New Project
Hey everyone, my first post here. I've got an 88 Canadian RZ on the way. Should be here next week. My plan is to restore and update it.
Back in the 80s I roadraced RDs and RZs. I'm looking forward to having a T2 again .

Re: New Project
Welcome Pete, and you have what looks on the surface to be a very nice original starting point. There is a wealth of knowledge captured on this, IMO the best and friendliest forum. Do your research, the if you cant find what your looking for, post up your question. Generally its is a race to answer and I would walk East if someone here has not encountered the problem before. In the links page you will see other sights that may help as well.

Re: New Project
Thanks for the welcome Seahorse! I've lurked in this site for the last 10 years! I finally got a bike.
I'm a Yamaha "Blue" blood. I currently own an '05 R6 track bike, and I'm restoring an '82 XV920R. I've owned an: RD, Vision, TX500, FZ6, FZ1 and of course my old Canadian RZ.
Back in 1988 or so.

Thanks Reddog. Not in Canada but OKC and Austin, TX.

Re: New Project

working on my 421 project from mr Roger
Re: New Project
I haven't posted in ages.
The suspension is rebuilt, lots of small new bits, carbs rebuilt, new brakes on.
The motor runs but will need a complete rebuild. Pistons are pretty scuffed up and I'm sure the bottom end doesn't have much left in it.
All in all she rides much, much better, and feels solid and firm, no longer a bucket of mush!
Getting it titled was very ease too. Just present the papers and I got my OK title in the mail two weeks later.
