Hi all

Thought I would share my build




Sorry it’s a link to the rd site as member there too as Honda has a yellow 350lc stable mate for company plus a one off hybrid that is slowly evolving




Hope you like and will and will add some more pictures and updates as progress is made with the tank and panel restoration and engine rebuild this winter

Best wishes always Al

That looks a very clean Honda 400 what needs rebuilding ?
Is that a US model with the chrome rear lamp bracket and black indicators?

Hi

No it’s a UK bike

Is just the original rear light holder was rot and fancied something different hence the non standard indicators and headlight, bar end mirrors and twin horn look etc




Done lots already such as rebuilt wheels with ally rims with SS spokes from Central Wheel, rebuilt the forks with rechromed stanchions and added that factory look twin front disc upgrade



Rebuilt the clocks



And done a few other changes like the Delkevic exhaust which sounds very nice and brings back that teenager rebellious streak






But to finish her off I would really like to restore the tank and side panels back to new and pull the engine for a full rebuild including that upgrade to electronic ignition just its a bit more complex than the RD

(Carbs already rebuilt with new rubbers etc tank lined with a POR15 tank lining kit and added an in line fuel filter too just to ensure no muck gets back into those rebuilt carbs





Even managed to find a brand new chrome chain guard the other day finish off the rear



And to be honest I love my RD350Lc but the little Honda now has  somehow found a special place in my heart, something I thought would not happen when I got her around last Christmas
 
Will keep the thread updated

Best wishes all Al

Nice work, I love it! ;) What did you line the tank with?
