Hahaha look at that tiny little exhaust. Cant wait to see it completed.

except there's 3 of them

Gotchya. New there had to be a good reason.

Dear god a 75whp two-stroke would be awesome. Is this engine fully race prepped by you or is it stock? Sorry if it's somewhere in the other thread, I've just read this one.

unless the rd400's were a twin? 

How on Earth I skipped this thread?



Sent from my toilet seat using HTC FartPhone

The RD400 is a Two-Stroke Air cooled Parallel Twin. Stock they made about 40 rearwheel stock, but the beauty was in their potential. Easily taken to 50-60 rwhp for the street and as I said 70-75 rwhp in roadrace trim. Ed

Bumpdates!

GS needs more 2 strokin, any more progress EdE?

Hi Guys, The economy has made this build a lot harder than it's had to be but There's been a lot of progress. I've got my fully rebuilt, nicely massaged RD400 engine bolted in, I just wiring in the ignition and have spark (you can't see it in the pic), I need to finish rebuilding the carbs, add a chain, buy a few more minor parts and mount the pipes and she'll be a rollin and a runnin.  Ed



I've got an add in the wanted section for a seat and a couple other parts "preferably" local if anyone has any.

Great combo 

nice project. I just started a KX500/GS500 race project. Lance

Well at long last she's finally done. I finished modifying the pipes yesterday, fired her up and took her for a ride today. Rips like an RD and handles like a sportbike.. imagine that.. sweet!!
Thanks everybody who helped me with parts!! now to put some miles on her!! Ed

 

now PLEASE tell me you have a GoPro or Drift camera or something!!

take some footage!! .. NEED to see that wee beastie running!! 

Yes! Must see how that thing goes!

Congrats Ed! She's a real beauty, that's for sure!

  Very nice good sir!  I hope (really really hope) you can get some video.

She's a thing of beauty!! Great work, very clean swap. Looks like it belongs in there

This has spurred me to find another gs and start searching for a rd engine! Would definitely love to see a vid of her running/riding

Nicely done, looks factory 

Servus Ede,

great work, RESPECT

makes me want to get to work too! 

Are you running RD controls and harness with GS gauges?

I got zero work done today thinking about this build! haha

Bumpdates! Riding season's right around the corner, any chance we'll get to see a vid of this beast revving?

I'm getting the paint done right now so she's been down for a few weeks but she should be back up within a week. I don't have a video camera... but I've really been enjoying riding the bike it came out really nice.  Ed
