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

Thanks and welcome back! Funny thing, I just saw that kickstand for the first time a couple of days ago. The ad said something about not using it on soft ground - I can see why. Too bad it doesn't have a larger footprint. It's definitely a blingy-type item. I think the added footprint would make fo...

Doubt I'll make the show this year. :(

What show?

here are a few pictures of the start of my project from several years ago. The first pic is of a Hawk framed RZ350 racer. The last 3 are for another board. it's about how much room there is in the frame for other V-twins. The engine in the 2-stroke pics is a Banshee engine I got for free to check th...

Are they any good? I will probably end up ditching them anyway but it is nice to know what I have. I have most of the stuff need to build my own expansion chambers... Just need the software to plot em right.

So I brought home my donor RZ for my project last night. I am not real familiar with the RZ so I have a question about the exhaust. I was told the exhaust was stock but looking at it I dont see any yamaha stamps or part #s. The are however stamped (on the expansion chanbers) with "FACTORY EXHAU...

Thank ya much Steve!

I ask because the frame I am stuffing my RZ engine into will allow a straight manifold :-D Cool deal.

Thanks
