1973 RD350

Walms

Been Around the Block
This is a friend's bike for sale... location Cedar MN.

The Bad:
Petcock Leaks (needs 4 hole gasket)
Shift shaft seal leaks (not a lot, but it leaks)
Fork seals leak and dust boots are cracked
needs a HUGE amount of "detailing" (spent time on dirt road...every nook and cranny is FILTHY)
needs seat cover (pan and foam are good)
Gas tank needs to be Caswelled/Lined as it has a slight seap near the petcock. Ironically, there is VERY LITTLE rust in the tank other than the area around the petcock. The leak has been temporarily "fixed" with JB weld on the area, externally.
Paint (on all body parts) is faded, clearcoat is peeling and there are multiple dings.


The Good:
THIS BIKE STARTS, RUNS, AND DRIVES EXCELLENT.... and I mean EXCELLENT
DG Pipes new last year and in near perfect condition (slight "kiss" of cornering rash on lower outside corner on left pipe)
Matching numbers engine, frame, wheels are correct date code, gauges correct (dash plate is from '74 RD, but have the original although faded)
Chrome overall in better than average condition. The dirt plus oil that is covering everything has acted as a protectant. There are some tire iron marks on the wheels and a bit of chalk on spokes, but some elbow grease and this will clean up to be nice "rider quality"
All electrical works except bulb in tach is burned out (cant see tach at night) and turnsignals (included, but in so-so shape) have been removed for better aerodynamics. :roll:
CLUBMAN BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NICE Napolean Bar-End Mirror!!!!!!!!!!!
Tires are NEW, but are dual-sport tires...
THE BIKE STARTS, RUNS, AND DRIVES EXCELLENT

I'm not his agent, just throwing it up here for him. There is a link to his Craig's list add below the last picture if you want to contact him directly.
 
My guess is, the "Magic" number is $1500. The "Yea, I'll take that" number may take some negotiating.

Too bad this isn't closer to me :(
I wish your buddy luck with the sale ;)
