Yamaha RD350LC

I was building this for P3 but have lost interest.

Frame:

  • Tie bar frame with ownership that was braced by Denis and Byron. Swingarm mounts boxed in. Swingarm, was also braced.
  • TZR 2MA Front End (Non cartridge 39mm so P3 legal)
  • TZR 4DL Front wheel with 2 piston Brembo caliper, 17x3"
  • TZR Belgarda rear wheel 17x3.5". This is a direct bolt in to the RD swingarm without messing around with spacers and chain alignment is spot on.

Engine:

  • Standard 350 cases port matched to the cylinders
  • Farhon cylinders with transfers opened up, triple exhaust ports, Boysen ported intake - This set up is raced by a few people in the Yamaha Past Masters series in the UK and consistently makes ~75hp with the right pipes
  • Wiseco Pistons on first over
  • Custom Crank from Roger at Wicked modified to fit the RD cases. TZ350 big ends and primary bearing
  • RZ350/Banshee transmission conversion so it has the stronger 6th gear (which always fails on the RD) and close ratio 1st to 2nd.
  • Hinson Billet clutch basket
  • Shift detent mod and detent arm roller bearing conversion. Shifts like butter
  • High flow pump impeller
  • O-ringed head with squish redone
  • 40mm Radiator from Martin at Mad Biker - made in the UK and not Chinese fleaBay junk
  • 34mm Mikuni TM’s which are basically junk but the best carbs allowed under P3 rules. It would run much better with a set of Keihin PWK35 but they didn’t make those until the mid 80’s

Pipes

  • Brian Turfrey (if you don’t know, he built the pipes for all the works Yamaha and Team KR GP bikes and he is booked a year in advance)

Bodywork

  • Brand new in the box tank still in primer.
  • Assorted panels and tail, probably enough to make 3 complete sets
  • Seat with the tab upgrade already done
  • Pro-am fairing
  • Pro-am Belly pan

Ignition

  • Standard Stator with Zeeltronic CDI - can be run batteryless.

Basically just needs paint and/or powder coating and assembly.

Not interested in selling off bits and pieces

Always intended to make a Yamaha Pro-am copy to look something like this when its done. Or you could go see Byron at Cox Customs and have him make a TZ tank and seat and run it with a faring.

PM sent!
