2 Strokes Down Under

Probably about time i transferred this to a project thread, don't get too excited because this will only go as fast as my bank account allows haha. I've been doing a bit of shopping lately so i'll put the old pics up again plus some pics of some of the shiny new bits i've bought lately and then try ...

Yeah i think I've really nailed the whole lightweight racer style, it's slower than i was expecting though haha. The forks ended up coming from america via eBay, probably cost me too much but they're in good nick so i'm happy.

i loosely sat a few bits together after some forks turned up in the mail so here's a happy snap

Thanks OzzyElsie, it would seem you've given me a bit to think about on the direction i wan't to go.

thanks for the reply's people, that rz front end is interesting but im guessing i can't use my rd spoke wheel with that? i'm not really interested in running alloy wheels

Well i don't have any to re-chrome so i'll have a look at yambits i guess and keep my eyes out for some second hand ones too

Excuse the messy room and crappy photo but here's a pic of what i think might be a decent chunk of an rd350 annoying my wife by taking up the floor in the house haha. believe it or not but it's actually fairly complete minus forks and shocks and some little bits and pieces http://i567.photobucket.co...

Hi, finally picked up my new toy. first thing i'm chasing is a set of forks for a 73-75 rd350. let me know if you have anything and how much your after. Thanks

haha seeing as your so keen eBay item number:271461474108 there isn't a lot too see apart from a frame and a disassembled engine though

No good pics yet really only the ones from ebay, i pick it up next weekend so pics will come when i have it home. what i've bought is more jigsaw than motorbike at this point though haha

Just bought "most" of an RD350 from eBay today so it looks like i'm on my way to building a custom 2 stoke. First i just have to do the around 10 hour round trip to pick it up lol

That's a nice looking streety, what shock is that i see poking out?

Haha well i'm not really aiming to build a cafe racer in particular but i do like the look of a bike that's stripped down to the essentials with low down bars or clip-on's and anything like that just seems to get lumped in with cafe racers these days. I do like the RD's and that earlier shape rather...

Hi all, new to the forum and 2 stroke road bikes (so new i don't even have one yet lol), although i've played with them a bit in dirt bikes and jetski's. I've got a 2009 street triple r which i've done a bit of cosmetic work to and i love it but i'm keen to start on a 2 stroker as a bit of a project...
