This is a 1978 RM400C that has been retro-modded to look like an earlier RN Suzuki works bike.
Beautiful BIKE built to race, but probably is more ready to show.
New tires, grips, cables, restored frame, new 1st over top end, new chain, sprockets, seat cover, bars, etc.
Excellent project bike or restore to taste. This bike runs fantastic.
NO TITLE
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
This build started with a very clean, good condition, matching numbers '78 RM400C that then had the following work performed.
The fuel tank is a 1976 RM370 aluminum unit that was professionally restored. This included all minor dings removed with special metal working tools where NO BONDO was used. Tank was then prepared and sprayed with 2 stage fuel impervious paint and clear coat. Any spilled fuel will NOT HARM the finish on this tank. Champion & Suzuki 'S' stickers are above the clearcoat and can be removed if so desired. The 'SUZUKI' logo has been cleared over and is not removable.
Beautiful and rare aluminum Thor/ Pro-Fab / Moto-X Fox rear swing arm with 1" extra wheelbase.
INCLUDES NEW:
Freshly restored frame with new paint.
All new DC Plastics.
New crank and rod. All new internal crank seals, external gaskets, all new.
Fresh cylinder bore w/ high quality German made, Teflon coated piston (1.0 over) & rings-bearing-clips. WILL NEED NEW ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE by new owner.
Near perfect original exhaust and custom billet aluminum silencer (rebuildable).
Fresh seat cover & foam.
New chain. New chain defense. New chain tensioner built for Thor arm. New cables. New front sprocket.  New Uni foam filter.
Original KYB
rear shocks are for display only---no oil---no damping. Kick stand was lengthened 2" to accommodate the much longer suspension on this bike.
1980 RM400T KYB 38mm forks rebuilt with Fresh Fork Seals and oil. In reality, these '80 forks probably worked better compared to DeCoster's works forks in '75. These forks and triple clamps were                                                                                                                                                 custom fitted
to this frame. They were not a simple bolt on.
Brand new Metzler front & rear tires, never run.
New grips.
New graphics, cables, controls, Uni air filter, etc.
New bearings abound; wheels, steering, swingarm, brake arms/leve
rs.
Mikuni carb rebuilt. Shocks cosmetically restored.
An absolute ton of time, energy and money went into this build.
PAYMENT: I am not a big fan of paypal fees, especially on big ticket items like my bikes. If you want to pay me the total amount via paypal, you may do so only if you are willing to pay full price ('buy it now' option). Then I will absorb the fees. If you want to make me a lower offer, then you will need to add the 4% (international add 5%) to our agreed upon price to cover those fees.
Questions?--please call Mike -- 62three-23six-063six
This bike is 99.99% complete and in excellent running shape.
PICK UP IS PREFERRED but I can ship bike & parts anywhere in the lower 48 USA for between 0-0.
International Buyers; this bike does NOT have a TITLE so export would be expensive. Email me for details.
PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS CLOSELY AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
