Sweet RD400 custom.
As seen at the "Riding Into History" motorcycle show in St Augustine recently. There's a LOT of love in this build. As nice as it is you could still ride the hell out of this bike.

Reader ride. An unusual kovrovetc-minsk framed 175cc.
Valentin Voynov sends in this cool custom build. I confess that I don't know much about the ofiginal bike but I like hat he did with this. More proof that you don't need a deep pockets to build a cool bike.

Thanks very much for sending this in. I love getting bikes from other parts of the world. Especially customs. I enjoy seeing what other people are doing to their bikes. It's inspiring and it opens up the possibilities. Te-a's paint work is simply fantastic. Check out his blog new blog for more examples.

A very Nice RD400 special.
Found this over on USA2strokers site. H2Ken just posted a really nice RD400. Great Build!
From the owners comments on the thread:
Hey everybody, today is the first day on the site. I had no idea it would be this connected. I will tell you a bit about my bike. !977 rd 400 I picked it up in a purchase with a couple of suzuki Gs 1000s's. It really did'nt cost me much several hundred dollars. It was running at the time,9,700 mi. painted orange, it was'nt perfect, but it was nice. I tore it down and started with the crank, and worked my way up. did a little match porting, head milling, there was a near new Pro-x piston set in it with coatings, and a fresh bore. Tranny was perfect, it had barnett plates, springs, 32mm carbs, and D&G pipes. I added some coils, and plug wires, Yboot w/ K&n filter, wheel bearings, almost any wearable items. Went through the front forks, I did add new tubes, seals etc. Progressive rear shocks. The front fender and the rear tail section are both Airtech pieces that I bought at Delmar 8-10 yrs ago for next to nothing. The tail section is an XR 750 tail section. I Had to weld cross frame braces for seat support, and it bolts right on to the tank rear mounts. It is has industrial Felcro holding it on the cross members, clean and no other bolts, as is the seat that a local upolster made for me for $50.00. Rock solid. it does'nt budge. I panted in my driveway, decals under clear. New avon's were on it when I got it. Bead blasted the rims and Clear coated them. Powdercoated everything else. I live close to a Hilco (fasteners) so everything is stainless allen head or ss button head. I keep everything I restore, so it gets the treatment. It runs crisp and hauls ass! To be honest guy's I built this for my wife! But I wll ride it to "Clear it's throat" it is fun! I am in the need for some nice insturments, so get the word out. If you were lucky enough to make it to Cooks for the Two stroke show, you may have seen my 1972 Kawasaki H-2 lime green modified sitting in the middle area. Its really stupid fun too! Anyway thanks for your interest, I'll post the 2 Gs 1000 s's up when I finish them. Ken
Nicely Done!

Maybe the nicest RD400 Daytona I've seen.
A really stunning build. It'd be really hard to improve on this one.

Sweet RZ wheeled RD350.
Complete with dual 6 piston front brakes!! Because that 300lb bike might be a handful to slow down with just 4 pistons (or even 2)! That is my kind of OVERKILL!! LOL...
