Nice find! 1 question: the Listing title says it's for "R350"? Are they RD or RZ pipes?

That is quite a deal. I have same on my RZ.
For reference, see (not mine) - https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1984-yamaha-rz350-5/

the hanger looks right for an aircooled. rzs are usually further back. I have those in the lightweight.  Great pipes and thats a great deal. be glad I didn't see them 1st.  :love eyes:

I know right....I panicked and purchased. when viewing the ad at 4:45 am the number of views went from 3 to 11 in just 3 or 4 minutes, then it displayed 1 in cart soo I jumped. my last set from Gary was just a few dollars  south of 1000.00$ including shipping door to door.

I do not know how long the listing had been up, and initially I offered 400.00 for them, and saw the reaction from others and retracted my offer, and hit buy now.

the spec II pipes arrived today and I was not dissapointed. looks as they never even been installed. newspaper used to wrap the silencers is dated 2003, I wonder when these might have been made?

probably.. 2003.

The silencer has some discoloration that can be seen with the paper removed.
Probably a project that never got off the ground.

I remember getting a set of pipes from Gary in 99 or so, wrapped the same way. very cool. you stole those

I ran across a set of factory pipe products at about the same price, however they had some dents.
pure luck, sometimes you need it.
