Is the analogue CDI still available? Since you are located in India, the best man to answer your question would be Ron Chinoy the designer and manufacturer. In the U.S. try Economy Cycles, the sole U.S. distributor; it was available the last time I looked.The kits for the U.S. market come with a ...

Thanks for the good wishes. The ignition portion should be a piece of cake. There are only six wires (four to the coils) and one plug; I'd be hard pressed to screw it up. (Hey!! How come that little black box is smokin' ?? :lol: ) The timing should be equally easy. The wiring harness involved a lot ...

I purchased an Analog kit from Economy Cycles in the latter part of 2009 for my 1976 RD-400, and I've just finished installing the wiring harness. The brass plate will be installed on the engine when it's re-built later this summer; I'd decided to finish a complete rolling chassis before overhauling ...

Nice work man.. I think the "bahama blue" will look great once you get the rest of the pieces in place.. Did ya make that seat yourself?? or did you buy it? I am looking for something similar for my ride. Also.. what rubbers are you running? Ram The seat I picked up on e-Bay for $155.00+ shipping ...

A short story about the wild paint color: I had two quarts of expensive "Bahama Blue" alkyd enamel left over from an experimental airplane project that I built over ten years. I sold it this year to an aircraft mechanic up in Idaho; the original color scheme was Gray w/ Blue trim. It seemed a shame ...

Here are the other two photos I was trying to show: http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/thruxton-texas/Secondsetofphotospartialrollingc-7.jpg http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/thruxton-texas/Secondsetofphotospartialrollingchas.jpg The bike in question is a RD400. I'm just shooting for a ...

As I promised in my last post, I'm posting some links to some photos that show my progress on my rebuild project as of late: http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/thruxton-texas/Secondsetofphotospartialrollingc-1.jpg This one shows the basic rolling chassis; the tank, front fender, seat cowl, and ...

Of course it's not polite to say I'm trying to build a Harley beater; I already get enough B.S. from my buddies who ride 'em..................James. You need a 400 to build a harley beater?? May I suggest the RD250 for such applications.. :lol: Ram Since I'm 5'-9" and 230 lbs. (that's 104 kilos); I ...

Thanks for all the welcoming posts. Just curious, how many members are from the US? After reading through some of the various threads/posts, I notice that parts/spares availability is somewhat limited in India. It seems that there would be plenty considering the fact that the Rajdoot 350 was built ...
