1967 yr1

[kramdua]

this is a project i did a few years ago. it was a labor of love for the 2 stroke twin that started 40 some years ago as a 16 year old with a brother that left for collage. he left me with his rd350b that had bassani's and filter pods. so for the yr1 i modified a set of dg pipes, added filters, and jetted it. what a bike it was.

Here's the '67 YR1 I brought back a few years ago with before and after pics. It now resides in NY state sold on eBay. I told the new owner about 2SW but I haven't seen him here.

BTW, if anyone needs parts for the YR1-3, I still have a few.

Wow, nice work! What's the silver horizontal bar in front of the cylinder heads? Hard to tell in the photo.

highway peg mount. look closely you can see them folded back.

Mark is correct as I found NOS period correct twisted chrome highway bars that I just had to put on this bike. I probably only put 100 miles on it and could not get the front drum brake's stopping power to my liking. It also had a front end shimmy that I chased for a long time which turned out to be a warped front axle. I had another NOS axle and shipped it to the new owner. RB Designs rebuilt the crank and I found a pair of 5 port '69 R3 cylinders that we used. Thanks for the compliment and you just can't keep 'em all!

they were definitely ahead of their time.
i don't think i could use the highway pegs even in my younger years.
