Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Need to shape the YPVS servo bracket a little more.
Not exactly what I wanted, but it's okay.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
I think I have the tranny casings lined up.
Still need to find the cylinders. I may have found a left cylinder, not sure.
Very hard to find trashed parts. Nobody lists them for sale, and the parts usually go right into the waste bin!
I'm checking with engine builders.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Very sad discovery!!!
Just figured out Slinger lives over 5,000 miles away from me.
I was hoping to talk him into making some custom GP pipes.
Shipping most of my bike, plus the stand-in engine, over 5,000 miles and international borders is a scary proposition.
Not really sure what to do at the moment.

I may check out the shop (I think) he uses. It's only about an hour from my house.
If I have the pipes made in Cali - I need to check with BT first. He's the man, and the master. I wouldn't even contact him until everything I have is 100% ready to go.
Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Roger used to have an in house guy who did it I guess hes gone then.
BT should be able to do a fine job. worth an ask as you say.

1 vote for BT pipes. Several people up here have them on 350s and 500s.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Nice pipes kpke!
The problem is that this bike has special needs. Probably needs crossover pipes to get the bellies further forward and because I want shorter pipes, BT might not want to deal with it. Never seen any BT crossover pipes, either.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
I need to get the footpegs done before the pipes.
Working on them now. There are clearance issues with the clutch cover which need to be figured out.
Waiting for the frame to come back from the welding shop.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
The width and hence the clutch cover was one of the things I was struggling with on my KTMaha project, always a bit of messing about when adding an extra cyl of width :/ I moved the brake pedal outside the frame on the footpeg in the end, but it wasnt perfect.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
BT pipes? Contact info please?
Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Brian Turfrey I think, there was some of his work in another thread, hes been around for ages and the pipes look good, but Ive not seen any Dynos etc.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
Got more welding done on the engine cradle. Need to get it cleaned up.
Roger always has cool shit at his shop.
Waiting for the footpeg brackets to arrive.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
The engine cradle bolts to a steel plate I made and tacked to the frame. I forgot to ask Roger to weld the plate - so, the frame is back at the welding shop.
I got a few pics. The cradle appears to be very solid.

Re: RZ350 Super Motard
