85 RZ350 restoration
Hi guys, New member here,
Ive been browsing and lurking the board for a while and thought id throw up a few pics of my latest project, I bought it in a box, Tore it all down, Powder coated everything and rebuilt the motor, New main gear shaft and 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, Crank rebuily, bore out with wiseco pistons, Every bearing, seal and gasket replaced, I ported the ports and cleaned up the transfers, skimmed head, I have 3 sets of carbs, 32mm Mikunis, 34mm Flatslides and the PWK28's. I'm going to run the PWK 28's for now, easy to set up, KN filters, Toomey exhausts,
this is my 6th YPVS, also had 3 500's over the years, Wish I had kept at least one of them,,, Oh well....

Welcome tacky1.
You do a very nice work. A lot of attention to detail. Really looks great.
Are those decals that you put on the clock faces? Where are they from?
Thanks.

Re: 85 RZ350 restoration
Thanks Kpke, They are decals, I got them from Ebay, Popped off the needles and the needle stoppers, Sanded the faces and stuck them on with a little heat, Really nice quality...
The seller is excellent, Lots of help and tips to get them on there perfectly.. :)

Re: 85 RZ350 restoration
thanks for that
Did you inquire about getting these in mph rather than kph? (not sure where you are located, maybe you need kph???)

Re: 85 RZ350 restoration
Yep, I'm going to change to MPH, I didn't realize I bought KPH decals till I had them in my hand,
So I just ordered a set of MPH from here..
