Salutations comrades!
I've always had "Build a Cafe Racer" on my bucket list, for as long as I can remember. I just started working at a new shop and one of the guys had a bunch of bikes he has grabbed from auction over the years. One of those was a MINT '75 Yamaha RD350 with just over 5000 miles. I had to bug him and flash some cash in front of him a few times to get him to give it up to me since it has sat for over 5 years now (and the shop flooded with about 3-1/2 feet of water during that time).
I've already got parts ordered and on the way from HVC Cycles and will be placing an order from Economy and GRA2 in the next few weeks.
Anyway, enough rambling! On to the pictures!
