This was my friends old race bike. 1984 RZ350
It's been sitting since 1991 with a seized motor. I've always wanted a RZ and when I found out he had one I had to talk him into selling it!
It needs a lot of work but I like to tinker in the garage and am not in a rush to finish. For know I'd like to get it mechanically sound (bearings, suspension, brakes) & rebuild the motor. I'll worry about cosmetics when it's running. He gave me a ton of parts to go with the bike. I still haven't sorted through everything.

Good eye......it does have Factory Pipes.
I think it's a good start......just finding the bike is half the battle! LOL
Eveything needs to be cleaned/polished or greased but that's why it's project :smt001
I'll update this post with pictures as I work on things.

This site does have a lot of great information. I can get lost for hours reading.....and I have!!
