I really want to ride this.

I love RD's.

 

I have 1 love it also. Just got some pistons for my big bore kit going from 54mm bore to 65 bore using 350 cyls and heads and 400 pistons with a whole bunch of other mods.

 

me 2, heres mine , i must have put this up here a dozen times now , i cant help it, mines a little more modern with the water cooling

 

You guys are making me jealous.

Back in the early eighties a friend had a '77 400, the orange color, and I loved swapping rides with him. I had my XS 400 at the time and the power and power characteristics between the two bike was amazing. It's too bad he crashed it. Such a shame.

If it don't smoke, it's broke.

 

Such a beauty. So boxy, yet so sleek.

 

ken007 bike turned out great. I would like to pick up a water cooled one but here in the states they are just 2 darn expensive. You can pick a well wore out junker for about 3k nice one about 5k. For that kind of money i could buy a very nice big bike. Altho i have been reading on how to swap out water cooled top ends on the old air cooled bikes. Big advantage you can make a water cooled one make serious power without melting. I have read stroker 350 lc like you have making 120 hp in race form

 

We've got two Daytona Specials at the shop I work at, one in pristine condition, one highly weathered by still complete. That pristine one is quite a looker. Haven't gotten to ride it yet.

 

If you get the chance fintip don't turn it down. You'll find the powerband a bit different than you might be use to. You might even snub the motor on you first attempt.
