I installed the PBI 12T counter-sprocket and performed a crank case cover modification. I plan on painting the plastic here before I get it on the road. I'll be taking it on a test ride here when she's all buttoned up. Here are a couple crappy pictures of the wheels, I'll get the finished product after the paint.

Thank you for sending links to your photographs; you did an excellent job, Showgun! You were wise to install the 12-tooth, countershaft sprocket with the 18-inch, rear wheel; a larger sprocket will gear the bike too high with the bigger wheel. You were even wiser to perform the left crankcase cover modification at the same time! I also think it is very prudent to paint the bikes right now; the Zong looks much nicer with a new coat of Krylon Fusion! You are well advanced in Spudifying your new Zongs!

Two new Zongites are better than one! Always remember, "the family that Zongs together, belongs together!
