Rz500 mids & lowers will fit the 250 upper to .
500 & 250 are the same even the 250 upper has the 47x markings on them

Round headlight is later Peet, 87ish. In fact the only rectangular headlight RZ250/350 in aus was the 85 i believe, after that they went back to round.
Oh and the top faring defo fits the smaller bikes tho and there are two models of upper fairing on the UK/EU/etc rectangular light style, they have different screens...
Personally im a rectangular headlight fan.... LOL
I always thought the middle and lowers were different on the smaller bikes to the 500, but i may be wrong there...
Anyway, love the project Alex and youre so right, if you just do a little bit each day you soon move forward and you have time to get parts in, and think things through properly.
I love the new front and rear ends by the way, should handle very well indeed!

haha, well some bikes just look right to our own aesthetic tastes i guess.
Interesting the 250/350 fairing fit, thats a huge bonus when building a 500 i reckon, tho even the smaller RZ fairing parts are getting much harder to find now, i rekcon ive seen more 500 fairing panels the past year than the others in fact. bizarre but true.
Well yes, upgrades are like a virus, it just grabs hold of you and you cant stop... i know this only too well... well my brain doesnt really, but my wallet does!
keep up the good work m8! we need more pics!

Seen the same lots of parts around
Lots of New parts on evilbay to for Rz500

Think people are unloadig excess stuff & putting that in to there pocket or into parts needed & not filling up the shed of unused parts
Been letting go of some hordes parts my self
Rather see more 2st on the road that r6 etc

I reckon youre right Peet, Ive been doing the same. Sold off a bunch of great old bike stuff the past 6months and chucked the cash at my 2Ts, and seems a lot of guys are doing the same, Alex included! Means our bikes will get built sooner and other bikes can move forward, a win win

Top stuff ALex, I really like the look of it, in fact Id go close to saying its looks pretty darn cool as is without the belly pan fairing ? Is it sitting higher too ?

I left the pegs where they were
I just seem to sit nto the bike like a old glove
Have u put in a ride hight adjuster or moved you front shock mouting point .
They do look higher with 17inc wheels
I moved shock mount but would like a adjuster to fine tune it later.
Seen them at killer prices but havent come up with how to make 1 yet.
Got any ideas for 1
