Hey Stanko- I got a call from a guy wanting RD350 (LC?) cylinders. Can you help him out?
My daughter telling me like it is:"There is an old man in your face daddy!"

Yep, that's the one. I have an RZ calliper but it's completely different.Originally Posted by stanko

said Stanko somewhat nervously, as he tried to hide the massive pile of rare RD350 parts behind him."They're mine, all mine," he thought, "and with them I will complete my evil plan for world domination! Mu HAHAHAhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Too late, Stanko realised that he was laughing out loud....
Know anyone that can?

That's funny...
So, is it true? If so I know where bits are forthcoming for my 350lc...
I'd go for b if money wasn't an issue or d for a more realistic option...

IIRC, 83 (and maybe 84) caliper is the same as the 4L0/ 4L1. After that they went to the twin opposed piston caliper.

Got home from work, Skunk Control sees me twitching and tells me to go to the garage. Yes!
Change all the oils (gearbox and two stroke tank), fuel (with a little premix in case the injectors not working), air filter, pipes back on etc and kick it over. It fires and runs but not very well.
Check the pipes and the right hand one is cold. Swap the plug - still not going. Check spark. Owww! Yep, that's OK. Must be the carb. Pull the choke on and it runs on both - primary jet blocked I'd guess.
Pull the carb off and it's full of crystallised fuel. Pull the jets out and blow it out and clean it up, reassemble and refit. Yeah, that's a job I don't want to do too often.
Kick it over and its running on both cylinders now.
It's going to be option d till everything is sorted then I'll aim towards a restore sorted thing. I won't go so far as restickering the switch gear! It's for riding not polishing.

An update: it's all road legal and running. Went for a test ride on TCWNR last night and ran it to work and back today.
On the must do list:
1. new front tyre to replace the rear one on it, (Now done)
2. correct size rear tyre to replace the front-sized one on it, (Now done)
3. new front brake hose, (Now done)
4. new front brake seals,
5. replace the shock and rebuild the forks,
6. get the steering lock working,
7. recover the seat,
8. get the side cover welded (that's done; now to paint it),
9. fix exhaust leak.
That'll do for a start I think.
Still no photos sorry.
The brake calliper cylinder and piston was supplied by 'Mad Murray' a local RD/RZ 'enthusiast'. No seals available so I reused the ones in the old calliper (had to smash the cylinder out).
EDIT: couple of jobs done.
