Wow, this is ironic, or is it coincidence? I saw your web page not long after I got my R5, and I liked how your bike looked with the bar-end mirrors. That's...
Hi Lawrence, wonder if you got a message on another post, but I have two of those mirrors, brand new with tuning forks embossed on the back but missing the...

NOS R5 tank badges are really high dollar items. You can get repros for about 35 from www.oldbikebarn.com or www.badgereplicas.com.au The screw holes in the...
hi guys, i'm new to the furom so sorry if its a stupid question. i just picked up a 71 r5 from a buddy of mine but am thinking about swaping the r5 motor for a...
The RD350 motor is a direct bolt in, you can even just bolt a RD350 top end on to a R5 but then you still just have a 5 speed. The RD400 will bolt right up but...
... Actually, I think the frame will need to be modified to accept the RD400 engine. The 400 had rubber isolation mounts to cut vibration. Dave in Denton...
The frame needs no mods to slip a RD400 cranckcase in it, the rubber mounts are recessed on the 400. Tight fit maybe, but that's about it. ... RD350 ... RD400...
Very interesting, that opens up some new options I was not aware of! I asked that question on the USA 2 Strokers board some time ago, and they told me it took...
I think the problem with getting the 400 motor in an R5 frame is it can't be done with the top end on. You don't need R5 pistons unless you want it to be 100%...
I thought the ports that are in the RD pistons could not be used in the R5 as they are there for the larger intake ports on the RD? If that's the case, you...
That was my impression as well: that the porting between the R5 and RD was such that the pistons were not interchangeable. Didn't the RD have reed valves while...
If it helps, my R5 has a RD350 motor in it and it does have reed valves. Chris in maryland That was my impression as well: that the porting between the R5 and...
thanks for the info everyone. Of course i have more questions. is the r5250 frame the same as the 350? i might be picking up a 250 frame and i'll swap the...
If by r5350 you mean DS7, then yes. They are identical. The only difference in the two is the piston bore (64mm for the 350 vs. 54mm for the 250) and carb...
