Island Classic 2019
Wilderness racing attended the Island classic again this year
under the Ron Angel Classic racing Umbrella. With
Peter of Promecha looking after the suspension on
the TZ350 he had fitted a new shock and some brand
new “Pro Valves” into the front forks. These fork
cartridges are made totally in house at Promecha,
they give the bike a whole new feel, making the TZ
350 a pleasure to ride. After a couple of sessions
on Thursday to dial in the new suspension we knew we
were on the right track. With qualifying on Friday
we put it on pole position with a 1:49 lap not bad
for a 1979 350.
We were first race up Saturday morning and led from start to
finish getting down to 48s even with lacking a bit
of speed due to a head wind. Race 2 after a few
more tweaks under Peter's instructions we got down
to 47s also taking the win. Race 3 we maintained our
pace with a 1:47:3 winning by a convincing 13 secs.
Race 4 we brought it home with another string of 47s
and won by over 18secs almost getting the lap
record, missed it by 0.08 secs, so close, maybe next
year.
In the process of having a perfect run, winning our class,
we also got awarded the prestigious Phil Irving
Trophy.
I can not thank Peter enough for all the excellent work and
great advice over the years, he has developed this
tz350 from an evil handling motorcycle into a proper
grand prix bike which is a pleasure to ride fast.
Thank you Peter and Trish of Promecha |

Bike lowering is done internally (front and rear) to maintain handling characteristics. How much a bike can be lowered before handling and safety become an issue is dependent on bike design and application.
For info on your particular make and model call for advice on 03 9560 2770.

Note: The lowering process is reversible, should you wish to change it back in the future.
