Just a couple of weeks ago, I was at Wicked and I asked Roger if he's built any RZ500 engines. He told me that he did the top end on an engine, and the bottom was done by Bill Wilson. I didn't ask details... but I could.lost1750GTV wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 9:14 amThat (championship) bike was built in CA for a fellow in KS if i recall.

Re: Ordered smartcarbs
I didn't see the story about this bike. If it is someone in SoCal (where I am), maybe I know him, or could make contact.

Re: Ordered smartcarbs
Mike- you have some very interesting mods!
I can see awesome safety-wired brembo calipers in the pic you posted.
Please share, brother. Start a thread. Your stuff is too cool to keep quiet.

Re: RZV 500 Road Atlanta with Aprillia Track Days
Jesus Christ, Paul. You scared the shit out of me! I read the bold type and shut off my phone immediately. Bad on me. Just not prepared to hear- no more racing, no more riding...or even worse news. I remember you posting about eminent domain, so I suspected this might happen. Sorry to hear about you...

Re: Jacket
Just checked. It was Straycat that posted the custom jackets that I wanted. It was less than 2 years ago, so you guys might want to compare price/quality/options with another source.

Re: Jacket
Thanks to bolly and Jeff B for posting the jacket stuff. I remember seeing a pic of a bunch of custom jackets with someone's bike collection. Super cool, and I've wanted a custom jacket since then. Too much to deal with, and I just forgot about it. Until now! The bike-related designs are cool, but I...

Re: Jacket
I imagine there are a few different shops in the same country making these as I don’t recognize that particular name. Was just surprised to see the name of Bill Wilson's company on the jacket in the ad. He's a mechanic in the states that specializes on the RZ500. Maybe Bill bought a custom jacket, ...

Re: jackson.40
I think his last post was about 2 1/2 years ago.
He had over 2,300 posts on this site, and may have been the most knowledgeable person on the planet, with regard to the RZ500.
Someone has to know what happened.

Probably should have asked long ago, but what happened to jackson.40?
Haven't seen a post from him in years. Sad.

Re: How Are These Pipes Made?
There are some great fabricators out there, doing amazing things.
Actually, these pipes are one of the least amazing things about this bike.
