Thanks Jerem. I'll email them.

Hey guys,

Does anyone know where to find a steering damper to suit the RZ500 or may even have one for sale yourself?


Cheers, Markus.

Whatchya got?

Pretty sure I got a useable Alpha-10 / GPR-70 Dunlop rear (maybe one of each even...) No chicken strips either, hehe.

I'll have a look at my dad's on the weekend.

Cheers, Markus.

It's got a 180 on it at the moment which I like. My other option is to play around with the sprocket spacing, but a slightly smaller tyre would be easier.

Will a 160 do?

Oh I forgot to say... I'm keen to come along. I really need to put a new rear tyre on the 500 as it's a bit wide and too close to the chain.

Forget the LC, mine has not left the shed for months

How hard is it to find a Sugo kit and whats the cost? Whats included?

Cheers, Markus.

Wow.... I've heard rumours these existed, but these are the first pictures I've seen. Looks like a good buy for someone who can get to Southern Italy easily.

I was there wondering who the lucky bastard on the SP was

Where you thinking Markus? For day runs the usual suspects are; Putty Road Bells Line of Road - return via Central Mangrove and then the old Highway? Along the coast via the National Park towards Wollongong then up Macquarie Pass and home via Kangaroo Valey, then Mittagong and home via freeway. Wha...

Havent had a chance to do anything with it yet.

Cool, I'll start inviting people.


Cheers, Markus.

Last lot of parts for the RZV should trickle in by the end of this week. Found an engineer to inspect the bike who sounds reasonable. Can't wait! Should be ready to roll by the end of the month.
