Yamaha R5 description

I have for sale my fully restored 1972 Yamaha R5 for sale. This is a fairly rare motorcycle, made for three years. This is the precursor to the Yamaha RD350. This is a very unique 350cc two stroke, and is quite fun to ride. 

Specifics:
• Frame off rebuild
• Frame repaint
• All body panels/tank repainted blue (non-original, but very nice)
• All original badging
• All chrome fully polished including wheels
• Forks/drum brakes polished as well
• New battery
• New foam, and seat cover with passenger strap
• New tires with about 150 miles
• New wheel bearings
• New chain
• NOS rear sprocket
• Fully rebuilt carbs
• Engine was disassembled and all crank seals were replaced. Internals were in great shape
• New plugs
• New coils from HVC cycle

There may be a few specifics I'm forgetting at this point; however, this bike has been fully gone through and works great.

I found this in a pile of boxes a little over a year ago, and it was my full intention to enjoy restoring this beauty, and putting it up for sale - and my fiance is making sure I stick to the original plan.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions - 330-321-8664 or jbows51@gmail.com. I am at the moment installing new coils, as the originals just didn't cut it.

Thanks!
