So, superior horsepower AND handling all in one bike. :D

think im going to go w/an rz motor. this bikes too straight to cut up.... would have to pull the frame rails in about .50" to get the h1 head pipes to clear comfortably. :roll:

Maybe I'm too late here, but what about this?? :shock:

I found this pic on the net quite a while ago. Not sure where it's from or who the owner/builder is. :?:

I think this might be a RZ350 frame with a Triple mill. I know this one had my juices flowing a couple of years ago. Enough so, that I bought a non-runner RZ with the thought of doing just that! :) I eventually came to my senses and sold the RZ (too many projects to have at one time!), but this idea still intrigues me! :o

Thats's Joops bike. I think its a hybrid of RZ frame and triple frame.. I know he did an RZ frame with H2 engine, but it required a few "unorthodox" mods getting the downtubes to clear the exhaust.

Good choice keeping the RZ whole, just a sweet gap bike. Luv the LC/H1. Holy cow I thought I had a tight fit with the H2 engine in the KH400 frame. Looks like the gas tank edge drops in between the fins...wow.
