So last weekend i did do, win this on ebay
https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTAwWDE2MDA=/z/OPEAAOSwZG9WkCmq/$_57.JPG
Not bad money at all considering what they go for now, went to pick it up on thursday night, eventually got it back after an encounter with a crazy dog lady as we turned the car around and a pot holes buckling a wheel on my mates car fucking the tyre and having to drive the last 5 miles home at 10mph.
Not been Mot'd since 2000 and been in a shed since then pretty much judging by the amount of rust/ or lack of.
Took the fairings off as they're horrid, i shall probably stick a circle headlight on the front so it's the same as the n2, the naked version of mine which is the 'f2'

Been real lucky soo far with it, one key fits all the locks, the tank has no rust inside or the seams on the outside leaking which seems to be a common problem with these, emptied the coolant out and it looked very fresh, engine turns over freely with the kickstart, clutch works and you can select gears,gearbox oil smells like oil so no worries that a crank seal has gone, yet...
Next plan is to Get a new battery, plugs and clean the carbs and see if it runs. ____________________ '00 Aprilia RS50 > '92 Honda CG > '99 Yamaha Fazer > '91 Yamaha RXS > '79 Suzuki X5 > 01' Honda Cg > 07' Honda Cg > 82' Kawasaki Z200 > suzuki gsxr 400 gk73a > honda vfr 400 NC30> Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2 > Kawasaki ZZR 600 D1 > Yamaha TZR 250 2MA >Suzuki TL1000R > Yamaha TDR250 > Honda 929 blade > Suzuki SV1000 > Honda H100

From one barn to the other.
Glad you're glad as I know you've been wanting one for a while but I must be one of the few people of my age that don't go gooey at a RD350.
Other than ditching the fairing and changing the headlamp what else is in store? ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

today i did do
https://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz176/robyarr/20160207_135832_zps79xufqjs.jpg
Carbs are now ready to go back on the bike, emulsion tubes have probably never been out since new
Also as gt200 fan said, i have bought some rd350 n2 clock cases, which i have now transfered my old clocks in to and i've got a bracket from an n2 all ready to go on, just need a headlight and that conversion is done, already sold the front fairing so that should cover the ridiculous price of the n2 bracket, which was about 70 quid as they're soo 'rare'
Hopefully have her running in the next couple of days ____________________ '00 Aprilia RS50 > '92 Honda CG > '99 Yamaha Fazer > '91 Yamaha RXS > '79 Suzuki X5 > 01' Honda Cg > 07' Honda Cg > 82' Kawasaki Z200 > suzuki gsxr 400 gk73a > honda vfr 400 NC30> Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2 > Kawasaki ZZR 600 D1 > Yamaha TZR 250 2MA >Suzuki TL1000R > Yamaha TDR250 > Honda 929 blade > Suzuki SV1000 > Honda H100

So update really , got the engine sorted, here's a few pics of it being rebuilt

Few things to add to the list really,
Rear brake cleaned, new seals and bleed nipple, fronts new nipples and bled up working well
r6 rear shock fitted, had to get some bushes made to fit the linkage for the existing system and holes to attach to the frame, linkage needed new bushes all the way through, but luckily checking the corresponding part numbers on ebay, instead of paying 70 quid at fowlers for 4 bushes, i paid about £15, so winnah
circle headlight fitted so now it does look like a proper N2
It started first kick when put back in the frame, just need to sort the small issue of fuel pissing out of everywhere on the rh carb, fork oil changed and it's ready for mot
