Both bikes have Gus's heads, I got them with 11cc domes, Really nice and no probs so far, The Red/Black bike is completely OEM bodywork, The Red/White is Chinese kit.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Haven't been on the RZV is ages, Been riding the Gammas and the RC30 a lot, Took her out on the 200 mile loop, What a class bike to ride, Forgot how fast it is compared to the stock RG500, Shes a mover
The OEM bodywork is going out for paint shortly and Ill get the tank repainted with it so its all correct....

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Another one to get a little work, Replacing the front fairing and clocks, I have a nice RZ fairing ill fit, Ill leave the tail on it though, The original subframe is gone and I like the look of the YZR one, Ill mod it though so its a little more fitted and solid on there and re-cut and weld the upper exhausts so they fit straight and cleaner..
Engine has new cranks and pistons, so thats a lot of work not to be done,
Suspension is Priller RSV1000 and the wheels are actually in like!! Chain lines up with a machined front sprocket, So that saves a lot of work.
Let the games begin.........

I'm most amazed at how much you get done.
So many bikes - so much energy
