Thanks for the welcome back, reaper :) Yeah, you know, just trying to get thru this motherfucker they call "Life." I am happy to have my RD running so well. Last weekend, a friend and I did California Superbike School at Streets Of Willow Springs - what an awesome experience that was! My only ...

Hi ya'll! It's been a very long time and I just wanted to stop by to say hello. I hope my old friends, especially Ron, are well. I have been busy with Life and so on, and in the last couple of years have only ridden my RD, maybe 200 miles total. Here is why: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227 ...

Very cool RD350. I like the black/silver paint scheme. The ground it sits upon appears to be an unpaved, hard-pack dirt road. The type that is perfect for a supermotard RD !! :idea: I know what I'd want to build if those were mostly the type of roads available to me... http://i233.photobucket.com ...

dude, you could make 'em and make some money I'm just saying...

Get them pics uploaded, srisha, I want to check them out. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm a picture taking and posting hound! I love the pics. I haven't been here very long myself but, if it's alright with the senior members of RDDreams, and the respected moderators of RDDreams, I would also ...

Ultimate Source forkbrace. Was popular during the 70's and 80's. It was very strong and made from Chrome Molly. It was bitchin.
I forget how I got mine but I know I didn't make it. You know, I don't think it would be very hard to duplicate, especially by someone with Chinoy's expertise

Thank you reaper, for making me sound so cool =D> 8) but, I cannot tell a lie: I never raced an RD350 at Willow Springs. Nor did I ever race an RD400 or RZ350. I did race my little Honda, and learned allot about momentum. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/swiftyhernandez/P1010195_cropped.jpg

I used to own a 350 many moons ago and prefer the quicker steering characteristics of the 350 to the 400 with it's slightly longer wheelbase. Also, the 350 revs a little quicker, too. Beyond these two points, it's difficult to compare them since it's been so long since I've ridden a 350. Tires front ...

Hi reaper, thanks for your kind words of sympathy.

I never raced Katanas myself, but I do have pics of them racing!


Also, I'm not at all aware of Ross's racing program .... sorry mang, I don't know I rarely go to the USA2Strokers site anymore...

You know, I could easily be wrong on that main jet size (my memory has suffered greatly because of my head injury). And now that you mention it, 320 sounds right, too.
Timing set to 20. Stock Daytona Special head; not milled.

I ended up crashing it pretty heavily up on Palomar Mountain. I think it was totalled, I don't really ...

Yes, it's quite easy to find an open road that allows you to open 'er up around here, so the big carbs do not create a problem. As for the jetting, I think the main is 270. The power band is what you would expect from a good running RD400, with ported cylinders, both the intake and exhaust. Power ...

I had the 34 Mikunis installed because 1) they perform very well indeed, and 2) they were easier to obtain than various other carburators. Plus I trusted my friend that did the install. I went on the premise that if a 34mm round-slide is good enough for my stock single-cylinder Honda MT125R, it's ...

Gentleman, thank you. And thank you for the warm welcome. :) I have a good time with the bike. I enjoy riding it on Wueste Road almost as much as I enjoy riding it on Otay Lakes Road. Otay Lakes road in Chula Vista, CA is the road I know best and is my favorite road. Right next to and running into ...

Greetings all. I am new to the RDDreams forum and looking forward to making new friends. I live in Southern California and currently own only one RD; the RD400F shown in the picture. It's basically stock with all the usual performance upgrades, i.e., steel-braided brake lines; tapered roller ...
