Hot Rodding A Yamaha RD 250 C

Just a try for now…  that seat needs major rework and I’m not too keen on fiberglass. It looks a bit out of place in the photo, but much better in real life. Maybe the Laguna seca seat is a better option.

Bike has been put together from two other rust buckets, taking the good bits from one onto the other. It’s got matching numbers now and is in a pretty nice state. Since I already have a 400, I thought it more interesting to hot rod that one. What’s planned:
350 topend
K&N filter on y-boot.

and all the bits I can pilfer from the race 350:
FPP pipes
both alloy rims
rearsets,
etc.

I also plan on bracing the swingarm and changing the front fender eventually w/ a brace if I can find one.
