Matty's RZ500

#1 Post by Matty » Thu Jan 03, 2008 3:09 am

I purchased this bike back in 2000. It had 11,000 km's on the clock with the engine untouched. Later came some suspension upgrades and some minor engine mods to increase hp.

-'91 RGV complete front end resprung and revalved.
-'99 R6 modified swingarm and caliper.
-Original rear shock fitted with remote reservoir for compression dampening
and resprung with a 20kg/mm spring.
'90 GSXR rear wheel.
-Custom rear brake disc.
-Gell battery.
-Jolly Moto pipes.
-MFactoryWest carbon cans.
-520 chain conversion.

Nice one Matty,

In my opinion you have one of the best examples on this forum, its modern, functional & still looks like a stock RZ500 at first glance, then the trained eye starts noticing all the changes you have made. Well done!
The only thing I don't like is the long top mufflers, but this is just me, not a criticsm.
If I were to modify my old girl, we would follow your path.

I think your bike should be in 'The Out Front Section' of this forum.

Kind regards,

Craig

Hey that's a realyl sharp looking bike! I like what you done and how clean it looks as a RZ500 It sits really well! it just has that clean look with a lot of new up grades. Really nice eye catching bike! Man the bike even looks fast just sitting there. Hard to see that in some. Congrats!!
