anyone know of any forums and any good websites to get rd350 parts

       Used to be one called: USA2strokers.com Not sure what's going on with that one, I was a member but can't get on now.

       Here's a Parts Catalog:   http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/myyamaha/prompt/L3Nwb3J0L3BhcnRzL2hvbWUuYXNweA==/Parts%20Catalog/starthere.aspx 

        These folks have some stuff and info:
http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=2stroker

         Nice stuff here (pricey) and some info also:
    http://www.motocarrera.com/custombikes.htm

         And THESE folks have a place for the Yamahas:

          http://www.kawasakitriples.cjb.net/

                          Hope that helps,  Bill ;)

Moto Carrera is out of business.

USA 2stokers forum is a butt rock place, but you can find parts from owners there.

If you want a good source for new RD parts, go the HVC Cycle. http://www.hvccycle.com/

Brad has fast service and also does restoration.
Its amazing what HVC has.
It is the #1 place for your RD parts.

      It was said that Moto Carrera was out of business, but I just came from there and it appears to be business as usual? ???

Moto Carrera is def out of business, but hes has not taken the site down or even discontinued the CC ordering process on the website.  Several poeple have been burned from this.  DO NOT ORDER FROM MOTO CARRERA!

         Thanks for the info, I guess that Maxacceleration was right on with that info. You'd think that they would have made it known, but I'm convinced now and I hope none of our folks get burned with them.

Doug, owner of MC has had health issues beyond compare the last couple of years.
That after he was already in a wheelchair. He has been fighting for his life...
When things were good people still got burned. Doug was just overwhelmed with his business.
His whole business and knowledge is cataloged in his head. He is a two stroke genius.
I almost got into a partnership with him, although I don't believe I could of helped the biz survive.
Too much acquired debt.

As for butt rock, some of the forum members are lowlife's.
But... There is a wealth of info to be found on that site.
My RD400 runs like a scalded cat due to Scott Clough Racing and killer jetting that makes most all RD's rip!
If you ever need your two stroke ported, Scott Clough is the man.
Worldwide reputation.

Now back to Hondas...

          Too bad about the guy's health and all. I totally agree on the info and such to be found at USA2strokers. The folks who have the "know-how" to work a 2stroke over, are priceless! I've ALWAYS been amazed at what can come from a "Properly Reworked 2Stroke"!
I've got a 73' RD350 that I'd like to "Warm up" a bit, but don't have the knowledge or the bucks to pay someone else. BTW, I'm a member at that forum but can't get on and can't contact them to get things straight. I like to pop in now and again to see if there's anything I'd like to check into or not. Oh well, I'm not doing anything with the RD yet anyway. Looking toward the Super Hawk and my old Jawa (which I have factory info, sketches and measurements to guide me on modifying the engine. Thanks again for the info on Doug, Moto Carrera and the place that you mentioned (Scott Clough Racing). ;)
