Intro from Sydney
Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2015 10:05 am
Hi all,
Thought i'd introduce myself and my projects. Just purchased 3 RZs with the intention of creating at least 2 running bikes. I bought an RZ500 in bits and boxes. That's on the back burner for now.
Then I picked up (what I was told was) an RZ350 1WY F2, which was a bike I had when I was a teenager. When it finally arrived, it turns out to be an RZ250 1GA with a 350 1WY engine fitted. Bit disappointed and now don't know what to do with this.....
Finally I bought an old barn yard find, RZ250 1XH which is seized but otherwise in a dirty but decent condition.
I'm from Sydney, been riding for 30+ years, and technically minded with a touch of OCD thrown in.
I'd love to restore these bikes to the level that JonW does them but right now, running would be a good place to be.
I'll have lots of noobie questions so please be kind.
My area of expertise is more IT (networks, computers etc) so would be happy to swap labour hours if any of you are getting frustrated with works in this area, but can offer mechanical assistance in return.
I'll take pics along the way and post up in the other forum areas.
Cheers for now
Gavin
