Well done John and enjoy :smt023

Oh and finally had the seat unit done and I will weigh both to compare and send you a picture of both if your still in the market for one?
Yes VIN, please do. I'll PM you my email when you're ready.

If Big Guy is still interested it would be beneficial for us to ship both units together and share the cost. Either to him or to me. We're 5 hours apart, but I'm sure we can work that out.

Hope your hands have healed nicely.

Thank you sir!

John

First fully restored bike to roll out of the new shop :cool:

Canadian spec 2ME. #33 of the very limited Canadian production run. Complete frame off restoration. Stripped to its very smallest components.

That is really sharp. How do you find the riding position compared to your other 2 strokes?

Nice work! that's a good lookin bike. That particular red laddering paint scheme is my favorite one. I think it is also on some of the FZ 750's and FZR 400's.

These TZRs are small and very light Russ, so quite agile. Almost like a rocket sled on rails. The fit is more like wearing it than sitting on it.
