Reader rides! Some really nice customs RD Cafe's

Murray Pawluk sends in some of his builds! Nice stuff! Sorry Murry, I've been waaaaaay slow getting back to this board.

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.

One hell of a sweet RD400

Congrats to Damon on such a sweet ride!

Hi there, Tony McGuire here again from East Yorkshire in UK, just finished my RD400 winter makeover and thought you'd like to see it, I've gone for the period special style as I'm bored of building stock bikes, the paint is kinda TZ/Daytona style, which i did myself as I'm a classic bike painter..
hope you had a great Christmas.. i did as i spent mine in the workshop finishing the RD!
Tony

OK Back to posting!

Michael sends in this really boss RD400...

Reader Ride. Land Speed Record Holding RD400

Mark Atkinson who also sent in this bike included a few pics of a fairly well know bike in the Yamaha 2-stroke circles.

The landspeed bike is mine. Ed Erlenbach built it originally, and has three records with it. The picture I sent you is the bikes first time at the salt flats. I never was able to make a pass under full power as it got hot. I am working on a system to keep it cool right now so next year I hope to break some records. The last time Ed had it on the dyno it made a little more than 100 HP, and it feels like it. It is magical when it comes on the pipe about 10,000 rpm. Unreal! I will send you another pic of some more of my smokers.


Thanks Mark that's outstanding.  I always wondered what happenned to Ed's bike after he got out of the 2-stroke game.

Ha!  Funny to see this pic from Murph!  He's been camped out in Bonneville and posting up a storm over on his blog for a while now.  Great Guy.  Check him out!
