Re: RZ350 Super Motard

It has been unusually quiet on both sides of the forum. The 500 forum is a ghost town. Not even the crickets are showing up. I'm blaming COVID burnout. It was busy over the past several years, but now that life has returned to some semblance of normal people are moving on to other things. They'll be...

Re: Rear wheel spacer or collar

If I understand what you are saying, you're thinking the tube and the bit you call the "hat or dust shield" attached to it are one assembly and you are missing a spacer? I think you may be misunderstanding the assembly. The part you call the hat or dust shield is the spacer. They are actua...

Re: Missmatched key accessories

If you have a good ignition switch and key it's easy to re-key the other locks. They come apart easily and you then move the tumblers around, or remove some as necessary, until your key works in that lock. Takes just a few minutes to do it.

Re: RZ350 TZR 3XV Hybrid

Definitely not a rookie ken. You've done far more than most of us will ever accomplish. I'm always inspired when I see your work.

Watching Framemaker at work is very impressive. From concept to final product he makes it look effortless. Certainly one of the greats.

Re: RZ350 adjustable power valve contoller

Nick installs a series of dip switches. By moving the switches to specific positions you control the opening RPM of the power-valves. This means that from a 100% stock engine to a highly modified engine, you have control over the valves and you select the range that works best for you. He did one fo...

Re: 85 USA RZ Engine Rebuild

Silverstrom, Thanks for the tip on Pete's Superbike. Their prices are very aggressive and the exchange rate on the USD is very favorable coming to the US. I contacted Pete's, and confirmed they do ship UPS to the US with minimal cross border issues, thanks to NAFTA. Thanks again for the tip. :smt02...

Re: 85 USA RZ Engine Rebuild

Avon AM26 are also a good option. I have them on a few bikes here, including an RZ350 and RZ500. I buy from Petessuperbike.com They have a great selection available and great pricing. I've never found a better price for tires. They're in Canada and offer free shipping here. Usually 2 days to my door...

Re: FYI Airtech is " out of Business"

For Canadians looking to buy from Skidmarx in the UK the shipping may be quite expensive. I contacted Skidmarx for my RG250 set, who then told me they didn't ship to Canada. They said I would have to buy from their US distributer in Florida, USA. I looked into that and the way it would have worked w...

Re: FYI Airtech is " out of Business"

I bought a set for an RG250 and the quality is top notch. Looks great, fits nicely, and is very well made. Not at all like AirTech.

Re: Front Subframe Spacing collar 9038706249

I think omit is the answer. I've never seen that part. The cage bolts directly to the lower triple clamp without a spacer. The only thing I can think of is it is used on your "special" one year only 85 Canadian. The Canadian 1985 F1 uses the same headlight and stay assembly as the 86-90 F...
