A few notes:
This bike started life as a 1973 RD250 and was converted to an RD350 at some point prior to our ownership.
The VIN # is 352-101206, I used the title number for the action as ebay would not accept the old style Yamaha VIN numbers with 9 digits.
The bike has 183 miles showing on the guages. These were reset when the bike was partially restored some time ago by others. I would estimate the mileage on the bike to be in the 10k range at most, given the great condition, but virtually no miles on it since we completed our work, bike is still breaking in. I don't know the complete history of the bike, we purchased it as a partially finished custom project from the prior owner.
