KING OF BLING.

Well, what can I say, those who have been reading these project knows that the BLING factor is high!
So one thing I know, no one can steal my Mikuni RS36 set after I am done with them! :laugh:
They are easy to recognize!

I have two of those sets, but they are market differently, the oldest? one says:

T36 D3P.

The other set says:

T36 D3C.

Anyone who knows if there are any differences, or the history?

This is what they looked like, its no point polishing them up, for to repeat it again and again...The only cure is paint! (surprise?)

Ready for Gun-Kote.

From the oven.

Bling!

So now is left to build them up again with new gaskets, and new parts where its necessary.

Very Nice.
Why 36's rather than 34's ?

Thanks Mark!

Its a coincidence, when I bought the GPZ110 with the 1261cc Wiseco engine I got one set, and the other one did I buy used somehow cheap.

I reckon I would be better out with the 34mm on this engine. :huh:

leon your skills may be needed to copy these lol.

Roy, been trying to catch up on your thread...i need a few days off for all the pages! I'm a new member and in Norway. I moved to Bergen a few years ago from Texas. I have a '77 Martin with a 1000 motor...hope to start on the refurbishment in the next month. I put a pic of it in the intro section. I'm in Midtun, where are you? Hans

roy,i am always amazed at how well that black and gold look together.when you here(or at least me anyway's)black and gold i'm like "well i don't know"(skeptical)but then to see it is like "damn that looks good".keep up the good work man.
kano,i will have to wait to get home to see your pics(just gettin red x's here at work).but you know me if it is cool i'm probably game,hehe.

Welcome to the best Kawa site in the whole universe!


This is very exiting, that bike is nice!
Is that the same bike that where for sale earlier this winter?
I will send you an PM with my name and number, we need to stick together! There are not many of us here in this town!

billet frame brace first introduced as far as i know by moriwaki i think over-racing in japan do them now as well.

yup, that's the one. I got it from Finn Ulvang over in the Oslo area. He has an insane H2 he's building with modern supsension and whatnot. I hear there is a bike meet sometime this spring or summer he was telling me about, but I think geared mainly toward the 2 strokers( i have H1, H2 and Suz GT750 as well, but still in states) You'll have to come over for a beer sometime, just trying to finish new garage at the house!

MartinKZ:

Old two strokes are nice. :laugh:
I had a few Suzukies earlier, two GT750, and three T500.
I miss those GT750.

Yes, I have to check out your Kawa, a few beers sounds nice! :woohoo:
When are planning to bring over the other bikes then?
