New addition to the Garage...

#1 Post by hyperduc » Mon Sep 04, 2017 12:35 am

I've been looking for an RZ500 for a few years and ran across this one almost 2 months ago. Its taken awhile to get it here (Ohio) from Medford Oregon but it finally showed up last Monday. Engine/suspension all stock(save for the Lomas chambers). AirTech fairings, R6 front brakes. I've only had time to take it for 1 (quite illegal) ride and everything works as it should on a 31 year old 2 smoke. Needs a thorough going thru this winter. I was looking for a rider that wouldn't break the bank.... I believe I've found one :mrgreen:

LOL! Thanks.
Sorry to have rained on your parade. I know the feeling well. For the past 2 or so years I've been a day late to the dance when chasing after one of these.
Good luck with your search.

Hi Tom. I live near Bellaire OH, so not too far from you (130-ish miles). Definitely need to get together sometime so I can pick your brain

Hey Hyperduc. If possible could you take some good detailed pictures of how your tail section and seat are mounted as I have the same tail section that I am getting ready to put on my bike and would like to see how yours is mounted. Funny as I saw this bike back in 2010 at Barber for the last Gamma gathering there. I took a couple of pictures, but the owner wasn't around to talk to or get detailed pictures. Appreciate any pictures you could send me. Direct E:Mail is lawbrkrrcn@sbcglobal.net. L8R Mark

I decided to raise the rear ride height via shock link modification. I contacted Wolfghang, but unfortunately he no longer does the mod. I took a flyer and contacted Bill Wilson: https://wilsonperformance.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; He offered to get hold of Wolfghang to see if he'd share his modification information and if he would he do the mod for me.

A big thanks to Wofghang for sharing his modification information with Bill, and to Bill for the excellent job done modifying the links. Pics below!
