Bart

Awesome... reminds me of how much I want a bike.

You know, I never wanted a bike until I saw these in Japan in 2010. After that, I was bent on building one. What's more, is that I absolutely LOVE riding. Too much in fact...

Heya Bart

Is it a longer swing arm...

...or just appears so cause you cleaned away all the crap.

Jo

[nfpgasmask]

Yup, longer swing are, and all the crap is cleaned away, so it makes it look longer as well. If you click my link above you can see the whole build.

That looks freaking awesome.

Makes me want to build a bike even more now. I have been thinking about building one for awhile now.

[JoFotoz]

Cool..

...and I read it all...at least I thought I did !!

Then went straight to C/List looking for a TW for sale in San Diego !

Yea yea..I know..not likely!

In a bygone era I rode TS 125's and TS 250's...

...I'd love to mod one of those like you have.

DO IT!!! It was sooo easy it makes me want to just customize bikes going forward!! I think I will do a RD400 or RD500 next...

IIRC...The Yam RD 250 was single handedly responsible for changing British bike laws.

Prior to 1975 ( I think, close enough!)...anyone could ride up to a 250cc M/bike in the UK...
...on a learners permit.
No lessons, no prior experience..just buy it...ride it

Along comes the RD 250...BOOM......250cc's doing what 500cc's used to do!!!

Quick as a flash...learners were restricted to 125 cc....

Too cool, I've got a '73 Honda CL350 Cafe, a '74 Yamaha RD350 Cafe, an '83 Kawasaki CSR250 Cafe and an '01 Harley Dyna Super...betcha can't guess where my first love lies when it comes to bikes?

Yeah, there was an article a few months back in Vintage Motorcycle about the 1975 RD350. It basically said that bike, when it came out, could blow away anything on the street up to an 800cc. Since reading that article, I have wanted one of those too. Plus, 1975 is pretty much the coolest year in history.

I love the Honda CL350. I didn't know I loved it until I saw Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. The bike built for that movie is sooooo wicked.

Looking at your collection of photos, you must have a HUGE...

... garage space. Where do you keep all of those toys?

Man, I wish. I have a 3 car garage. So right now, wife's car, Impulse and Trooper are inside. VX and RS are outside.
