holy hell zxwut! thats quite the Busa you have in your sig, any chance of a picture? lol

I don't have anything as mean as that puppy but my ride during the summer is a 2002 ZX-6R, its kawi team green, wheels match too, put two brothers exhaust, flush mounts and a black smoke shield on the bike over summer, I want a bigger bike like a newer gsxr 1000 or a older 954 in red&black

I got some pictures of it in the second to last or so page of the "show off your stang" or whatever thread. I'll try to dig one up later and throw up here if you want.

To be honest, the Husqvarna is much more fun! Straight hooligan bike

226K Runs strong. Tranny is needing a rebuild. Engine doesnt smoke or anything, just puffs a little on startup from leaky valves.

Took it out today, I thought it was 226, its actually 228 I'll snag a picture for proof later. I have not owned the truck since new, but i see no signs of any rebuild on the engine. In fact it looks fairly worn, when I replaced the timing gear, the chain was loose and had a nice dark oil/carbon deposit you would expect on a high mileage motor, but no sludge. My guess is someone took care of it as I will continue doing.

We have 2 we run a 95 with 4 speed auto dully that has 207,000 no issues except some sensors. Reasonable oil consumption and drivetrain. Run 15W40 truck oil since day one on both.
An 88 with c6, engine in bad condition at 65,000 on odometer: I took it to be 165,000. Basically sat around alot and rings seized in the 2 rear cylinders. C6 was replaced at 70,000 origional miles.
Engine overhauled in 09 no mechanical issues since.
When Ford redesigned the 460 for EFI they did a good job.
No EFI related issue on either 460. But some fuel tank and pump related issues.
Today It needs paint but has no rot out rust, runs great and c6 shifts as new.
Currently only electrical issues, insolution on wiring beneath the master cylinder bad on 88, remain in either truck.
These are big quad cabs and do not get used alot but when work must be done they are ready.
The 88 tows a 6K load on a trailer exclusively.
