I LOVE bikes like these! As has 'gpaddict' said, you can't go wrong...go expensive or go cheap and cheerful...THIS should be lots of fun! I congratulate you on taking it on and I know that will give you lots of pleasure and lots of pain and frustration...the pleasure wins in the end though!
Best of luck mate.

Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Well done, very nice job.
One question though. How long has that concrete mixer been sitting there?

Re: My RZ500 resto project
Beautiful job. Did you do all the painting yourself? No matter who painted it, great job. Now go show it off.

Re: My RZ500 resto project
Still such a dammned good looking bike...to this day. The Yamaha factory graphics..just cannot be beat
IMO,its subjective obviouslly but I stand by the idea ,that You can put a RZ such as yours in a row on display with ANY RZ with different paint jobs,ANY race replica etc...and your stock graphics will "hold their own",regardless of indavidulality...the stock design is that dammned good. Even when you view two or more of the same next to each other..Its just double the pleasure to the eyes...
