    Hats off to you Jayakrishnan, great instance of great restoration!
    Glad to see Hunk shocks doing duty on such a legendary bike.

      Amazing. As a kid from the 1990s, I didn't really know much about the RD350. But from whatever I could gather online, it sure is a masterpiece and a true legend. Everytime I see one, my yearning to have one sometime in life grows even stronger. And your example has taught me that owning one in pristine condition even now is difficult but by no means impossible. Congrats on the great restoration job.

          Would caught my eye is the fuel tank cap, have never seen or probably noticed this earlier. Very cool
          Hi Asif, the tank cap for the US spec tank is different and that is fitted here and hence looking different

            Beautifully restored RD350 from my time...You had spent a lot of quality time and money..The fit and finish looks extremely good,and good to see that you had tried your best to keep thestock look.
            The front disc looks too big ..and wear pattern shows slight miss alignment.
            Just my thought...

              Hai @jayakrishnanv

              Thats one great rebuild there.
              All wishes to you and your ride.

              I would really like to know about the disk brake part. Like where did you source it from and the cost involved.

                    Looks great Enjoy your ride!

                      You are 'a bit' in and out? Like Sriram said your last post was 1.5 yrs back

                      And if you didn't notice, I restored a 135 that I was talking about the last time we met (which was in Ice Age)

                      Sorry jayakrishnanv for the OT.

                            Thank you Karthik, Attaching the pics of the engine build what i have ...regarding the cost i picked this from UK. Crank rebuild and rebore were done here in UK and assembled back in India. Regarding the cost of engine and rebuild it was very minimal compared to the preciseness and quality, but have paid a lot for the shipping and but as we all know in the craze to get it completed after a point i dropped the tracking of cost to enable it to be done up to my liking than a fixed budget as my brother and myself know that we r gonna keep this bike for our life...
