This Yamaha RD350 Cafe Racer is a one of a kind. Richard Weslow of Circle K Kustoms has just send us a inside story of the build and we couldn´t me more pleased! It isn’t even Christmas yet!
They grafted an old RZ race bike into the RD350.
The combination of the low weight and rather simple technique makes it a perfect starting point to build a lightweight and powerful racer!
Where it all started
Just some “old bikes” many would say….
Soon after finding the bikes, they were stripped and the heat was on!
They moved the swing arm pivot point back 3 inches and with the rz mono shock and swing arm it gave a 6 1/2 inch stretch to the rear .
Seems like it all fits together. Just take a look at at that front end
Whoohoo, the 2-stroke powerplant is fitted into the frame
Vintage Ducati seat
Avon lynx front clip hand built rear sets on a forge to fit around the pipes.
Barlow porting banshee reed blocks boost bottle moto Carrera pipes and a little 70`s black magic.
The details on this bike are amazing.
Richard: “Cant forget Kurt Schwengel and his brother and dad for helping could have not done it without those guys”
