Beautiful 1974 Yamaha RD350A.
These are my favorite bikes to restore, and this is my fifth, and I think the prettiest one yet. I bought the bike from its previous owner who had started fixing it up. He had the top end rebuilt and never got any farther, so the pistons, rings and bore are new and has to be broken in. Here's what I've done: The tank has been cleaned and sealed with Caswell, then repainted professionally to as close a match to the original Ruby candy color as possible, I think it looks better, a little less purple. It's a three stage finish. First it was primed, then painted silver, then the Ruby over that, decals applied, then clear coated. That's all painted parts including the tank, side covers, headlight ears and bucket. All gauges, lights, indicators work as they should. No dents or scratches from having been down on either exhaust pipe. And the head pipes don't have rust. The baffles have been taken out, burned clean, brushed then replaced. New chain and sprockets New tires, tubes and rim strips, IRC of the correct size. Tires mounted, trued and balanced by Woody's Wheel Works in Denver New seals where they usually leak; shifter shaft, clutch rod, and kickstarter. No leaks. All cables cleaned and lubed, working as they should. New Master Cylinder, new seals in the front caliper, new brake hoses and pipes, so the brakes are good to go. Carbs cleaned, re-jetted to stock spec for sea level. I bought it from a guy who lived at altitude so it would have been too lean for lower altitudes. New Uni Filter air filter. New Y boot between the carbs and airbox. New Seat Cover AND Foam. Steering stem bearings cleaned and greased. Rear Swing Arm taken apart, cleaned and greased. Replaced goofy grease fittings with Zerk fittings so you can use a regular grease gun when needed. The original headlight bulb worked but looked like it had moisture in it and the lense wasn;t shiny anymore. I found a unit at Steele's Motorcycle Salvage out of a different bike that takes a 35/35 watt H4 halogen bulb that fit in the holder perfectly. I just had to modify the adjuster so the left-right adjuster would work, and it does. So the light looks stock, is brighter, and there's only a bulb to replace when it fails. The original sealed beams aren't made anymore and on ebay they go for over a hundred dollars. This is brighter and costs less than $10 to replace the bulb. I also fit a plug for a Battery Minder to the battery and out the frame so it's easy to hook up to the battery tender of your choice when you're not riding it everyday. I just finished it and have only ridden it around my neighborhood so far. I'll continue to ride it until it sells, speeding along the break in process. |
