I'm puzzled, my inner anorak has failed me.
Both look "a bit neglected" and the engine cradle and rear brake on the buggy look rather RZ.

With no seat I wouldn't be very comfortable.

With no tank I wouldn't ride very far.

With no brakes I wouldn't ride hard.

Other than that it fine

This is an ancient race between time and rust - and rust is winning.

Come on Gman, the suspenders is killing me!
Still can't believe some savage chopped up an RZ to make that buggy.

The mystery deepens. Still baffled.

The rz's power valve control/pulley is on the kick start side instead of the gear change side. Yes the buggy racer has the botom of an rz frame mounted at the back to harness a 31k 350 engine. I was offered the buggy, said i would be interested if he re aquired the engine that once lived in it. Told me it was 1/2 mile up the road at his neighbours place. My offer still stands. More.photo's and details to follow.

The PV is a dual setup tho isnt it? So 'as well as' not 'instead of' yes?

I also like the buggy, looks well made, but expect its quite heavy :/

wow... mental... why?

Old mate i bought this bike from replaced all 4 power valve bushes with enclosed bearings, turning down the power valve end to fit the inner race. Why he did it i don't know but they turn in the cylinder beautifully with no slop. . I have had to replace worn valve bushes before and they ain't cheap, I'm yet to go back to invesrigate why he moved the control to the kit start side?
