Re: 75 RD 350 is hard to start

Have you performed a compression test. Sounds like low compression. I’m rebuilding one of our dirt bikes that had the exact same symptoms.

Re: Zeeltronic install on Gray Ghost RZ350

That’s a shame the cylinder went out. As you said, more than likely a new vent in it.
I picked up a new Zeel from economy 👍

Re: Missmatched key accessories

Are the keys you have the same key code. If they are, you can strip the locks and re-key them to match.
There is a guy on Facebook that does this. I can’t think of his name, but he’s in the groups. Search for him.

Total shipped to me was $244.

Re: Body Panels & Tank - Restore or leave Original?

I would get a decent painter to fix the paint. I’ve had a few fixed up. They will fill and blow in the paint and buff it all out.
