They sound great! Now.... you need to bring one or both to the 20th annual Eastern 2 Stroke Meet May 5-12 and ride with several other RZ owners there. Deal’s Gap NC right at Tail of the Dragon at the DG Motorcycle Resort. Us 2 stroke nutters reserve all 14 rooms there for the entire week.

Thanks guys. It was nerve racking for sure. In the end it worked out.

Question on fuel lines. In particular, the line between the "T" and the petcock.

It looks like this line needs to be preformed (NA from Yamaha). There is 2 fairly serious bends in this line. It looks like an "S". I currently using Tygon, and the fairly sharp bends are semi-kinking the hose.

Any words of wisdom from the brain trust?

EDIT: Please ignore the above plea! I had the "T" clocked wrong. Now on to other issues!

Thanks Smoker!

I am not a videographer, that was just raw footage. It got the point across.

Another braintrust Question.

My seat is sacked out. I need at least new foam, and I might as well get a cover. WHo has the best foam & cover out there? I am not seeing anything that is real close to a stock cover so far...

I did a quick search and found foam and stock-looking seat covers on eBay.

What oil are you using? Premix or injector?
