Description
I have decided to sell my RD350B. It looks amazing in silver/ grey pearl paint and is in fantastic condition as it has only covered 100 miles since returning from a full professional restoration. The bike has historic vehicle status and is a matching numbers machine. It also has a dating certificate from the Aircooled RD Club and its original owner's handbook. This includes a handwritten testimonial of the restorer's restoration work. (see below)Bike restoration history: The bike was purchased in 2020 from Summerbud Classics as a US import. The engine was stripped, and the crank was refurbished by Grampian Motorcycles. Barrels NOS, engine covers vapour blasted and powder coated. New correct for year Keyster carb kits fitted along with new NOS slides. The carbs are repainted using fuel-resistant matt black. The frame, swinging arm, and all brackets are powder-coated gloss black by Perfect Coatings of Meppershall. Wheels rebuilt using new flanged Morad rims with stainless steel spokes by R A Waldron, new Avon Roadrider’s fitted. Brakes are all new including hoses, master-cylinder and brake calliper. Fork legs hard chromed by Philpot, fitted with new seals, and lower legs polished, new rear Hagon shocks fitted. New chain & sprockets. The fuel tank was professionally cleaned and refurbished inside by Steve Cooper. The paint was done by Gary at Dinks & Dents of Leighton Buzzard in beautiful silver/ grey pearl, complete with Imageworks graphics. Seat base blasted and powder coated new seat cover fitted. Both front & back mudguards have been re-chromed. UK rear light unit fitted. Bolts and brackets re-zinced. Switchgear, clocks, cables and rubber mounting are new or refurbished. The bike is fitted with new stainless-steel downpipes, to bring this bike up to show standard the new owner could consider refurbing or replacing the silencers (see photo’s). The total cost of purchase and restoration was £7000.
