I just picked up a partially restored 1982 Yamaha RD350LC. My van is filled with a dissasembled motorcycle. Now the fun begins. I hope to get it looking like new over the net few months...wish me luck!

Just an update...
Bike is a rolling chassis now. Wiring harness and the tail piece has been installed. Brake light and signal lights are installed and working. I need to start working on cleaning up the tank, side covers and fenders for painting next.
At some point I need to replace all the engine seals and then cross my finders and hope it runs.
