Thanks! Its pretty much the way it was when I got it from my grandma's neighbor's garage a couple years ago. I put the Renthal bars and stainless braided brake lines from Galfer on it. I had to make an adapter out of aluminum for an aftermarket rear master cylinder. Bosch coils, DG pipes, Uni pods with a "custom" intake that I made with some advice from Chuck. Other than that its pretty clean. Very low miles and has some nice patina!

General Chatter / Yamaha RD400 caliper conversion
October 31, 2019, 05:45:47 PM
Hello all! I am pretty new to the forum and have found a gold mine! I am only 19 and have already been hooked by old two strokes! I am in the process of getting my '77 RD400 on the road for the first time in 35+ years and would like to do a brake upgrade. I have seen many great builds of the folks on the forum and would like to give it a shot. So far I have been able to acquire a 2001 r6 caliper and a fzr600 rotor, and am working on the caliper adapter by hand. Pretty much all I need is a rotor spacer. I don't have the precision equipment needed to make one and would like to know if anybody could help me out.
Thanks everybody!
