it does get a bit warm on hot days but its not too bad and on the colder days its like blown air central heating!!
The 350 graphic was used to hide the large holes in the dummy tool box , as its actually a radiator cover. The legsheilds are cut away underneath/front behind the front mudguard to provide an intake for the rad, it seems to work ok and I have a fan on it as well just in case it gets too hot in traffic.
Your 350 looks alot further on than mine , as mine is just a frame engine wheels and exhausts with nuts a bolts in a few boxes,
I have a couple of 350YPVS which i am trying to rebuild, also the engine for the sidecar is the 600, the blade engine (929 and 954cc) will fit and I have the both engine and running gear (exhausts/carbs or injection) for that but I think it wouldnt be competative against the lwb F1 type sidecars so we ended up staying with 600cc.
We have a couple of Cagiva 125 and some more RD350s that I am rebuilding. The chassis for the 500 came from Frank Sanderson at Lambretta Innovations in Preston, he specialises in bike engine conversions. I just put it together and got it running. Theres still loads to do on it, suspension is next on the list similar to the F2 from Maxton and a cr ratio gearbox and straight cut primary gears etc etc…… The other thing we do is sidecars, weve just started getting back into it and plan to be out next year for a few meetings, a pic is below with the older engine from a few years ago, it has the later RR injection engine now. I hope the pic comes through.
Ok thanks I’ll try again tonight, they are a bit hairy flat out but seem stable enough, with the 500 as with the normal bike the power kicks in around 8k rpm and but its still ok , it just lifts the front wheel up. The F2 is for the track but I have seen a couple on the road. I’ll try to put some more pics on tnite
I have some better pics than the one you have, if you can advise how to upload them I’ll put them on, the one at the back is an rd350ypvs, the rg has taken a few years to get on the road, its a tuned gamma engine rescued from a breakers just before he took the hammer to it for the ally
Twin disks on the front single on the rear and should be good for 90hp ? the other hobby we have is an F2 sidecar with a CBR600RR engine, slightly different but just as quick.
