Hi
I fitted some billet catch tanks to replace some plastic Honda items that were not quite what I wanted. When I had my 400 swingarm made, I asked Garry at Metmachex if he could knock up 2 tanks - 1 for coolant overflow on the left side, and an identical one on the right that will act as a reservoir for 2 stroke oil to feed the pump. Really pleased with how they turned out;

I added a couple of clear sight tubes so I can keep an eye on coolant and oil levels, with one way valves at the top so the tubes can "breathe".

Not necessarily. In South Africa and maybe England as well RD350LC was non power valve, RD350 was YPVS with bikini fairing and RZ350 was full fairing for a few years.
That's gorgeous
yes, im aware of the valvie designation, lcII, etc. but for us in the US, that's typically what it refers to.
Pipes are on !

Thanks Jim, Good to know, I was thinking Those pipes were probably Higgspeeds.
NICE job! Personally, I consider your pics to qualify as bike porn. ;)
Beautiful bike. Very tastefully done. Great balance of form, function and mix of shiny bits.
Nice Write up you got here!
