my zongshen Sierra face lift.. pics

[turbozc03]

Bought it for $600 not running (no spark) had 5500 miles on it.

I ordered 2 cdi boxes and 2 coil pick ups from taobao.com (bought extras for back up. Painted it, bought a new larger rear tire (2" wider and .5" taller) 170-80-15. Extended the swing arm 6". Must say I like it a lot more. Enjoy

future plans will be

Wider rear rim and rear disc conversion
r1 rear tail light
Better front forks
H.i.d head light
new muffler
New front tire
Possibly 250cc water cooled swap.(last)

That looks plain wicked!

If you convert to a TW200 rear rim, you could have the width you seek and stick with a drum brake. My TW200 drum brake is certainly adequate, even the front one. :D

[SpudRider]

You did a great job, fellow Zongite. :tup:

P.S. That Kenda K671 tire is much more dirt worthy than I thought. :)

[katoranger]

You need a larger tire on the front to match. The rear looks great. I like the KTM stickers.

[Weldangrind]

If you choose to use a TW rear rim, you could also use a late model TW front rim, which will support a tire that is wider than most dirt bike rear tires. I think my front tire is 5.10-18.

Anyone know what year tw200 I would need the rims off of?

And thanks for all the help.

Any year will work. I have both TW200 rims for sale. They are used, but in very good condition. If you are interested in buying them, send me a personal message on these forums. ;)

Somewhere around 2001 (can't remember exactly), the front wheel changed to a disc brake. That might be an easier swap onto the Zong.

Any year rear rim would do the trick.

R6 tail light installed

Spud rider sent u a pm

[Weldangrind]

That's a good look. Now, you need to upgrade to a stainless header from a TT-R230 or XT225, and the FMF Turbine Core II like Spud. It's a good look and sound, and it's easy to keep clean.

[turbozc03]

I am debating on that right now or the 250cc swap.

[SpudRider]

That's a nice tail light. :tup:

I will check my messages, and reply to you soon. :)

Both! :D

KTM are going to copy your bike, mate! what did u use to extend the rear swingarm? the larger tire is a great idea. but does it clear the chain etc well?

[turbozc03]

Lol lots of local people comment on it. I am really starting to like it. I will post better pics of how I extended the swing arm. It's definitely solid. I have about 1/4" between the tire and chain.

I found a set of tw200 wheels with tires local for $100 but I am curious on what all needs to be done to make the rear fit.

Any help would be awesome. ....

[Weldangrind]

It involves splitting the engine case. You'd need to swap the existing countershaft for a TW200 countershaft and TW200 side cover (to oil the CS bearing). Simply swaping in an entire TW200 engine would do the same thing.

BTW, a TW200 countershaft has been installed in a Zong before, but I haven't seen the pics for about four years.
