New Bike in the stable....well at least parts of one

I just picked up a partially restored 1982 Yamaha RD350LC. My van is filled with a dissasembled motorcycle. Now the fun begins. I hope to get it looking like new over the net few months...wish me luck!

Good luck with that project. I have been looking for one, where did you find it? They seem to be pretty rare. Your in for a treat.

There seem to be a few available around here lately. I actually had a couple to choose from.

Cool! Great bikes, I lusted after the RD400 in high school...

Keep us posted, I'm interested to see your progress.

...as an aside, I just brought home a buddy for my RR too, a Suzuki DR650. Super fun!!

Just an update...

Bike is a rolling chassis now. Wiring harness and the tail piece has been installed. Brake light and signal lights are installed and working. I need to start working on cleaning up the tank, side covers and fenders for painting next.

At some point I need to replace all the engine seals and then cross my finders and hope it runs.
