RD350 info request

[toglhot]

RDs are expensive in Oz. I'd love an RD250, but too much for my pockets. I had an LS2 given to me years ago, I used the engine in a go cart. Love to get a hold of one of these again, but again too damned expensive. The LS2 was only made for a year before being dropped.

Fwiw, you're not gonna find a forum like this one for any other bike.
These are the RD ones I watch. Not much action on any of 'em I'm afraid...

Here's a good read on the RD's daddy... the R5. Kinda speaks to the allure of 'em. Enjoy.

You know, that aircooledrdclub.com forum in the UK is pretty darned good.

Definitely can go down a lotta different rabbit holes on there...hours of reading.

Does it run Al?

I would say the Rd"s have pretty good parts availability similar to the XS650. The XJ550 I did was another story.

Yes I did get it started, but needs a wiring harness and the frame and engine painted and more clean up.
