RZ/RD 350 & Misc. 2-Stroke Tech BBS

Rest in peace Jay Abington.
Motorcyclist. Fabricator of things, great and small. My good friend.

Wish I had pics of all the jigs and rigs I've made over the years.

Popped these 2 tacks. https://i.postimg.cc/Bv2TvtHg/20240330-175403.jpg Made a rookie mistake (besides maybe over-clamping). I was dressing the tacks as I went. This weakened the tacks for no reason. I could have left the extra material on the tacks and they would have been stronger until time to we...

Thanks, guys. I'm definitely trying to do some interesting stuff, but perhaps my tactics are bad, or it's still inexperience. Bad day at the welding lab. I think the main mistake was trying to clamp parts for tacking. I just put too much pressure on the clamp, and probably my tacks were of insuffici...

RZ is looking tight. Shock res with cooling fins is a nice touch.

I like the last pic. The trifecta of fun. Sportbike, ATV, and cruiser. What is that Kaw? Voyager 1200? Very stylish.

Website is dead. Not sure if I should keep posting here. So many good friends, though.

Welcome.

You can find a good RZ. They're getting expensive, though. Where are you located? GA?

Couldn't sleep again. Stayed up for hours looking at pics and videos posted by Jay. There's a lot of stuff out there, if you search. Found (I think) 703 pics/videos on Flicker. Not sure how to download pics from there. I've never been a member of any social media website. What a motherload! Jay as a...

I agree that based on the part number, the bolt is probably 35mm.

I would also guess that the collar is 24.9mm, based on the part number.

Bike was dirty and front fender wasn't on, but I grabbed a couple of pics of the gold titanium hardware. More coming soon. https://i.postimg.cc/wMRgrBCx/20240131-121303.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/6Qhr7W1Q/20240131-121143.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jj8GHbDs/20240131-121011.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jjZrMf...

Prices on these old bikes are through the roof, nowadays. Was surprised to see what looks like a decent bike at this price. Read all the info. Get down to the last bit, and find out there's no title for the bike. How can that be? Has it been stolen??? Also, why wouldn't the owner go to the DMV and g...

I downloaded the first pic. That's a keeper! Started looking for more pics, and found your racing videos which were posted before I joined this forum. I have always appreciated your knowledge and help with my projects, and with real life issues- but I didn't know you raced bikes. I've not been aware...

What ever happened with this bike?

Did you do track days, or just hooligan out on the streets?

Got any pics?
