Just kidding!

I don't own any four-stroke motorcycles!

Mark (or Chuck), have you fitted VForce reeds to the RD350LC cylinders?

There is some adamant debate on Norbo's forum that there are no VForce 3 or 4 that fit the LC's without modifying the cyls.  Even with spacers.

We usually do this in late September/early August, but this year were changing it up and jumping ahead to 420💨💨💨

Stay tuned for the details

Thats awesome. 

I also think that I end up with the stuff I do just because of timing, weird how the world works like that.

Been kinda dry here in the midwest for older 2ts. Im jelly.

I'm jealous of your 3XV. 

I had a 91 R model for a few years but let it go.

So wishing I had held onto it and done SP porting, pipes and if and gotten more power out of it.

Nice score.

What rock did you find that under??

It was literally less than a mile from my house.

I had just got done restomodding a KH400 triple a month or two ago. My 2T enthusiast buddy Naveen asked me about it, and I said "Yeah, it's done ... turned out nice, but I'm gonna sell it and try to find an RZ". He says "Oh, I know where one is ... this guy comes into the store (he's a cashier at Trader Joe's) that has one he wants to sell, right up the street ... I'll send you some pics". He sends the pics and I can see it's an LC not an RZ so I decide to pass.

As my search for an RZ gets a bit more desperate, I start thinking about the LC again. After bleeding the brakes on my KTM 300, i take it for a shakedown ride past the LC guy's house and he just happens to be standing out front. I've never met the guy before, so I introduce myself and inquire about the bike. He says "Dude, your timing couldn't be better. I need to be out of this house tomorrow, and I got nowhere to put the LC until I move into my new place on the 1st".

So we go thru the usual song n' dance, and settle on a (very nice) price that we are both satisfied with and now the bike is in my garage.

Evidently it was meant to be.

I get a lot of "What is the absolute lowest you would be willing to take for it?"

I'm pretty flexible on the price, but don't try to lowball me before you've even seen it. 

Thanks guys!  It's been up for a while now ... pricing these old things is hard.

Glad you all think the price is fair.

Just waiting for the right buyer ... need the money for my LC.

I believe Mark says you need a 6mm reed spacer between the reeds and cylinder

I'm also curious as thinking about doing this on my LC.

Thanks Mark!

Please set up a site sponsor link.

I'll gladly send some $$$ your way.

Nice! Are you going to do a restoration or a resto-mod?

Well, I'm usually a resto-mod kinda guy. 

That said, this RD350LC is so complete, I'm thinking to go full resto on this one.  Everything is still here ... centerstand, turn signals, pristine stock exhaust, etc.

The only thing NOT STOCK is the paint.   Even tho it's in great shape, the stripes are way off parallel, which I cain't stand.  Will likely go stock JDM '81 RZ350 paint when I can afford it.

Picked this JDM RD350LC up a few weeks ago. 

Stay tuned for detailed build thread.
