2 Strokes Down Under

Hi BRG1200,

Have a look in the Projects section of this forum for a thread called RZ350 Hybrid. Third thread from the top.

Cheers,
Phil

Hi BRG1200,

I think the mag will be released later in April. I haven't seen it in the shops yet. I get an electronic version so maybe they send that out earlier.

Here's a pic of the bike.

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've been on the forum but you might remember an RZ350 project I did a while ago with a lot of help from you blokes. I hope everyone is going well. I thought you might like to know that it's been included in the latest Retro Bike magazine and that its still around an...

It's taken me a while to sort out the carb jetting and re-learning a lot in the process. I'm pretty happy with it now although still running the bike in. Done 400kms and nothing fallen off so far. Here's a YouTube of it running. https://youtu.be/3nyYtkMDBaU Out for a test run https://farm5.staticfli...

Hi Hybrid, Jon, I agree. I was intending to have a white Yamaha sticker on the black part of the lower fairing but it didn't arrive while I was painting. I'll have to put it over the clear. A ypvs or RZ sticker on the tail or upper fairing might look good too. Definitely won't have the engine size :)

Thanks BRG, Here's some pics of the bike finally finished (with lights and mirrors etc) and on display at a local bike show. I plan to get it registered in the next week or so and then having fun! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4518/26657220889_cefaeae8e7_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4583/38...

Hi guys, I still have some original bars but not sure which type. Maybe F2 style. I'll dig them out and have a look. They wont be in great cond but think they were straight.

Finally finished the lighting electrics, final fitting jobs and put fuel in the tank. This afternoon I borrowed a number plate off another bike and took it for a quick spin around the block. Damp road, new brake pads and new tyres made it interesting around corners but it has some getup in a straigh...

Thanks BRG1200 & James, Feel free to stroke my ego; no one else does! 😁 It's still not finished and will almost certainly need some sorting, so I'll let you guys know how it runs and handles. James, The exhaust cans could maybe be a little closer but they're no further out than the fairing. The ...

Thanks Hybrid.

Thanks Jon, Persistence won in the end! The tail started as a Honda RS125 race seat that I modified quite a bit. I split the centreline of the seat pan to widen so it better matched the tank width, matched the seat pan to the tank(originally had a rounded joint with the tank) , added the side panels...

Finally the painting is finished and I'm pretty happy with it, in the end. Just a few little finishing jobs to do now. Fit bigger mains jets Wire up lights and indicators Finish seat upholstery fit rear brake light switch https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4484/37139637414_dc76601454_b.jpg https://farm5...

Hi Hybrid, I know you're right and generally try to use the same family of paint. Unfortunately it's quite an inconvenience to setup the spray booth for any length of time so I tried to get away with spray pack undercoats that didn't need the booth. For most of the surface area it worked fine, just ...

Lol, No worries at all. I didnt think I'd written the last bit?? Thought I'd been sniffing to much paint fumes

Wow, not sure what happen with the last message. Think I took too long to write it and the system chopped it in half!
