About This Project

This Blog is about the restoration project of a 1979 RD400f Daytona Special (see pic below). I bought this basket case on ebay for $800. The irony is I purchased this same bike new for $1800 in 1979!

I figure it will take me about $3,000 to get to decent condition lets see! My current plans are the bore it one size over, new paint and decals, powder coat all the black parts and frame, rebuild the brake systems, new tires, new seat cover, new chain and sprockets. An yes many new nuts and bolts (i think I am missing a few). Also new pipes, carbs and airfilters, and some electrical parts
