500 Two-Stroke Tech

the frame looks formidable. from here it looks like the pipes on the rz aren't as fat - maybe for stock bodywork? either way they "sure would like to have" pipes. You are correct in that the pipes on the RZ500 are not as fat. That bike belongs to a friend of mine, so we had Brian make sev...

Hi Julian I'm keen to find out more on those BTR pipes. The RZ500 in the back ground are the same pipes. Cheers Ron. Hi Ron, Here are a few more details about the pipes... Brian (BTR) makes each set of pipes to order. He has fixtures for many different bikes and pipe configurations, however he ofte...

Thanks for the kind words! I have not yet ridden anything with these pipes, but given the pipe builders experience I have 100% confidence that the performance will be outstanding. Brian's pipes are known for the fat mid sections as that's the best way to optimize for good mid-range torque. Many othe...

I'm probably late to the party, but here's my idea for a modern frame that is RZ500 specific... https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3805/11407932756_8ca47172cd_z.jpg DSCN9837 by andbike , on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5505/11407933535_f1ef21515d_z.jpg DSCN9840 by andbike , on Flickr The frame ...

Interesting question. My solution is to use the original mounting locations. Now if I could just find time to finish it

A friend sent my a link to your post, so thought I'd chime in... Very nice project. The frame is going to be beautiful, and probably have much better handling performance than the stock lump. I'm curious though, was the geometry optimized to take advantage of modern suspension components... I assume...
