I'm building my RD250 right now and this gives me some serious inspiration. Amazing work, sir. What type of ignition system are you running?

Hey guys! I've been tooling around a little bit on my 1975 RD250. I'm looking to eliminate my side covers by installing a round oil tank and eliminating the battery all for that clean look. Is there a way to eliminate the battery from the bike? a different ignition system? Is there a way to...

your bike would look great with those tires!!!!!! :o

Re: 1972 Yamaha R5 350 "A Clockwork Orange" this bike is looking GREAT!

i bet that gets expensive! i actually just got gas for my welder last week, mainly for this project. I go to school for autobody, so i can practice welding whenever i need too. That way i dont have to use my gas and wire ;)

thanks! ;D
