1973 RD350 Restoration

[chill71]

Hey guys,

My name is Chuck from ATL, GA and this is my first post here

I picked up a 1973 RD350 last weekend from one of my friends who found it for me. Got it for a good price and am looking to restore it.

Engine has great compression but is missing parts. This being my first RD I can't say that I really know what all is is missing other than the obvious parts.

If any of you have any spare stock parts that you would be willing to donate or let me buy for a 1973 RD350 let me know.

Looking forward to building this bike and getting it back to it's former glory. Looking to go completely stock with this one!

This is the list I have compiled thus far:

Wiring harness (check)
Headers (recovered!)
Side covers/ Oil reserve
Air box (check)
Foot Pegs (check)
Shifter Lever
Caliper
Clutch Lever/ Cable
Throttle Tube/ Cable
Speedo and Tach / Cables for both
Front fender
Triple tree cover
Fork ears
Headlight
Front Turn Signals

If I am missing anything please help me add it to my list!

Here are a few photos of the bike. I am going to update it as I go along, but I just want to get things listed before I start taking it apart.

Thanks guys looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Chuck

How is the project coming?
I didn't see gauges on your list...
The good thing is that there were a ton of RDs sold so parts availability isn't too bad.

Me too Mark! I can see one of those tanks in my future, just gorgeous!

Looks like a decent bike under the dust, just gotta locate the missing bits and put in some hours :)

I regret selling mine, the red 73 is the purdiest of them all. Mine was a 5000 mile original converted to race bike but I had all the parts to put it back to original. Would have been a beautiful street screamer.

Hello

I have Piston and rings in various bore sizes for sale, all parts are OEM Yamaha. If you get into the engine and need these parts let me know.

Cheers
