Place your cursor over the pic in your album and left click On the next frame, go to bottom right corner and left click on the curved arrow Next frame, left click BBCode - the box below then shows as a bbcode. Left click on that box - it becomes highlighted in blue, and right click on it and select "copy" Come back to your thread, and right click and select "paste" and your pic will appear. I have Flikr open on a separate tab when posting pics - makes it really easy. Nice bike by the way - lots of potential in that  Looks like an earlier aircooled frame with rad mounts added ? Dusty |

Dusty Thanks for that dusty your probably just the man to help me on the rear seat support rail the one from the footrest curves in on the right but out on the left is this right or is it damaged |

I'd say the right is way too close to the swing arm

It does look like it turns in more than standard. I took some pics and measurements for you to compare;  20200603_121602 by dusty miller, on Flickr  20200603_121611 by dusty miller, on Flickr  20200603_121620 by dusty miller, on Flickr I measured from the top edge of the footrest mount to the start of the bend in the tube - 16.5 cm. Then I measured across from outside edge to outside edge - 25cm;  20200603_121602 by dusty miller, on Flickr Be interesting to see the other side of the bike. I wonder if both tubes have been altered deliberately ? If not then maybe it's atken a tumble that side. Has it been a race bike or something you are building from scratch ? Hth Dusty |

Got to say I agree with dusty had a look at mine it definitely looks like it bends in further, the rear subframe upright tube also looks thinner? Could be a trick of the photo, definitely doesn’t look right.

Hth Dusty ive had the frame in the back of me garage for about 30 yrs I got that and a 400 rolling chassis of a mate I don't know anything more than that about it, it looks like its factory formed that way the left hand side bens out the way you would expect but right side seems wrong ill hav eto go see my welder man and get it sorted |

Let’s start again had it got a frame number? I think i have just assumed it’s an rd frame, could it be an earlier tr/tz frame that’s been converted to mono shock as looking at the top of the frame where the seat sub meets the uprights it may previously had twin shocks?

Post by carioca656 on Jun 3, 2020 19:00:08 GMT 1
yeah its air cooled rd frame I think its a 1974 350 frame that was twin shock, ive converted it to monoshock and welded radiator brackets on modded it too use a lc seat and rear end tank I think is a early TZ or maybe TR its got a tz 350 motor in for mock up when done it will have a rd 400 bottom end with tz gearbox and dry clutch and a tz 750 cyl with steel liners fitted
no v5 for bike so I will have to get it registered aswell

I'm certainly no expert, but it looks like a road based Rd frame to me, but earlier than I initially thought. There are the reflector mounts on the frame under the front of the tank, plus just behind where the twin shock top mounts would be, you can see the threaded hole for the sub frame mounting, which supported the rear mudguard and indicators. Bracket for the electrics plate visible too. I wondered what the other side was like and whether it was formed that way on purpose. The first time I looked I though C or D model, but I think it's earlier, A or B coz the front right side engine bracket is welded onto the frame - C onwards was a removable bracket as far as I know. The other brackets on the frame tubes running up to the seat may be standard for the early Rd's - I don't know. ReedPete knows his way around these better than me, Gazzatt too. With that in mind, the dimensions I found may differ to an earlier frame so it's worth delving a little deeper I think. Even if it's had a ding at some point, I'm sure it's recoverable, and would make a lovely special  Dusty |

I was typing when you replied ! That confirms it then. It was the TD before the Tz, the Td's being aircooled, and the Tz's watercooled. Nice project Dusty |

Good news. I’ve got a tz700 top end on my Lc but newly nikasil not lined, be interested to see that. Presently in building an ac framed flat tracker with an ac bottom end with Lc or tz top end but keeping twin shocks. I’ll be interested in watching this develop.

If it’s sat for 30 years guess there is no rush, are the others strokers?

Looks like that tube has been cut out & welded back in upside down for some reason, then them two brackets would line up.
I would strip the paint back to see if there is any weld repairs.

Certainly looks wrong on the right tube. Did you measure across at the start of the bends ? Dusty |

Dusty Hi no ive not measured it im going to get it altered I was just wondering if a particular model/year was that way it will be very close to catching on swing arm if I leave it as is since I've converted to mono shock |

Just to update this. That frame looks exactly the same as my R5 Frame, which is the model before the RD350.
