BHPian SnS_12 recently shared this with other enthusiasts: It’s a wrap (99.9%) A journey which began in May the buying part and then the second journey of rebuilding the RZ 350 which started in September when the bikes were moved to my friends place. These past few months have really been a challenging but fun rebuild. Researching and sourcing of parts has been the biggest challenge as this is the first time ever that I have rebuilt a bike to the exact factory spec both cosmetically and mechanically. The final missing bits the plastic cover for the horn bracket and the chain guard arrived few days back and were sourced via Eddie. I got them shipped directly to India and this time got charged customs as well. But, this is what happens with such rebuilds where no matter how much you plan you still end up ordering more parts. Now, the only part left to go on the bike is the rear grab rail, which should hopefully be carried back to Mumbai next month.

That is why only OE stuff looks good Another mounting point Front view Back view Inside view Horn bracket Warmup time for the Daytona and getting the 848 ready for its annual service Chain guard fitted on the bike Looks great No splashing of oil on the rims now From the other side Horn bracket goes on as well Two different twin cylinders Believe it or not the amount the RZ has costed me to buy and do it up is enough to buy me two EVO’s and a R15 My four bikes in one frame. Three different RD’s Time to visit the seat doctor Don’t miss the tool tray just behind the tank Condition of the seat 44 years of history on this View of a shiny bike An orange reflector for now as for some reason there were no red ones available What a key tag. Just Love it… Checking the fitment before the cover goes on Seat cover goes on A good seat can elevate the look of the bike totally Top view Comes home finally With it’s forever garage mates Waiting for its first long ride and the big reveal to the family who have no idea its already parked down Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
