Why do you run a tube in the RZ wheel, Tim?

We're out here cheering for ya Chris 

I heard about a new shovel design about to come to market...it's going to be truly groundbreaking.

Looks like a sweetheart; I sure like the disc.

Looks just like Max's

Russ, Partzilla has my number for sure!
I have been acquiring parts for this build lately, and mulling over some decisions, such as rebuild vs. replace crankshaft, or just run the one I have. Most of you will approve of my decision:



New assembly from Norbo via a member on the RD/RZ site. Bottom end cleaning and assembly can begin, and then I can figure out what to do with my cylinders...and head...

All good points. A surface plate is on my list of tools or resources I'd like to have for checking flatness, lapping and precision measurement, but damn, good stuff is expensive! Much like parts and services for these motorcycles, right? I saw a pallet with granite scraps available for my favorite price and my little wheels started turning. Maybe I'll just grab a piece and check it out.

Nice clamp, nice TZ and nice engine collection!

I'm not your man, but I wish I was. I think I know who can do it, and I hope he steps up...it's an honor to be nominated, right?
That's a beautiful part, and I hope you get some made!

Those wheels are bitchin' cool

I noticed a local granite countertops place has some free scraps available; any chance that stuff is flat? smooth? enough to use as a surface plate? Too good to be true, I imagine.

Great find; you're going to have a bunch of fun with that

Makes Mark's cornbinder dream seem more affordable!

No good deed goes unpunished! Hope the leak didn't ruin your paint work, and good luck with the repair. Nanu-Nanu.
