I decided to sell my bikes one at a time, this one first. I'll be keeping the green '76 and my T500 for a while yet, unless I get a serious offer.

I pulled the euro wire wheels off this bike and put stock mags back on it. The TZ front brake is still on the bike. It has new Avon tires with the wheel swap.
I'll have all my bikes at the DG 2-stroke meet as my riders, different ones on different days.
Please see the above link for details and specifics on the bike.
Asking $3000.

Mark

Well that is very annoying!
Here is the text from my original ad from there:

1977 RD400:
Yeah, it looks like a Daytona, but it isn't. It does have all Daytona bodywork, including the Daytona under seat tool box, oil tank, and a complete Daytona engine. The motor has a fresh top end with the rebuilt better non-daytona crank. It has the euro spec disc brake wire wheels with wider alloy rims and Buchanan's stainless spokes -$1000 all in the wheels. (I removed these and mounted stock 400 wheels now)
I built this a while ago so I don't remember everything, but I think it has new fork tubes and seals, Hagon shocks, new HVC front master cylinder. It has XS650 fork sliders so I could mount the big TZ brake disc up front. The brakes are awesome.
The paint is spray can lacquer I used while I was deciding what color I wanted to paint the bike.
I used this bike as one of my riders at the Deals Gap 2-stroke meet last year. Runs and rides excellent. One key matches the ignition, gas cap and seat. The gauges aren't original to this bike so the 20K miles don't really apply. I built this bike from the frame up as a keeper for myself, but nothing is forever.
With what the euro wheels cost, and the TZ brake I think $4000 is fair. If you want the bike cheaper I can mount up stock 400 mags and leave the big brake for about $3200. I'll sell the wheels separate after the bike sells.

the onlyRD 400 wire wheels sold in Europe was in UK on 1976, others countries got directly cast wheels.
Euro RD 250 1976 got wire wheels but still have a drum brake rear

That explains why it was so difficult to find that rear hub!
