Thanks alot gentlemen, I have alot of little things to get done. The show came up quick so it was clean enough for it. The seat will have paint, the batt box built and under seat(hidden), Forks rebuilt, rear piggy-back shocks, and aluminum rims(not sure what kind), and graphics on side of tank.

Damn those little one-longers look sexy. Good looking bike and i am sure you got big plans for it later.

Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Basement Build Very nice job.....I like how it has nice clean lines. The seat and tank should line up nice w/ paint (optical illus) and also rounding the seat side to tank can give it the illusion too. Anyways, looks very clean and silent till you open it up. Nice build.
