Maybe its the time in my life, the splitting up with the GF, my ongoing preference to fitness. And probably ju...

RG500 Engine Stand

Hello,

I've seen engine stands for the RZ5, TZR-3XV etc.
Anyone know if someone makes a RG400/500 engine stand?

Thank you,
Tony.

Re: '86 RG500 resurrection advise.

From my perspective.... I look at the value of these bikes. This isn't finding a 750cc Honda interceptor this is bike worth 15k+. Personally aside from the motor there isn't anything particularly special about the RG... It's made to be light (aside from the exhaust) so be careful with the bolts into...

Re: Two Stroke Exhaust Pipes - Why? Why so heavy?

Just seems like a lack of creativity. Try some different materials, direct some airflow.
Grump grump!

Two Stroke Exhaust Pipes - Why? Why so heavy?

Hello, I'm on my 2nd 2-stroke bike. I have a wrecked... WRECKED RG500. But never mind... Why did the manufactures of of RZ500, RG500 etc etc. Make the exhausts out of such heavy materials when these bikes are supposed to performance machines? Plus with further consideration of how on some of these b...

Re: RG 500 Bodywork

I have some parts in need of repainting/restoration... And live in Canada.
Any interest let me know.
Would not be terribly expensive... No idea what shipping would be like but not ideal obviously.

Re: RG500 float bowl

Well maybe we could work together to help us both out? We are relatively close too.
Is it worth asking if you know any places that might have spare bits?
I need a great deal of stuff really, if you want to suggest your spares.
