    Not any TZ350 i ever seen was Reed Valves
    Swingarm looks G on TZ350 yet frame looks to be earlier
    Clutch is Wet so not TZ . Cover on left sider is early RDA/B
    That said wheels look to be Morris but as they not painted they will likely be un-serviceable.
    It says numbers matching i would say its a RD with very few Tz and some period bits
    Forks are RD as is calipers Rev counter is RD but yokes might be TZ or aftermarket top yoke
    Tank looks late TZ.

    Seller doesn’t know shit from chewed dates. The only things tz are the , shock, cylinder, head, water pump and rad. The cyl and head are 74/75 700 tz750. Swing arm is not tz350. Shock is C-e 76-78 250/350. The rest is some poor rd350. The most valuable item is the tz bits and the lectron carbs. 68hp/187mph go racer. Lol....

    So what do you reckon the swingarm is I never noticed the round top tube, looks mabye TS125ER with a bit welded on top.
    The yokes although gull shaped still dont look righ to be TZ, t plus i think they were fatter forks on TZ than thr 34mm forks on the early RD, although i dont know what mm the TZ a/b Was

    TR3/TD3 and TZ250 through to B model 1975 were 35 upper, 34mm below the bottom triple clamp. The lower tripe clamp looked very RD in that it was steel. The upper was very steeply raked and alloy. Those look more RD with the handle bar mounts ground and filled. RD alloy legs quite often got used with a disc brake conversion, but they are specced for 267mm disc....That is a 298mm disc. Probably why the caliper is not bolted on....

    The yokes are not anything TZ from 1976 onwards. had enough of those in my hands over the years. The lower is alloy and 35mm through to 1980 when they went to 36mm legs (but tapered to 35mm at the top).

    This is a 250F/G or 350F/G/H swing arm.

    Okay the RDs were 34mm A/B then 35mm the last 400 Daytona might have been thicker again they then thinned them on the LC.
    The yamaha twins book i have has the TZ growing nearly every 2 years.
    That said i have found some stuff wring in the twins book some of the suff like the chassis and the gear ratios they mention as only being on 400's were on the 250's as well.
    Some have said they used to use the Steel Early caliper on the TZs as they were stronger and flexed less the Early TZ750 looked Steel though.
    Pretty sure as long as its like for like 2 piston opposed A/B RD they bolt on to the TZ as the forks mounting were higher onthe TZ forks?
    RD C models on were silly slider calipers i actually think the are not even R and L handed or different front to rear.

    TZ fork dia didn't change again until L model in 84 when they went from 36mm of the G / 1980 to 40mm
    C-E 76-78 TZ250/350 plus A-C 74-76 TZ750 had cast iron calipers identical to the RD two piston ones. People reckon there's a slight variation in a casting mark, but nothing really.
    79-80 TZ250/350 F-G and D model / 77 onwards TZ750's had the alloy ribbed calipers (plus also the TZ125G). They flexed and many riders took them off. Even Roberts did on his works 500 used the same RD style cast iron ones in 78!
    In 1981 with the new Powervalve TZ250H, they reverted to the cast iron black caliper and then in about 83 a new works style allow two piston caliper also found on the TZ500J.
    All these calipers are interchangeable with each other. Yes, the caliper mounts are higher on the TZ's than the RD's as these all used 298mm discs.
    Non of the TZ's ever used a sliding pin caliper.
    McKellars Factory road racer Yamaha book is full of inaccuracies, which have been repeated as fact for many years. E.g, TZ750C model (1976) he quotes 40 being made with the first one as 409-100101 frame / engine number. Mine was higher than 409-100160 (in fact the highest serial for that year that any one has ever seen)and I know others which were higher than 409-100141 that he would have you believe was the highest.

    if you have a close look it has a link to all the parts they have for the machine, on trade me often you get a bike and 'auction is for one bolt' scenrio, ebay have stomped on this.
    what is of concern is said bolt here is described to be in good condition though, not a great advert really

    " would suit someone who has the time . . . "

    What was Sean Connery's character in Highlander? He'd probably have the time.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
