Re: RZ 500 or 250/350 headlight/clock birdcage mount

Hey Jon,
I have both the screen and headlight assembly but I'm holding onto all my parts until the 500 is finished. How soon did you need them?
Did you still have a spare rubber surround for the headlight? :)

Re: RZ500 parts

Just missed out on 2 good condition panels in California. Once you factor in the cost of plastic repairs, missing tabs, patching, paint and fastners you can see how these items go for such a high price. I might be a while before I can offer up my surplus but I'll be in touch when the time comes. Wou...

Re: RZ500 parts

ooooh, the legendary 'unobtainium' . Yes indeed :)

I was thinking of going this way so I can strip off the large plastic air boxes and the heat shields but if you are selling those bolts I'm interested too.

Re: RZ500 parts

That’s the ones. I’d be grateful if you can have a look. Been waiting for a set to come up. Thanks!

Re: Yamaha CT3 175 Resto

Yeah,
Attracted a fair bit of scrutineering at the pie shop as well. Great conversation starter.
Still some small jobs I'd like to go back and do properly when I get the time though.

Re: RZ500 parts

Let me know if you are ordering any bits from o/s for the 500. I was going to order some of the foam o-rings for the elephant ears, but I'm now thinking of ditching them and getting K&N type foam because there is 2 long bolts missing that are hard to find or about $60ea.

Yamaha CT3 175 Resto

Hi folks, Thought I'd start a thread about a side project I picked up a while back. It's an early 70's Enduro that has seen better days. Not quite the collector status but I find it appealing for reasons unknown. Maybe the simplicity. There's a few things wrong with it but I'll deal with each one as...

Re: RZ500 parts

That stone guard is a rare piece but one will turn up in the usual places. I have an assortment of fairing panels (all OEM plastic) but tbh I'm waiting on getting a complete set done, then I'll let go whatever the paint shop don't use, so maybe not your usual quality. Didn't know you were doing a 50...

RZ250 what mainjet you running?

I have a standard 155 in my ‘86 RZ250. Mine also fades around 5500, then pulls out of it. It does clear a little when it has been running for a while. The carbs have been off and on so many times, I’m just living with it as a characteristic of the bike. Up around 7000 the ypvs should be moving. Is i...

Sorry, mine is missing that section too. Couldn't find the clock itself but I found a photo before the wife tidied up the garage.
