Re: kpke RZ500 resto/mod
Installed unifilters last night.
And then...
Picked up painted fuel tank from Cycle Finish today. It looks fantastic.
They said it could be used right away but…be careful to only fill it 2/3 of the way due to gas fumes and don’t wax it for one month.
So before using it I will let it sit for one month to cure the clear coat.
Do I look fat in this picture?

Yes, I put the tank on
Then removed the decals. They just didn't look quite right. After a month or two of curing I will put gold R1 LE Tuning Fork Emblems on the tank.
Then road to the DB Challenge (same youtube link as yours). I am still working on my DB Challenge video.

Re: kpke RZ500 resto/mod
Okay, here is the 3MA petcock with the 500 bits. The 3MA O-ring, strainer and bolt spacing are the same. Note that 3MA is strictly ON/OFF, but has two outlets, one from the high pickup and one from the low pickup, so it must have an external reserve valve. There is also no vacuum diaphragm on the 3MA, I think it is probably used as a shutoff to supply a separate valve similar to the 500's. I think I have a fiche somewhere and will confirm this if I find it.
EDIT- The 3MA has a separate vacuum petcock P/N 3MA-24500-00 fed from the shutoff shown in the pic.

Re: kpke RZ500 resto/mod
that's what I'm using on the bottom of my RZV5000 tank. The 3MA petcock on and off that is under the 3MA tank. If you put your bike in storage for the winter. you have the ability to shut the fuel off.

Re: kpke RZ500 resto/mod
Recently made another bracket to pull up a bit of sag in the fairing.
Some of the roads I ride on have gravel and debris sections that really suck and beat the hell out of shiny clean MC parts.
I have pulled gravel out of the radiator fins so…
I made radiator guard out of
304 SS Welded 4x4 Mesh .032 Wire
Finished. I kind of wish I would have used one size smaller mesh but this will offer some protection.
In other news I have paid Wilson for new K&N air filter assemblies. They are on the way.
