I'm looking for recommendations for superbike bars for my RD400. Is there kind of a consensus on what rise works decent with stock foot peg location?

I'm needing a recommendation for a quality fuel bowl gasket for my RT-2(Yamaha 360). I've checked the flatness of both surfaces but had to add a bit of sealant last time to get a complete seal.

I probably would have accepted your offer last week, I just found a seat!it just needs re covered now.

I hated to give up on the original cover but your probably right on.

Has anyone had success doing a home repair on a seat cover? Maybe a lead on a company that can do a quality repair if I send it to them? I'm considering carefully removing this cover and doing a repair from the backside.

My plan is to leave it very original. The bike either seized or holed a piston, I'll probably have Toomey go thru the bottom end as I don't want to install this engine twice. I'm located in Southeast Mo, 2.5 hours from STL.
The owner has three large buildings of amazing 1970s bikes but doesn't want to sell much, please don't ask! I'm family and have talked to him for five years about this bike and had to step up. I think this bike will clean up pretty decent, I take very good care of my bikes but go hard when I'm on the so probably won't go too cosmetic.

Hey gang, I wanted to introduce my self and project. I sold my RD400 cafe years ago and while I had a few bikes I missed the RD. I recently purchased this 77 from a family member (probably over paid) but it was what I wanted so onward!
My plan is to keep the stock pipes and fairly stock setup, I do plan to add electronic ignition and maybe super bike bars. My plan is to send the engine to Toomeys to speed up the project. I plan to leave all of the finishes as they are and do tapered head shims, swing arm bushings, forks, brakes, tires, etc.
I'm not really sure on the engine specs at this point, I'm still doing research on that.
