    Installing RD400 tank on RD350, how? I believe I need mounts?

    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?

    Gun Blueing the Gas Tank - Updated - Finshed with Pictures

    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).

    RD250/350 - Where do these cables go?

    Hi, So I was cleaning my RD and noticed that these cables don't attach anywhere. Is this how it is supposed to be? They are the neon cables that are coming out of the carbs. I apologize for my continued noobiness, but I did scour the service manual and did a search before I decided to post...

    BIG MISTAKE: RD250 Build By A Newbie *Help Me Grow Up!*

    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...

    If the Speedometer is not working or lags, could it end up being a big issue?

    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

    CB360T Smooth in Low and High End, Bogs/Hiccups in Mid End, Suggestions?

    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...
