My bike... Have all parts, but, I prefer to use "semi-body". The seat has been reformed, is not this of the picture.

The bike is in the final phase of restoration, includes some upgrades like radiator with automatic fan, brakes, calipers, rear shock absorber, exhaust pipes, water hoses, Powerjet Flatslide carbs, etc. The tank, has been reformed, with internal rust treatment, with corrosion and gasoline coating. The petcock has been resized for more flow rate. Engine is factory standard.
then post the final photos

Thanks my friend. This color theme is of the '88 RD350 black model ( brazilian model ). These brake calipers are of the Yamaha XJ6 model. They are "plug & Play" type, don't need of the adaptation. The Brake disc are of the '01 Yamaha YZF R1, they are "plug & Play" too. But, you need to retreat with bracket in both side, because otherwise the calipers pull over in the brake discs.
