Re: '77 Yamaha RD400 "Jigsaw Puzzle"
I'm in. Bought a new '75 or '76 while in the Navy stationed out of Charleston. Had CB400F bars installed by the dealer before I picked it up. Never had a single issue with it for 3 years, rode it home to Kentucky one weekend to vote. Never a problem with the 2 stroke vibration/buzz. Sold it before discharge, because I knew it would kill my young stupid @$$ on the mountain roads. Oh, how I loved it though. Felt like part of me with the shorter bars (had test drove an orange one with stock bars, and it felt like a dirt bike). Traded an RD250 in that half the people I knew took their license test on. Back then I never considered modifying it, was too happy riding it as it was. Now, thinking of the possibilities (and things like the tires available now), might just start watching for one myself.
