Hello all,
A newbie here. I bagged RZ350L - US model this weekend (I am in the UK) and I am just about to start the long and expensive project of making it presentable again. Will probably drive you all nuts with questions. Apologies in advance
Patrick

Thanks all. Just working out the very very long list of bits that I need. Already noticing that some parts appear quite scarce, so think this is going to be a frustrating few months ahead :-)

Welcome aboard...the fun is only just starting.! If you're lucky you won't be changing your mind too often about what you want to do with the bike..otherwise you really will need deep pockets. All you ever need on this forum. Paul

Welcome from a fellow newbie. I had a plan after collecting my RD250LC to ride it during the summer then do some tidying up and some upgrades over the winter but it seized on the way home. So am now rebuilding the engine but still hope to get some riding in this summer and will still do the planned tidying up in the winter. Deep pockets are needed but most parts are available.

I had hoped to ride mine too, but as an American import I need to MOT, register and insure it first - it won't pass MOT as it is and needs a fair bit of work, so I guess I am straight into strip down :-)

Welcome aboard Patrick. I reckon the frustrating few months is going to be trying to find the bits I need, then the build starts ...... lol
