Rd350 Hybrid F2

[evochris]

Hi all, as you may be aware I have had the F2 in the Hybrid build section I thought it would be a good idea to stick it in the finished Hybrid section,  because it’s………finished.
Thisis my first hybrid, I have built/refurbed many bike over the last 20 years but have to say this has been my most fun, due to the nature of the beast (2 stroke RD). The donor bike was a Bandit 400, the wheels and cycle parts are the same as the Rgv VJ21 only a different headstock and swinging arm, bearings and bushes etc. Every step of the way has been carefully thought about so it can be reversed with the minimal of work to standard spec (ish, not many green bolts here). Super pleased with the result, exactly as I imagined it to be. So, to everyone supported and encouraged through the build, I thank you all. The words of encouragement kept me on track.
below are the before and after

Cheers, it runs lovely, smooth and confident, better tyres have helped, feels a little more up to date.

Hi

Looks good, I've nearly finished my hybrid F2, will try post pictures when it's done, hopefully next weekend,

What pipes are you using ? They look good, I'm thinking of replacing my microns with some other expansion chambers ready for the engine upgrades (+2mm crank, +1.5mm bore and some porting work hopefully by Mick Abbey), already running Zeeltronic, V force 4 reed blocks and PWK 28MM carbs.

Thanks

Look forward to seeing your build please put up some pics, sounds like a nice bit of kit. I fitted stainless midrange pipes from Norbo, think they are Muttsnutts pipes.👍
