This was my first motorcycle build. I decided I needed a light weight motorcycle to hang on the back of the motorhome... I bought a professionally rebuilt engine with a frame and several boxes of parts. I didn't know what an RD350 was until I got into it. The bike in the pictures is what happened. It worked as a grocery getter BUT..... I'm 63 years old and I have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground. I like the feel of a powerful 2 stroke but..... my "tearing up the streets" days are over So, the engine is fresh, maybe 1000 miles. I rebuilt carbs, charging system, ignition, new front tire, chain, brakes, new battery, led blinkers and tail light, halogen head light, whatever I needed to. I didn't bother installing the oil pump, so it uses pre mix gas. You can have the pump and all my other parts with the bike. It's a dependable fun bike for a younger man than me, I'm now building a custom BSA that will be too heavy for the motorhome, but a little more tame cruiser...... I could try remembering everything I did while building this thing, but would rather answer specific questions. Ask a question and I will post the answers for all to see. Not looking forward to building a crate and shipping but if you're persuasive enough, I might..... |
