Here's some of my RallyMoto action that's taken me away from building the RD. http://youtu.be/tQj7o1irWPs

Re: RD400 'Motopaika' Yeah that's right, I'm resurrecting this thread and my attendance on DTT. I ended up taking a hiatus on the RD and the vintage bike thing in general for a little while. I've been riding a lot of off road and building my DRZ400 to run some NASA RallyMoto events. I've had...

Yeah you're a little ways away from Little Rhody man lol

Selling my 1994 FZR600 with 20,000 miles, however has been completely torn down and rebuilt, so is tight and runs like a top. Winter before last it went through a complete rebuild as it suffered from the typical popping out of 2nd gear problem. I got a low mileage gear set and sent it to APE...

I posted one quick pic in the 'latest purchase' thread, but I thought I'd throw up a couple more. Brought this home last night and already fitted some brush guards on the bars and clear indicators. This is going to be my adventure bike and will be getting some armor, better seat, large fuel...

First destination will be mount Washington in May which is a weekend trip, then later in the year up through VT/NH to Montreal, past Montreal to the Tremblant area, then over to Quebec city, and back down.

Bought this tonight. 9 years old with only 1000 miles on it. It's going to get some good adventure bits and armor and ridden all over the map.

Re: RD400 'Motopaika' I started fitting up the seat to the frame and tank. It's going to be a little more challenging than I thought, but we'll get it sorted. The tough part now is deciding to mod the standard oil tank of do a complete fab of one similar to a seeley. The fill neck is going to...

That damper is outta control. Looking great man.

The place near me typically charges a lot charge of $150 for prep and one layer of powder. Just make sure that they don't sandblast or paint any critical surfaces (i.e. bearing races, rotor hat faces, swing arm pivot holes, etc. etc.)

So beautiful. So Classic.

Looks like Keirin riders on a velodrome. I imagine they bet on them the same way.

Re: RD400 Rebuild Round Two Handsome machine my friend.

I think you should get it running, leave it all banged up, then cruise around the shoreline with a Corona t-shirt and flip flops on picking up chicks in total squid glory.

Adopted her and picked her up yesterday. German Shepherd/Greyhound mix. Once she warms up to us better she'll make a good shop dog lol Lana by TMK84, on Flickr Lana by TMK84, on Flickr Lana by TMK84, on Flickr

Check out http://www.shapeways.com/ They can print in various materials including metal. You send them your model, they send you your part.

Hey, to each his own! lol

What material are you going to rapid prototype that out of?

Due to a shipping SNAFU I have a seccond Seeley MK2 seat from TGA in France. http://www.tga.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_27 It's no RocCity, but it's a pretty nice seat for the price and I'm pleased with the quality. I'm using the other one on my RD400 build. I still need to pay for this...

Just so you know that taillight is pretty much useless as far as safety is concerned. I had it on a build I was working on and you could barely see it in the daytime. I got rid of it because it was like having no brake light at all.
