And, when thinking about it... the original thread on this bike is approx 7 years old i think... i started with a frame, and eventually little by little, it evolved.

My very first bike and i will never sell it, i promised my self that.

Paint is toyota supra, lightning yellow.  :afro: 
Custom decals on tank and rear piece from my own design ( Yes i know the kenny roberts theme has been done a million times, but i love a good yellow bike and I just thought i would be perfect for my 77 rd )

please just ask and i will also get more and better pictures of the bike and further details  :cheers:

Thanks man! Its actually a one of, own design, in colab with a norweigan guy a few years back. I sent him my original triple tree and told the wishes i had and he already had the moto gadget speedo dummy ( He has done a lot of bike stuff) and so we ended up with this design. CNC from 1 piece of aluminum.

Back home i had it glas blasted slitely and anodized black to fit the frame and the structure black powder coating.

Quote from: SoCal250 on November 30, 2023, 03:57:40 PMWow, everywhere you look there's trick stuff done on that bike! :bacon: Super cool! Very nice work! :thumbs:
It's too bad your license plates are so friggen huge! They practically make you hang a billboard on the back.

Haha, yeah, your not the first, especially from US that comments that ;)
Its unfortunate, but this is life in europe. No respect for bikes, the plate is huge.

Turning Wrenches / Yamaha r5 project questions
July 30, 2021, 09:26:18 AM
Hi guys
So, considering picking up a box of parts, Its a yamaha r5 frame with rd400 front end, swingarm and engine.
Engine is not in the frame

Its a project He is selling

So my question are
Can i fit the rd400 engine in that frame? Pipes as well?
What about fitting a later Rd350 aircooled seat to the frame?

Any info would be Very kind
Thank you :)
