Yamaha RD350, 1973

1973 Yamaha RD350

Cafe Racer. Nicely handling bike. Amazingly fast for a 350ccm bike.

Survivor has been gone through, estored, nd built back to running and driving condition.

A lot of restoration work has gone into this bike. Changed from original to a cafe racer style. A lot of lbs taken off. Battery moved to the rear hoop.

New tires were put on the bike. Frame was powder coated black but has some chips already. The rest stripped to bare metal painted with gold tone paint and clear coat finish. The chrome is in good condition for it's age but some rust is coming through.

Good front and rear brake (master cylinder new + extra rebuild kit if needed in the future), aliper freshly rebuild, /p>

Starts first, econd kick cold or hot. Currently on new set of "Keihin" pwk style carburetors for better low and mid torque with DG pipes. Properly jetted with pod airfilters. Other set of factory "Mikuni" carburetors included. Mikunis might need some work and rejetting before putting back on. Extra jets included /see last photo/. They were running pretty decent when taken off, owever would have to be checked if not too lean for DG pipes and cones. The lights have been wired to an on/off switch on the right handle bar. If you require directionals you'll have to hook them up. Rear led combo lamp with directionals/break/license plate/ driving lights on the bike. Rear break switch is not there. Good one included but not installed. Please keep in mind this is a 42 year old bike even though it runs and drives good it will need attention and adjustments.

These kind of bikes have an endless list of things that can be done to improve, ersonalize to ones preference. The yellow silicone bushings in the last photo were meant to go underneath the seat to give it a better support, nbsp;especially if a passenger is to be riding the bike. I'm including them with the bike. The seat latch is original but the lock is not there. Gas tank lock is not there. Will have to be added. Leaving this little staff to the new owner.

This is a fun and fine bike for a right person. You will be surprised how good this bike handles. How light and quick it is.

It is currently registered and inspected and legal on the street till 2016. Clean title in hand.
