1979 RD400F Daytona

Postby marshall498 » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:05 pm

So everyone, I have deciced that over the past year of taking a barn find, and turning it into a race bike has caused me to fall out of love with 2 strokes, and tuning them.

The bike has:
Brembo P108 Caliper up front
Brembo pads as well
FZR600 rear sets
Steel braided lines front and back
Uni Y-boot filter
J&R Chambers
Brand new Avon Roadrider (less than 15 laps)
New head barrings
new swing arm barrings
Engine is bone stock
Carbs are stock
rear caliper has been rebuilt
New handle bars (MX bars actually, as I am a taller guy and they help me fit on the bike)
New EBC clutch (plates and springs)
New clutch cable
New kick shaft/kicklever
Custom Solo seat (I also have the stock seat pan, unfortunatly the rear tail section had a bit of a miss hap at CTMP)
New battery
New front and rear sprockets and chain (stock gearing)
New stock reeds
New crank seals and labyrinth seal
Front forks have new seals, and heavier oil
Rear suspension is brand new
The bike is all drilled and safety wired (and passed CSBK tech inspection twice at CTMP)

I also have:
OEM turn signals
rear Tool box
headlight
kickstand
another kicklever
OEM master cylinder, and OEM front caliper
OEM fender
Flasher relay, rear brake light, etc..(basically everything you take off for racing, I kept)

The bike needs:
A new coil.
And someone who is better than I, at tuning carbs (which isnt difficult)

I have just lost enthusiasim for riding and racing two strokes. I had a ton of fun out at Shannonville doing my race school on my Bandit 650 and I thought that the fun would translate to riding the RD...which it didn't. I am still looking for the "small bike in a big world" type riding (looking for an FZR600 or hopefully a 400) , I just like being the underdog, but paying for the weekend of racing, then ending up in the pits with some sort of tuning gremlin is and has taken its toll on me.

I don't know what to ask price wise, as the bike is a collectable, but its also a racebike. I also dont have the ownership (and since I was racing it I never got one)
