Here we gooooooo!
First two pics at my mechanics garage on 19th of late night getting ready for next days ride.
At home with future rider who is already in love with her and wants to ride at 200KMPH(max speed shown in speedometer)
Future rider with his helmet.
Yet to install front disc break, saree guard, rear career, front mask, long red indicators cosmetically and CDi, reeds, bigger jets and Uni filter for performance.

What a helmet? Beautiful helmet & you've given the classic touch for the gear that suits the motorcycle too. Congratulations & enjoy. Though I would love to own one, I'm afraid of the time it takes (and I might lose the patience) to rebuild one. Good that you've the patience which is paying off now over 2 years. Good Luck.

Hats off to you sir!!! That's one heck of a machine. Congrats!! Please do post a high quality video if you can. Liked the helmet, but not the visor. Looks like junior is enjoying

Ajaybiz · 29th June 2010, 20:08

somspaple · 29th June 2010, 21:23

sunishsamuel · 29th June 2010, 21:24

Congrats. And i really like the color, reminds of the original Peacock blue color (wasn't that the name during the 80's?)

Enjoy your ride.

PAVAN KADAM · 29th June 2010, 21:32

Congrats Ajay.

Now tell us what happened to the rest of 7 RD's that you own.

Ajaybiz · 29th June 2010, 21:57

Helmets, one goggle and jacket are US import paid approx 12K including shipping to India.
Thanks all.
Pavan personally i owned only 4 RD's till date rest just got it from Punjab, Haryana and immediately sold, i got cheated by another fellow who promised me 6 RD's from DRDO which was made in 1996 specially for them and he took 150K as advance its almost a year now theres no sign of bikes apart from some pics and till now recovered only 100K from him.

Amazing pics.
I can only imagine how much effort , time, patience, etc must have gone into this restoration.
Please post pics of WIP.

SunnyBoi · 29th June 2010, 23:42

Congrats Ajay, awesome job on the bike

YaeJay · 30th June 2010, 00:47

Lovely Ajay! So what kinda security you got at home?

Ajaybiz · 30th June 2010, 09:13

3 security guards 24x7 heavily bribed for securing my bikes and allowing all of them to park in basement

, yet to fix the traditional Rajdoot kinda handel lock.
Hope GTO have seen this thread as he was very much concerned about my "Rajdoot" decails when she was not restored, need your valueble comments mate.

james · 30th June 2010, 09:23

Ajay, lovely job on the bike. I personally love the colour cause its not too dark nor too light. Something like cyprus blue? Nice front mudguard.
You are lucky to have recovered 1L from that idiot! Its sad to see so many cheats all around just trying to make money from our passion!
No disc, Flatties, UNI, re-worked barrels?

Cheers!

+1 to that.

Too many dealers in the present market. Better beware.

You've learnt a costly lesson, but the paint job on your RD.

Mindblowing

hillram · 30th June 2010, 09:51

Lovely RD 350 and cute kid on it too.I suppose you can replace Rajdoot with a Yamaha sticker on the petrol tank.
