Hi just thought I'd say hello, my passion is with 70s Yamaha gp bikes. Yes TZ350cc steel frames wire wheels and light switch power. I've got a bike and out there having fun. Just need to stop breaking its clutch

G'day Bullarabs, so, what is letting go, clutch-wise on the ol' TZ?

If you want a torquey machine, slot an Kawasaki H2 mill into the TZ chassis.

& then you could run a Ducati dry clutch... https://sso-bikes.de/shop

that H2 stuff looks great but the 350cc is plenty enough bike for me.
I do have a couple spare tz frames

Looks like a natural for an H2 project Bullarabs, & the Willing bros raced one back in the day..

Scroll down this page below - to see their TZ/H2 in period action..

Welcome to the forum. I see you have Greg's old TZ350 there two. Good bike.

I have the clutch bearing mod and a couple of Rave Motosport solid Kevlar friction plates to help with the exploding plate issue.
But before the Barry Sheene next year I will be fitting a cush drive to my rear Astrolite wheel.
