84 RZ350…
The good…
1989 Suzuki GSXR 750 forks
FZR600 front wheel
FZR1000 disk and calipers
FZ600 swingarm
GXSR 400 Rear wheel
The bad…
Needs a crank. Vito’s comes highly recommened by Ed Erlanbach as he runs them in all his Bonneville bikes. The price is right as well
Cylinders are 0.5mm past their maximum overbore and are shagged. You will need 31k’s so used cylinders will need to be sourced from the UK, and it’s probably not for the faint of heart. 48h’s may work in a pinch. I wouldn’t recommend 1UA’s
You will need a rear wheel from either the later GSXR 400 or an RGV250 VJ22 or VJ23 as Pirelli stopped making 150 tires. These wheels will let you run 160’s
I have current ownership and most of the parts to get you on the road if you want to go that route. It’s also SORN’ed so you can get a UK ownership
Consider reasonable offers or trade for a modern 300-400 that is SOAR and/or SuperSeries legal.
