Re: Modifed RZ - '83 with RGV, Brembo, Zeel & other parts
Oh, thats interesting Ian, I will do that with the bits ive not yet used. I actually did notice that some of the stuff I had done previously at another place is darker than the new stuff when i got this home. Im wondering if that is losing its shine as its been a bit damp in the shed at times this winter, or if its just a different chemical setup. hmm...
Rob, $120. This place can do a postal service from what I read if thats useful to you?

Actually the guy you want to talk to is Chris, he runs a sub company inside Elite that deals with people like us, rather than companies wanting 30tonnes of widgets plating at a time, its called Metal Restos:
metalrestos.com / 0431200361 / http://m.me/metalrestos" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Talk to Chris directly, he is the guy who will do the work.

Along with a bunch of other bits Ive bought a NOS seat for this project, here it is pictured with my newly acquired nos 1XG (Aussie F2) seat.

Re: Modifed RZ - '83 with RGV, Brembo, Zeel & other parts
yeah, its been an expensive month for sure... but in my defence I figured that I got an 'ok' deal on them and when I factored in the fact that with a new aftermarket seat cover over an 30+yr old rotted foam I felt I'd be missing one of the 'touch points' on 2 of my restos, plus Ive just been playing with my LC resto seat, with cleaned up plastic, plated mount bolt plate and latches coupled with a new aftermarket foam and a 'silly rare' nos cover I realised Id spent pretty much the same on that one and it wasnt even all 'new OEM' and its taken ages to get those parts and the cover isnt even fitted yet, whereas uncle Yam did these. no brainer.
One of the amusing things Ive noticed about these seats is that the original latch parts have a nickle plated solid latch but bright zinc springs... you just cant replicate that :/

Re: Modifed RZ - '83 with RGV, Brembo, Zeel & other parts
Grabbed another NOS part when I saw it locally. While you can still buy these LC2 rear lights new from Yamaha this one was at a local wrecker who had bought a bunch of stuff from an old guy who had sheds full of NOS Yamaha parts... and no he wouldnt share who or where the guy was. :(

Re: Modifed RZ - '83 with RGV, Brembo, Zeel & other parts

Re: Modifed RZ - '83 with RGV, Brembo, Zeel & other parts
After doing the carbs for the 251LC as I had to look them out and work out what I had available, especially as I sold/gave away a lot of my 250 parts a few years back. hmm... Anyway, with that work in mind I pulled out the 31K carbs I had for this bike and decided to do a 'balls out' clean and refurb so they were ready for use.
Ive mentioned elsewhere but im sending away the idle screws to be re zinc'd, Ive found a source for the small o rings, while new whole idle screws can be had with them fitted for about US$6, im saving US$12+postage a set if i can make this work and I have 3 sets at least to do :)
So as these stand now Ive found all the correct OEM jets in my spares and only had to buy one 240 main. It seems every time I buy a used carb set they come with 185's fitted... what on earth would run on those LC/RZ wise in a 31k carb?
So, another cleaned up piece of the puzzle. :)
