Yeah, this one is pretty beat, too.

I think he wants like $2k for it as it sits, which makes the overall project get quite expensive.

Got a line on an RZ as well, but he wants around $3k for it and it's a beater too.

I got a KH400 last spring for $350. That's a much more realistic place to start than $2k-$3k.

Done, Finished complete, Fertig.... Just one grab rail bolt to pop in and thats it, I also got a Pro-Am fairing painted and finished for it, I didn't fit it, too ugly, Runs and rides really nice, Wanna get some miles on it before giving it any abuse,
A HUGE thanks to mark, Great guy, Gave me a massive deal on all the bodywork, tank and grabrail, Couldn't have finished it without your help Mark, So thanks again...

A few Pics.. and a few pics of the Yamaha side of the garage :)

Great work Paul. The LC is a beauty. Looks great with the RZs. Lots of history there.

Now you need an RD400 :-)

Lol. Not a chance. I had a few of them back in the day. Sticking with water cooled for now. I have a few more projects here. I have 2 CR500AFs to finish. Both are street legal. I have an RZ350 with everything sourced to build a hybrid. RGV running gear. Decision time 🙃

El Granada and Taco Bell Beach!

I used to surf at El Granada and Linda Mar pretty often when I lived in SF, but preferred to make the trek down to Pomponio, San Gregorio and Ano Nuevo for the good stuff.

Very nice Paul! That bike looks fantastic. :smt045

Was it 106° on the coast yesterday like it was here?

It was 109° when I left work. After my 6 mile commute home it cooled down to 106°. :smt005

Fkn hot but it's supposed to cool down this weekend.

I grew up in Los Altos/Los Altos Hills/Palo Alto, went to UCSC, then lived in the Mission district for 10 years before moving up here.

Yes, spent a lot of time on that coast.
