Black bike in the far back of this pic up against the Garage door. Looks to me sort of like a Suzuki GT185 Twin but the cylinder/ head fins don't match images  from my search. Looks like you can make out the GT emblem on the side cover? What say you??

Check your fuse box connections. If you still have the factory original fuse box, they are notorious for flaking out. In that case, wire in a new repop one or convert to a blade type box.

Like M in SC, I am so impressed by your work ethic and drive to get things done quickly and correctly. I'm gonna guess that you are much younger than the median age of members here?  :huh:   :eek:  :whistle: I'm thinking you may have both RZs completed before the end of March!  :olaf:  :thumbs:

That looks to be exceptionally :thumbs:  nice! You'd be hard pressed to find another in like or better condition. I sometimes miss my Banshee but it was a police magnet for test n tune.  :smiley:  :gentleman:  Enjoy but be safe too.

^ Yes, that's the port on the carb for the oil injection line. Looks like you'll need to replace/ repair that damaged and short brass carb nipple. Your other carb will have a similar port.
