My $ 5.29 shipped EBay's finest Chinese RZ manual petcock arrived today. RZ started 1st kick cold 3rd time in a row
I gotta get me some brakes fixed and some tires ordered too...

Ordered some fork seals and a set of RD oil nozzles in case I decide to go with 28 round slide RD carbs at some point... Thanks John at Economy Cycle!!!

Stay in it when it comes on the pipe, no need to be scared...

the avon roadriders or the BT45 are the two most popular choices for the RZ350.
there are others of coarse.
just FYI.
cheers mark

I don't think you can go wrong with Roadriders, Tim. That's what's on my little DT100.

Farm work took most of the weekend and some long overdue honey do list crap...but I did manage to get the fairing off so I can lube the tach cable and prep to pull the front end off for the fork seal and progressive suspension springs.
I kinda like it nekid....

Goodie box from Economy arrived but a flat tire on the feed truck that I just paid last week to have fixed... It's going ( BACK TO THE TIRE PLACE) after a morning and early afternoon of hauling hay has prevented me from working on bikes
Progressive Springs and new seal are here, just no time. I will fit in a Manly Triple Ride or a Girly Bike Excursion later after tire repair.

Parts gathering continues. I just snagged a set of Spec II prepped 30 MM roundslides from my friend A1R John on ebay. He is making me a custom throttle cable with oil pump cable. The carbs already have oil nozzles and a place for vacuum even though I am losing the stock petcock.... forgot to order the new fork boots when I ordered the new springs and seals so I will be ordering them tomorrow...
I plan to pull the infernal EPA bridged stock carbs only 1 more time and bolt on the 30s...
