Title: First Start Up!!
Post by: Joshua on January 13, 2021, 08:01:20 PM
Thanks to Chuck and the countless guys on here for answering all my questions, making parts, and collecting lots of info of which I would never have gotten here without. Thanks guys!  Still have the tail to finish off, but I got to take it for a spin today. Can't wipe the smile off my face. It has been a long time dream to build an rd400.

Economy cycle steering damper. I was able to tap the lower triple for a really clean install.

Thanks guys, a day in and my brain is still flying!  After a few rides, it seems to be calming down into a sound I can terrorize my gated community with.  Someone has to be that guy.

Sounds great! Where did you source the front caliper mount or did you have it fabricated yourself?

Congratulations, not sure what part of florida you're in, but you should try to make it up to the annual 2 stroke meetup.

Garrett hooked me up. He was great to work with, answered all my stupid questions.

Hoping I can get out to some meet ups in the future. Just have to finish the tail. I'm in Punta Gorda by the way.
