I've done the opposite, my 350 has a 400 DG swinger.  That totals 2" over...

When I made the required bushings, I made several should anyone need one.

Pit bike, moped, tiddler....

For sale I think I spotted 5 R5/DS7, 7 RD350, and no 400's other than a roadside Daytona.  Also 1 125, and some nice older Yamahas such as matching green high pipe 250's and many older ones that I can't ID on site.

Next year I'll try to remember to do a photo montage with prices... I'm guessing the Midwest numbers are different than other geo's...

Quote from: Striker1423 on July 28, 2025, 09:19:31 PMI mean I saw that rd125 and it was nice I guess, but was it $3200 nice? That's what a nice RD350 goes for.

I just sold my RD200 for $3000 and IMO think it a nicer, better bike than that particular 125.  But I did like the 125.

As for "bargains" I didn't see too many.  One that had me eyeballing was a Honda SL350 that seemed tired but all-there for $500 iirc.

Show Off / Just gifted: Tomos Moped…
July 29, 2025, 02:40:02 PM
Well the vacancy in my garage didn't last long.

At Mid Ohio VMD this weekend, my camp-neighbor rolled in with a few bikes and a few mopeds.  One of the mopeds he had won on EBay for $1.25 (seriously) and picked it up on his way in.  We spent some time getting it running, and he was happy.

Saturday, we had a blast riding the whole event on mopeds.




When we got back to camp, my neighbor told me he really didn't NEED another moped and that he was gifting his $1.25 moped to ME.  Now this is in my garage, a running riding 1994 Tomos E35 Sprint.  I don't know much about mopeds but it's going to be a perfect winter fixer up project.  Only things I see missing so far are side tins and air box.  Parts seem very available and even better, cheap.

My 2cents.
I had SCR properly done my "DG4" heads for my 350.  I think they are 19ccdomes.
My swingarm is also from a 400, making it 2" over on my 350, which really tamed the wheelies.
Re-annodized and chromed head bolts, bling yes.  I don't care.

Quote from: grcamna3How are the Yambits mirrors with high rpm vibrations;do they stay in position ? thanks

Absolutely.  I was sceptical at the price but they were good.

I just went through this, and originals just seem to be unavailable.  Since I needed some bits that only YamBits had, I included a set of their mirrors.  Very high quality, heavy materials.  Just no tuning fork logo.  I think they were $35ish.

I parked my R5 next to one at a show, and was amazed how little it was.
