RZ/RD 350 & Misc. 2-Stroke Tech BBS

Fair play Ken, riding across the grass. I remember working the Suzuki stand at the Foxhill Motorcross Des Nations 25 years back and having to get the bikes out. Busas and GSXRs with road tyres didnt like the deep and sticky mud lol. My mate who was running the stand was an ex trails champion and rid...

Wonderful on so many levels.

Well done on documenting this, loved it!

Loving getting to use those big tools, really exciting to have so much power available.

Thanks Ken. R1 parts have gone through the roof the past few years as the 00/01 bikes became classics. Nice low milage gauges are in demand, Im sure you'll have no problem selling. I hate to think what I have in this set of parts considering all the shipping from round the world, but it needs to go ...

Over the years Ive collected a bunch of parts to do the 2000/2001 R1 dash conversion for our bikes. IMHO this is a much nicer dash than an aftermarket and of course, its OEM Yam.
