I think all the parts are here. Now all I need is the time to do the work and prep for my road trip coming up to the House of Haase, date yet to be determined. This weekend while stripping my Kubota 8950 DT for a water pump change my intent is to rebuild the caliper with the new s/s pistons from HVC and seal kit from Economy Cycle. I also have to bead blast and clean the carb bodies for a set of high top carbs I am building up.
All stock ( not for long) :twisted: :twisted: 75 RD 350 12K

The bikes are getting a little rare. It looks to be a good candidate for leaving stock. Just a thought.

Progressive suspension springs are on the to do list. Yes I'm gonna run Uni pods, Ol Podnah and the banshee intakes I have with the crossover tube. Ric, the disgusting stockness must go... :D :D
