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

These part are different. I have a 1983 RZ350. The thing is that you can get a dull/low polish surface by sanding to high grit or by polishing a rough surface (bead blast). For my RZ350, I am sanding with high grit, then polishing, so I will have a nice mirror surface. I am not looking to obtain the OEM finish.

I think the link confused you as it was predominantly LC related but if you read down you would see that I also was asking about the 83-85 parts at the same time. No matter tho, your parts your build. And, yes I had assumed you were after an OEM finish from what you did and said earlier and see now I was wrong. my bad.

I am curious too about the OEM finish even if I am not going that route. From the steps I described, to me the one that looks the closest to OEM finish is the one with 2000 grit (by memory). The 2000 grit was not my final step as I go for a full polished surface, kind of mirror finish (for this particular project).

From the link you provided, one said:

"As far as I'm aware, it's just the faces that have that alloy 'brushed' look".

This is inline with what I recall from the OEM finish on the parts I had initially. I remember seing unidirectional lines in the aluminum with a dull (not mirror) finish. I should have taken close up picture of these parts before restoring them.

I am looking for M10 X 1.25 socket heat bolts in stainless steel of various lengths. Anyone know where I can order those?

The standard at every store is M10 1.50... the RZ350 uses fine tread for the M10.

Thanks for advices.

Pro bolt has them
