Finally have my unicorn at home, a 1984 Yamaha RZ500. I made the deal for it years ago with my friend, sight unseen as it was buried in his garage (next to a 1941 Indian 4, made an offer on that when we pulled the RZ out). I was finally able to talk him into letting me pull it out. The RZ is missing some parts which may or may not be elsewhere in the garage, or at the old shop. My question is are there parts that will fit from other Yamaha's as the parts book shows RZ500 (47X) specific parts.
The parts in question are:
47X-84721-11 LENS, Taillight
47X-847232-00 GASKET, Tail Lens
47X-23340-01-39 UNDER BRACKET COMP (lower triple)
47X-24602-00 CAP ASSY (gas cap)
47X-24560-00 FILTER ASSY (fuel outlet from tank to petcock)
47X-24773-01-98 HANDLE, seat (rear grab rail)
Pics attached of the recovery and as uncovered. Bodywork was in boxes minus fasteners, and in really bad shape. For having less than 4600Km it led a hard life. It was shipped in pieces from New Zealand and reassembled in another mentor's shop. Was ridden hard on and off the track until it was parked at my friend's house.
