Well, I had a line on this stuff for about 6 months locally, 30 min from my house. I picked up an RZ and the seller said his friend had some TZR250 parts. The guys said the fellow had a frame but used the swing arm and front end and rims on an LC project. The TZR was an import from Japan and had no papers.
Anyway, I finally got a hold of the guy and he was looking from a RZ350 bottom for a 421 project. So I dug in the man Cave and came up with enough parts to build a complete bottom and made the trade today.
The frame is nice, pipes are ok and some of the plastics are junk and some are in good condition. I should be able to make some of them work with some repairs. I need to find lots of other stuff for sure but a good start.
I think I will plan to drop in a RZ350 motor with R1 front end and Ali FZ600 Swingarm with SV650 rim.
So many ideas and not enough time or money. At least I have all the stuff to get it into a roller already and a built 350 motor awaiting a frame!
