My junk R5

[soonerbillz]

you can stuff a vitos crank in it as well. rd 250/350 compatible. options and all.

So if I did use the RD350 crank what else RD specific do I need .. pump? other stuff?

I've been off my mark for too long..
I got sick.. couldn't race..couldn't do nothing. Then I got well but had no passion ..I was not with it.
Then I walked in the barn and looked at this poor abused, left for dead thing.
I realized I'd I did not get off my ass I would be as dead as this thing.
Today I'm standing in my shop and feeling the juice.. and it's great..
I need this. The effort to build one up out of nothing is intense. You all know ..the hunt for parts..getting it all together is a drug all it's own.
Thank you all for putting up with me.. learning R5, RD is what I needed..
I'm not a scared of this..I can do it.. this bike will be awesome.

23? yrs ago i had just moved back from KS, and had an rd . went back to college and didn't want anything to do with women at that point as had just gone thru a nasty breakup. what kept my spirits up was i went full bore into my 73 RD i had at the time and just got lost in that project.  it was very therapeutic.  So, i get it.
