I get my custom spokes from Buchanan's Spoke & Rim, in California.

Couple of action shots

Your bike looks great! Thanks for posting the action shots.

You might consider installing a black, Polisport Supermoto Front Fender on your bike. I really like the looks of that fender on my own Zong.

Spud, I want to use the front rim 18" to replace the 15" rear rim. What size of spokes do I need? what should I consider before lace the rim?I´m no gonna do it but need to know before investing.

Also, I found the front wheel 21" with a 90/90/21 tire, it seems to me will fit but not sure the disc brake (little too short).



By the way, four spokes are missing.



The seller asks $138 as it, I think too expensive .What you think?

Thanks guys, glad you like it
Mirrors are almost useless if you're counting on relying just on them but having spent so much time on sport bikes i lost my habit of looking in them so i barely notice. before every overtake i check mirrors (carefully...they're small as they seem so if im not sure i take my sweet time checking) and i take a glance over my shoulder (another habit from sport bikes)
i'll take some closeup shots of tail light and will post it here.
one of the things i'd like to change is rear rim. would be nice to have 17'' to broaden my choice of tires. Ones i have now (Sava MC7) are great when it's dry but as soon as first raindrops fall whole riding experience becomes a bit shaky.

You want good rear view mirrors on a 60 MPH motorcycle, and check them frequently.

I understand Croatian zombies are the worst.

Here's couple more shots of my ZS. This one is taken near Klis fortress (month or so ago)


These are near my place of residence in Zagreb (few days ago)

[FastDoc]

Very nice!

What is the piece with the writing on it by the rear swingarm pivot?
