I am wondering if these forks are off the XS650 or RD400 grafted on to the RD350? The the rim/tire is 18". It has a small cable holder just below the fork boot dust cover. I googled and it's only the Daytona is similar. Could it be off the Daytona? Thanks guys.

Yes, Looks like it is from Daytona Special
1974 RD350

Doubt it's Daytona forks, which are 35mm. From the photo I'd say those bikes are overseas (India, Thailand?) based on graphics, engine guards, etc. Where did you find the pic?
Could be a Rajdoot part.
RD400 fork lowers look similar to that and are 34mm.

To me it looks like a normal European model RD250/400 from 1976/77 and USA model RD400 1976-78 fork.

I did a search on Googly and I think Uwe you are correct. The US 1977 RD400 seems to be it, as it has the little wire holder tab just blow the dust boot.
Uwe, du bist richtig! Vilen Dank!

Def looks like the rajdoot and overseas model of the rd350
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.
