1976 Yamaha RD400 custom NR - BaT - Huntington Beach, CA

[SoCal250]

(not mine)
This bike recently sold on BaT and is local to me. It looks very familiar, does anyone remember if it was built by a member here a few years back? It could just be that I've seen it around at a few local shows and that's why it looks so familiar to me but I keep thinking someone here built it back in 2020.

The seller (who wasn't the original builder) left out quite a few details in the description, didn't provide a cold start or riding video, and the running video was added very late so i think he definitely left some money on the table. I think it was a pretty good deal for the buyer, but not really my taste on the color scheme. Lots of nice parts and an Erlenbach engine.
