I'm going to install my RD400 tank on the RD350 and remember that someone mentioned that you have to add mounting points onto the RD350 frame, however I cannot find the post. Does anyone have any pictures of what type of mounts and where to put them on the frame?
I'm going to powdercoat my wheels, I saw some cheap (made in thailand) aluminum wheels on eBay, which would pretty much equal the cost of powdercoat...
Has anyone every tried using gun blue on a gas tank? How did it turn out?
I'm tempted to try it for that raw gunmetal look.
[update] I finally bit the bullet and just did it. Here's a couple of pics, more to follow soon. Overall, I'm happy with it, but wouldn't do it again (too much work).
Hi,

And for...
I think I've made a mistake, as someone who knows nothing of these old bikes and is not mechanically inclined what-so-ever, I shouldn't have been so ambitious. Somehow I caught the bug, navigating through Do The Ton I saw so many beautiful builds from scratch that I got motivated to try it...
Or is it just a matter of replacing the cables.
Sorry about the newbiness of my posts, I'm just starting out.
I already downloaded some shop manuals and went through them, but I am not the most mechanically inclined to say the least.
Model: Yamaha RD350
I have a question regarding a CB360T I am thinking about buying as a platform. It will be my first classic bike and I want to make sure it isn't going to be "too much" of a hassle in terms of the engine.
I'm going from a modern, fuel injected, sportsbike and have only dealt with carbs briefly...
