'74 RD350. Yeah... I know....

Visited a Vintage Yamaha (don't remember the acronym) guy earlier this year. His collection of endures was in his basement. He had stairs down to his basement in his garage. He also had ramps fitted to his stairs and a garage ceiling mounted bumper winch to pull his bikes up into his garage (shed for the blimys).
Mine's a walk out basement. No (major) problems getting bikes in and out.

For future reference:
Found these cylinders on Ali Express .https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...8XnEo2jf&utparam-url=scene:search|query_from:

Most of the cylinders are Indian spec but these ones I believe are US Spec. The info on this is from a UK website. The same site also said the manufacturers have addressed the liner casting so they wont drop like the indian spec liners do.
The tell in the two castings is the US spec ones have the round supports under the top 4 fins , the indian spec ones do not. 5th photo down.
I think the pistons would make suitable ornaments or paper weights.
If I ever get a set of barrels I will get them X rayed to see if the liners have a top or bottom flange.
