2 Strokes Down Under

G'day race fans. Haven't updated in a while. Works gone crazy, the over time is on, so i haven't progreessed like i would like. the good news is the money is rolling in and i'm about to order vf4 reeds and a zeel ignition. i am about to complete the bottom end then check the squish. I'm hoping to fi...

Good progress phill. excellent build quality. Are you using the original rz side stand? Allways wondered how much the frame is lowered with the rgv suspension /wheel combination?

I think that colour scheme or a varient of it will work out well, I like the black on the bottom with the white yamaha decal.
It's a good feeling when you can start assembling clean / new parts and see the bike taking shape.

Dream on, you bet. Yeah well i do have another frame/ roller. I would like to chat with you about that combination. I've been a yamaha man forever but the kwaka h2 triple is a bike i have allways admired amd it's reputation is legendary. How much can you get for a slightly abused Liver these days?

this is the seat i"m after

750 h2 kwaka in the rz frame is definately a tastie proposition. you've got me thinking James! Thing is i've pretty well got the rz350 engine and chambers sorted for the bike. iIm building this from mainly parts in the spares bin on a small budget. I need to buy manifolds for the 34mm mikuni's and s...

Gday Dave T. they are a peaky pipe. ie the set i have on my other rz come onto the pipe at just under 8000rpm and have good power through to 11000 so on the street they are not ideal. In saying that the ypvs system does help allot to giving usable power below the coming on to the pipe. did you get c...

Bouncing round some ideas. With some small modification i thik can this fairing to work. Need to get some clip ons under the triple clamp to see if it's a good riding position. Think i could use a tz seat as i've seen others have done it.

Thanks for the encouragement boys. The wheels i have are from a 1986. For some reason i thought it was an 85 donor.
I'm thinking i'll do a mock up of the bike before i get the grinder out to remove any excess lugs from the frame.

you blokes might be crackers, i'm only nuts. i like the image on page 1 with the 500 having a black accent bellow the red speed blocks. Is there any room for a blue number plate somewhere in the red speed signifying a 350 like the tz.

G'day race fans. For the last few years i've picked up various rz parts, with some future projects in mind. On the weekend i walked into a door jam and fractured my little toe. The doctor is fitting a space boot to immobilise my foot and at this stage it looks like 4 weeks of work. Also means no mot...

Some things i like and some not so much but i'll say, not bad, not bad at all bosslock, your bike and you can do as you wish. It's come a long way since i last saw it and I know you have had lots of trials and tribulations in building this bike and good on ya for giving it a go. best i come over and...

From my experience of paying a professional painter to paint a 84 rz, the yamaha paint codes don;t come up on any current paint suppliers data base. my painter colour matched some of the faded original paint and came up with what i would describe as spot on. i have an 83 red white and blue rz that w...
