Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Hi Paul,
Have been talking to Bill Wilson about EGT sensors, how are they working out. Would you be able to take couple of pictures
of the sensors and how far from the piston did you end up going.
RG500 looks great.
Cheers Ron.

Did you use imgur Paul?
Been trying to decide where to go for photo hosting.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Lovely looking bike Paul. You've done a fine job there.
Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Out for a blast early this morning to beat traffic and heat, Clocked up 260KM, 1 1/2 tanks of gas, Saucy little bike on gas!!!
Bike ran excellent, Really nice and fast through corners, Lots of dancing on the gears, Fun ride..

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
Little more progress, Stripped and cleaned and made up a nice set of clocks from various sets I have, Got the best of everything, also manged to salvage an original fame, the coating is in excellent shape after some cleaning and polishing, Brand new, holy grail foam surround..
Fitted the upper Turfrey pipes so I can measure and cut the tail and weld the silencer plate in place, These pipes are just beauts.
All the tanks, clocks, headlight, switches, brakes are bled and a bunch of other bits n bobs.
Kinda at a standstill for a bit till I get the bodywork back from paint.

Re: RZ500 and RZV500 restore and rebuild
I always envy your progress Paul. You get so much done and so quickly. I always wondered how, and now that I see your trip meter reading I see you've had help

Sorry to hear about the RG!
Work on the RZV looks great. Love those check valves.
