just another RD400 project

You are welding in another tab for the bottom mount right?

 

[mrpoopman]

No making a bracket that ties into the bolt for the rear set

 

[VonYinzer]

Ok, as long as its permanently affixed to something. Dont mean to ask silly questions, but I've seen some silly things here. Ha...

 

[mrpoopman]

Ya I understand what you are talking about. I figured a strut/bracket
would be sufficient just to stop lateral movement.
Hey did you manage to get those measurements for
the fzr caliper cornversion.

 

[VonYinzer]

Shit. Forgot today. What measurements do you need exactly?

 

[mrpoopman]

Caliper to bracket/ bracket to fork. Just trying
to cut down on my trail and error if at all possible.
There is no big rush. Thanks

Nice work, always love watching another two smoker take shape. Love that it was your dads, hopefully you keep it for your son.

Ya I do plan on keeping this bike. I have been looking at solutions for the back side of the gas tank. I have seen the "nard guard" and other flavors of fiberglass pieces. They look good but I'm cheap so. I burned in a piece of 16 gauge steel and gave it a sip of body filler. I had to fill some ding in the tank any ways. Will post pictures of it once I sand it down.

 

[mrpoopman]

Meh? You get the idea.
Oh ya and a message from my son

Don't modify him, keep him stock.

Nah he came with race specs from the factory. I'm glad someone appreciates my effort to set the mood with my romantic pictures.

I know for a fact that they come factory with a free flowing exhaust and there are always fueling issues. Leak like sieves, too
