haha damn I think for one second that i've come up with an original paint/polish plan for my engine and the next day see two more already with it. Looks fantastic. where are you routing the wiring from the left side case up the frame? just zip tied to the frame?

Totally slacked on getting back to you. Sent you another PM. Thanks

Re: Yamaha RD400 stock swingarm needed My bad, forgot to update this thread. I just purchased one a day or two ago. Thanks for the offers though, I do appreciate it

Hey guys, if anyone has a stock rd400 swing arm they'd be willing to part with let me know. Pretty much any condition is fine as long as it's straight and in good working order. Thanks Lucas

I'll jump on the thread resurrection bandwagon. Are you still doing these? I could really use one of these.

Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Engine In! & Inevitable Wheel Clearance Fun The twinline RD has the Moto Carrera swingarm. You can ask Doug (owner of moto carrera) for an idea of length on the swingarm. The shocks appear to be RFY and are everywhere on ebay and most are 340mm (or 13 3/8") eye to eye...

Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Engine In! & Inevitable Wheel Clearance Fun I had the same thought, but I don't have the swing-arm on right now because my right side shock threads are flattened and rusted really bad. Gotta find someone to fix/weld a new mount on.

Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Engine In! & Inevitable Wheel Clearance Fun I think your best bet is longer shocks. I picked up some Hagon 360mm slimline shocks off ebay which I think will help significantly. They are stiff as hell though. I need to get one of the hagon spanners to adjust it.

Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Basement Build Any updates? This project is so cool

I should also mention that shipping time is less than ideal. I ordered a set on April 10, and have yet to receive them in the mail. Hopefully by the end of this week.

Sure thing. This is the website which I ordered from. They are no 34 or 35mm on ebay right now but if you contact them they might put a listing up for you on ebay if you prefer. http://www.neverland-motor.com/universal-adjustable-35mm-cnc-clip-on-ons-handlebars-handle-bar-11490.html Lucas

dude I am totally going to jack your license plate # haha ;) Seriously though I like what you've got going. I'm planning a similar paint scheme. Keep up the good work.

Anyone looking for a set of these they are made a Chinese company called "Neverland-Motor". They come in 34mm as well as some other sizes and styles. They have an ebay account.

Most common way I have seen is to weld a flat seat pan (or just a horizontal piece) onto the frame rails that will sit underneath your fiberglass seat and then bolt directly through the fiberglass to the flat piece. The seat pad will hide the bolt heads.
