1977 Yamaha RD-400 - no reserve

This Bike is in nice condition. I bought it 3 years ago with a plan to do a complete ground up rebuild and I've done much of it.  However, too much time spent at work and a house with lots of work looks like I won't finish it for some time. Looks good with only some minor flaws (shown as well as I can). Stuff I've finished:

New Bridgestone tires

Powder coated frame

Almost all new all new rubber grommets including new seals on engine

New chain and sprockets

New oversize pistons and painted cylinders

New battery

I may be able to help deliver the bike based on location and timing- ask if you are interested.

The bike starts easily and runs very well. Everything works well except the 2 stroke oiling pump so I'm running premix and the rear brake master cylinder needs a rebuild. The pump is kinda hard to find but many people run premix and I haven't found any issues. The brake cylinder rebuild kit is $95 so, take that into account. Ready for daily use or and complete paint & freshening as I had planned- good luck
