Re: More Customs

I could look at the bikes in this thread all day long.....in fact, considering its cold and rainy and I am not in the shape to hit the tools, I will do just that!

Re: R6 Clip-ons?

Yeah agree 100% Steve is the man.
Unfortunately I am so far away and with a currency that makes anything pricey, its not an option for me.
I had heard that he was stopping this work or read it somewhere

Re: Assistance with ID'ing a bolt plse

Thanks Steve..

As I read the drawing, its the bolt that passes thru the relay arms where they attach to the underside of the main frame yeah?

Edit: Having a look at the thread you referenced, will post a pic of the underside of my RZV frame, its quite different to the steel frame.

Assistance with ID'ing a bolt plse

Guys I am starting to assemble my rear suspension and on this bike I never had it whole so I don't have a historical reference for what went where. Can any body please let me know where the bolt below goes? Its a two piece affair and the one end has a very small hex....like 8mm or less. Thanks in ad...

Re: RZ500 Steering Srem to R6 Triple

Big guy...if you look back in the threads, you will see the pic of the one I just did. I sketched it up if you want some of the critical sizes but mine was off an 06 R6 IMHO its better to make a new steering stem as opposed to getting the RZV's to fit the R6 lower TC. If you make it out of the corre...

Re: R6 Clip-ons?

Hey Big guy,
I am in the same process, just with an 06 R6 parts lot but also RZV as opposed to RZ.

I just finished with the newly machine steering stem set up and now moving onto the rear swinger - are you doing this work yourself?

Cheers

Re: Steering Bearing Part Numbers

Thanks Steve....gonna check around and see if they are stocked locally. One of the members has also offered me a genuine Koyo set which I am also considering. ...I am by nature quite impatient once I start something so am angling for a locally held item. The RZV lower seal doesnt sit correctly on tb...
