Re: Yamaha rd350 road racer
This is a GREAT idea! Indeed, I have done this very thing myself. Do yourself a favor though - make the center point of all your adjustability based on the stock kinematics. In other words, do the simple step of measuring the stock crank arms and levers and build your trial set with these ratios as your mid point. I expect would likely discover as I did, that you can spend a lot of time fooling around with adjustments if you just do a dart throw. If you start with a known scheme it is much easier to make changes with a purpose. You may also find that having the adjustability has an even more valuable use than getting the function to be good: Having good adjustability likely will make it possible to alter the ergonomics for a much more comfortable and therefor much more functional set up.
