Latest RDDreams RD350

Seems to be an extra ordinary work, looks like a brand new RD350
just the FZ Headlight did not match

like everyone else said, -1 for the headlight

at least the console should have been flush with the headlight.

Yeah i agree... what u have done is any yamaha fans dream...

Totally agree that the head lamps make the bike look on heavy steroids and spoils the overall deadly attire. I mean seriously it screams that after doing the whole job so excellent the finishing touches set the bike back. change the headlight as soon as possible coz u have a greek god in hand.

Hey nice job....could you tell me if the forks bottom out especially under heavy braking considering RD is heavier than the FZ..also, are there any minor modifivations required for assembling these forks on the rd?

wow...wonderful job!! Love the way the stripes on the tank come apart from several other things

. Its nice, shiny, and being an RD would be ripping and roaring too.

The headlight is subjective I would say. For me, I dont like that headlight even in the FZ, I think it kinda makes the bike droop, like a hunch back person.

But overall superb effort.

looks!!!!!?????? the headlamps!!! Dont do this to a RD! rest of it should work well! Please, the headlamps!!!!

P.s : Those who love the RD are comfy with the looks. If there is anything one has to do, it has to be its electricals nothin more perhaps!

Hi There, The whole setup might have taken a very good time and lot of skill out of you, but what i feel being an RD owner, we need to bring back the beast to its original condition, not adding an 'TVS speedo' or something like that, its not an good idea. But overall a good job done.

Well..I am visiting this thread after nearly 5 years. Infact I had forgotten that I had even posted here

. Thank you everyone for the comments. The headlight still the same. Never got to finish it's running in till now( have done only around 900kms on that rebuilt engine) due to me moving over to England!! Now waiting to come back and ride it soon.

hello Mr. Gill, yes FZ handle bar can be directly put on the stock RD and also on the RX for that matter, adjusting it (a bit forward) will avoid any fouling with the fuel tank.
