Are you using a RVS mille frame?

Nice!

Yeah, what he said - what frame and swing-arm is that...

In a way (and I am struggling with this thought process on one of my own bikes right now), but basically - if we are going to use a frame from a different bike, or use a custom twin-spar frame (such as the ones from MiCo down under), and we are going to install different brakes, different wheels, different forks, a completely different swing-arm, tank, fairings and other body work and we are going to customized almost every aspect of the bike - at what point does one not have an RZ anymore...!?

Stated differently, if you are only going to keep the 2-stroke, why not just put the V4 in a Mille frame or an R6 frame and be done with it! Also, do you still own anything near what it was at that point...

Believe me - I am NOT one of those "keep it all original" purists, - I'm just asking to get the perspectives of others! I am fortunate in that I have two RZs - I can keep the one stock-stock and the other was already a race-bike, so I don't modifying it all to heck!

I understand it, I get it; I just want something too that will sound and run like a 2-stroke, turn-in when I ask it to and NOT turn into a bloody washing-machine when I hit the brakes!

Either way, nice builds hvads.

My feeling is once the frame is gone then it becomes a hybrid bike, no longer an RZ/RD.

HVADS,
this is gonna be a phantastic bike! State of the art.
Is Swarbrick now also supplying carbon mufflers or are they from a different source?

Yes, Swarbrick carbon mufflers. But as you can see, i also bought them to my first built, and that is over 10 years ago.

Please to all you folks that dont think this is no longer a Rd/Rz:
I think this can be discust in other threads, and not in a prosjects thread.

Please respect this!

Hei Hvads

I went in and looked at your other pics as well. Looks awesome!

Hi Hvads could you tell me what fuel tank you have on your bike in the first few photos please and is that on a standard 500 frame or modded?
many thanks

Hi, It looks to me that most parts on that bike is Suzuki RGV250 vj22.
Am I right or wrong Hvads? Impressing new project by the way.
