1984 RD500LC lost in California

#1 Post by MBevans » Thu Aug 20, 2015 2:08 pm

Hello Readers!

Looking for my old Yamaha.
I owned a RD500 in California from 1984 through 1993. When sold in northern California it had some unique details that might make it stand out from the crowd.

*TZ750 4 cable twist grip assembly with extra splitter for the oil pump
*30mm round slide Mikuni's, bored to 31.5mm
*Fox shock
*Steering dampener mount welded to the left side of the frame
*Rare mild steel pipes w/ Alum silencers
*Extremely ported/polished cylinders and redone combustion chambers, modified pistons.
*Welded cranks

If someone has seen or heard of this RD500, I'd love to know it's still around, and of course would love to purchase it back. But it would be great to know it's still alive!!

Thanks All,
Mark
