I would have if I had a bigger piece of material to start with, plus I only have limited use of the plasma machine since I don't work there anymore.L.B wrote:You know,you could sell a few of those mounts,Id be up for 1 or 2,very nice install.

Re: My completed 85 RZ hybrid project
This build brings back a lot of memories. Inspiring to say the least.
Makes me want to pick up my RZ crates and get back to work.

Just a short video of the first startup after installing the Koso EGT gauges. Needs a bit of jetting work, but I still love the sound!

Re: My completed 85 RZ hybrid project
Yeah, I've got a little bit of tuning to do. I think it may be as simple as adjusting the air screws. Right now they are turned out the same on both. But as I've learned, each side seems to run just a little different. Once I get it on the road the temps seem to equal out.JonW wrote:sounds lovely to me too. right cyl defo getting hotter than the left, or the left not getting hot enough lol. :)

Re: My completed 85 RZ hybrid project
A very tastefully done enhancement but, did I miss seeing an earlier post, have you put it on a weigh scale?

Re: My completed 85 RZ hybrid project
Yes, your bike sounds fantastic. (I guess it looks okay too. )
Do you have any photos of the bung install on the pipes?
Do you do your own SS welding or farm it out?

Re: My completed 85 RZ hybrid project
Yes, I do all my own welding and fabricating. The bungs I got are mild steel, so I had to use a 309L filler rod for dissimilar metals.kpke wrote:Yes, your bike sounds fantastic. (I guess it looks okay too. )

Here's a few pics I took today after work.

Nice work!
how hard was it to measure the 6inches from the piston crown?

I took a measurement while the pipes were off using a machinist ruler inside the exhaust spigot to a reference point on the outside of the spigot. That gave me a point to continue from to get the 6" they call for in the setup of the probes. Hope that makes sense.
