This was a project of mine that I finished around 2 years ago and then sold it to a friend who covered a few hundred miles on it then moved abroad so I bought it back.
Its a matching numbers UK Yamaha RD400e that I turned into a TZ type cafe racer by fitting all the best period 1970's aftermarket parts , the best being the fully rebuilt and very rare Fahron 430 watercooled kit . There were only around 35 of these kits made by Ron Phillips at Fahron engineering and are very hard to come by , including the original water pump, the pistons were brand and so was the crank etc and done a few hundred miles.
The wheels are CMA , swinging arm JMC, Koni dial a ride shocks, new raask rear sets , rechromed forks , rebuilt brakes , hel lines, ceramic blasted top end and crank cases , powder coated frame etc , TZ points cover, 34 mm mikunisbrand new stainless one off exhausts, new 33mm PWK carbs, alloy rad , new pro paint set , Avon tyres , Cibie concave headlight, skimmed drilled disks.
Everything on this bike is rebuilt or new and its in show or parade condition , I've only covered around 50 this year miles on the road and this bike has bags more power than my tuned RD400 and or my LC350 , it pulls really strong from low revs but I haven't run it in anger .
It ran up to temperature of around 60' and held that temp on a dual carriageway for a mile or two.
I have the V5 in my name and I have a ridiculous amount of money in this bike which could easily be made standard again but I wanted top spec and different. .
If the doesn't sell I might sell Fahron top end , water pump, carbs and exhausts as a package and put the standard parts back on that I still have i. e. 400e top end , carbs , airbox , wheels, new Allspeeds.
