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.

Nuts, Some of the prices they look for these junkers are just nuts.....

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 :)

Have is sorted. Just have to fit it

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

Nice work, looks fantastic. Lovely collection too!

Ohh Id really like a CR500 as a road reg'd motard...

Looks fantastic.
digging the red/black 500 too

just turned a 1000 miles today, Running like a champ, I forgot how class these bikes are, Fast and furious for a 350, My OTT porting and engine work is a flyer. :)
A quick blast down HWY 1, fantastic weather.......

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.

Ah Jim. You know the place well. We live right by the Linda Mar beach. Love the place

Very nice Paul! That bike looks fantastic.

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°.

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.
