Haus of Projects / RZ350 Restoration '84 Red/White/Blue
December 18, 2020, 10:57:48 PM
I picked up another project.  Been looking for a decent RZ350 in the Red and White scheme.  Didn't really want a project, but luck would have that the Craigslist addiction twisted my arm and I ended up with a project.  However, it wasn't the project I went to originally look at.  The seller listed a runner with a title not too far from me.  It was a little steep on the price, but decided to go look anyway.  Come to find out the seller had a second complete RZ (not running) and a spare motor.  I got interested in the spare motor, but the seller didn't want to split up.  He ended up selling the CL bike that was listed and took down the ad.  I texted him somehow the "other" bike and spare motor jumped in the back of the truck.  The spare motor happens to be the numbers matching to the frame of the bike, completely rebuilt with receipts (never run), and ported (more inspection needed on this).

So the complete RZ comes with 2 sets of body parts, gauges, and tanks.  All usable, nothing perfect.  One set of fairings and tank have been painted some scheme that I think sucks because I want it original paint and decals. 

I decided to tear the bike completely down to start the restoration process.  Here is the bike as I got it.  The incorrect coil, wiring rats nest, and other issues were free of charge.

Haus of Projects / RD350 Board Tracker

I started this thread on the old board, but never got to show the final product.  It was a fun and challenging build.  Not the best from a ride-ability perspective, but gets a lot of attention.

worth a read for the comic value alone.  Not a 2-stroke, but I got a kick out of it. :taz: :metal:

Here's the write up...

Look, we both know that summer is the time to do awesome shit and I'm sure you're cool as fuck; you're looking at motorcycles on fucking Craigslist, but are you as cool as you could be? Lets be real here if you're still looking then there's room in your life for a motorcycle (or maybe a second) and this is the one for you. Lemme tell you why: Spoked wheels, Kreiga saddle bags, frame sliders, power commander, SC project exhaust and a shit ton of Rizoma bull shit make this a bike to behold. Regardless of whether you smoke, vape, or juice, this little velocipede will make you look as cool as you deserve. With only 8000 miles on the clock there's plenty of room for you to rack up some of your own. Tires are fresh at about 6500 miles last year.

You might be asking yourself, "this guy seems cool though too so why is he selling this?" I bought this bike as an anniversary gift for my ex-wife and I've got too much in common with it now because she doesn't want to ride either of us these days so all we do is sit in the garage together and cry. This bike deserves better than that.

Buy it. Ride it. Make it your own.
