nice one have you raised the rear ride height or is it just an allusion as the guards are cleaned up

how does it handle in an aggressive ride cornering etc with that height ???

i like the appearance of a higher rear but dont want too much weight on the front mid corner

I am quick a heavy guy. So when i sit on it the ride height is just right. It might be a bit much weight on the front but it is ok. I dont think i will evry be happy with the handling of the RZ 350 as i also have a TRZ 250 3xv and that is just the best when it comes to handling

Looks really nice, especially the paint. I like the uniqueness of the parts and the fact that is has only one front brake disc.
What size tires does it run with those rims, good lightweight balance for the RZ!

Looks super clean!! Purple and teddy bear kinda give it a girly vibe haha although al the colors flow together well. I'd ride that proudly any day of the week. Very nice attention to detail.
