Re: The Zombie Slayer Tracker whatever thing that was once a Transalp.
I did some refining on the Zeke the last few days. Not that much on this bike is refined. Its more like a creation from Wacky Races. Thats why II love it so much.
Moved the speedo off the bit of sheetmetal it was mounted to. Used an old Honda handlebar clamp/fuse holder. Bit of perforated metal. Done. Cleans up all those wires too.
Fitted a late model Transalp CDI box holder. This lays these down and gets the connectors away from touching the seat. Not that is a real problem now with a sprung seat.
I hope to have stopped the fuel coming out of the filler hole and past the petrol cap. Used an old Suzuki cap. This should have a better seal. Maybe no more fuel dribbles down the sides of the tank.
Removed old brown bag off the back. Pillion pad and pillion pegs fitted.

That bike has more character than all of Hollywood. I'm in to see where she goes from here.

Yes its officially called Bender now.
Took the seat that came with Bender the ZS. Cut down both the foam and the seat base. Carved the foam with an electric knife then a sanding wheel on my angle grinder. Wrapped the foam in plastic. Drilled lots of holes in base and leather. Used rivets with washers to attached leather. Now how a Brat Style seat that is comfy.
Finish it up tomorrow and do better photos.

Awesome! Mad maxis apocalyptic vibe ;D I have worked on modifying a Transalp as well. Not the easiest of bikes to begin with. But the nice and light and semi grunty v-twin is fun.

Bender now has a bit of Mother Russia. In a sea of custom bikes that use 30cal and 50cal ammo boxes as panniers I use a WWII Maxim Machine Gun ammo box. This box came from Latvia and the eBay seller claims the items he sells come off WWII battlefields. Did it? I don't know. I don't care. Its super cool.
Now to make some mounts for it.
