I am starting on a new project this week that will be super-fun! This RZ500 is owned by a client who is trying to create a road legal replica of Kenny Robert’s last GP bike. So we have some pictures from the Yamaha museum in Japan that will serve as guides for the paint. As you can see, the gas tank is not original- it is hand made out of aluminum and has the oil tank mounted under the front instead of in the left upper like the street RZ. The fairings are race glass and currently painted in spray can enamel which will require lots of sanding to remove. Check back daily for more updates…
