Peace to all the people showing love for zuma’s out there.
A few years ago a buddy of mine bought an 09 zuma for $900 with 700 miles! a ridiculously good buy. It already had a yoshi on it too.
I truthfully never paid any attention to the zuma other than the race builds but he dropped it off as said ill buy whatever just make it look sweet.
This is how it look upon drop off.
I feel stock they are pretty terrible looking, but after poking around the internet and seeing some kick ass transformations and talking to some builders I was pumped to get the build underway.
Luckily i scored the drow under cowl, and zubiku tail which totally makes the bike.
There were a few things i never got to dial in like the massive gauge cluster up top and the front headlights but he was pumped and we are all just happy to roll around together. Some parts took 3 months to wait on.
Last summer we hardly rode together and i guess he didn’t ride it more than a few miles, had to store it outside and i ended up buying the bike off him for a super solid cost.
This is how it sits now after rebuilding it in winter.
The face shield finally came in! I wrapped it and it doesn’t stick to well but it will work for now! I definitely like the look with the shield despite high beam pretty much not existing.
This is just a photoshop of the bike from end of summer.
I got tangled up in some gravel and dumped it shortly after, I’m still paying for it with my wrist but but the foot peg saved everything except the one rear plastic. So motivation to finally paint!
I’m hoping to do a kind of two tone like this, maybe powder the wheels copper or something loud.
Id love to hear any ones color ideas. Hope everyone is enjoying winter.
@Tortoiseandthehare Love the build! question for you since I’m turning up empty on finding information on these kinds of builds. What stretch kit are you running? What rear wheel dimensions are you running. I’m considering building one but I currently have a set of Dorbyworks 13"X8" gy6 wheels that I would like to repurpose and run if possible on a Zuma 125. Any and all assistance/knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
