Topic: Site for RD350

[bill440cars]

           I was given this info once and somehow, I've lost it. It was Two Stroke USA or something similar to that. I've tried searching but, no results. Will somebody help me?

                 Never mind, I was able to find it. It was usa2strokers.com that I was looking for.
         Thanks anyway.  objectionableone was who led me to it originally.

                   fb, I'm glad I figured out what it was but, it is nice to know that you were coming in to let
          me know. I picked up on a pair of expansion chambers for my RD350 but, the 2 pieces, that 
          actually bolt onto the cylinders and the pipes go into (can you tell that I've forgotten what
          they're called?), were missing. And I'm trying to locate a pair along with the springs. I have no
          idea what brand they are but, they look kinda like DGs. Someone marked on the chambers that
          they were for the 76-78 RD400 but, they look like they will bolt-up. Anyway, thanks for the
          response.

             Yeah, they were pretty good little screamers and a blast to ride. I have to get the carbs taken
       care of and may need crankshaft seals. Can't wait to get it out on the road and open it up.

Check with Brad at HVC Cycle www.hvccycle.com. I had the same problem with a pair of chambers and he came up with the springs and the whatchamacallits...

              Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Looks like you have a fondness for the 2stroke bikes as well. Nice example you have shown, don't think I've seen one that color before. Thanks again,  Bill

On this weeks motorweek (the pbs show) they where doing something about bikes and there was a nice RD senter stage.  Looked 76ish with expansion chambers on it.  Missed the begining and didnt have the sound on untill to late.  Thought it was funny they had the hardlys off to the sides.

My avatar is quick snap of my '79 RD400F Daytona Special. Stock color; only made one year. Pretty much the last of air-cooled two-stroke bikes in the U.S.
