I may have a set for an RD400 for sale soon, shipping may be too much for my prospective buyer..

Well, my Buddy is kinda m.i.a. , so I'll get on with fighting the Spec 2's, they are 2/3rds the weight of the fabled Bassani's , saving a handy  5lbs!

He's buying a new tire for his R5, so we'll have my Rd, his R5 and my landlord's H1!

My buddy began the loom install, we are excited to see and hear the difference between the Bassanis and Spec 2s, not to mention the larger Mikunis and pwk30s!

Turns out they fit together beautifully, may not even need wheel spacers! It'll be great to have matching wheels, and ditch a front rotor and disc! I'll need a brake torque arm for the swinger, probably get one from economy cycle..
Wiring is pretty dire, anyone adapt a new 76/77 harness to a 78?

Pardon the gap in this build, life's been interesting for sure!
Mismatched wheels and tires aren't brilliant, so with a little detective work, it turns out thst a gs500 wheel has same axle size, and is already a 39 t 520 chain sprocket!
I also tracked down an aluminum swingarm, so let's see if it all fits together..

I do have a spare 400e seat and a brand new seat cowl, so it seemed like a great deal to me!

Pretty sure the Daytona arm is lighter than 12lbs that I read, hoping to borrow a scale soon..

Debating punting the extra parts to get new tires, some machining and a motolanna swingarm...
