I just can't stop fiddling with the R. This winter the 350 got totally re-ported by Ripp's Powersports in Beavercreek. He builds some freakishly fast machines. The porting looks orgasmic. So it's not really an LRD motor anymore. Got an ESR 40.5mm taper bored carb, and a custom made CPI pipie that took forever to get, but looks nice and makes your ears bleed (not a good thing, but sounds cool).
Tranny got completely rebuilt (basically replaced). Frame was powdercoated candy blue, and I did some polishing. Cracked ugly factory plastic became fixed pretty custom painted factory plastic with the help of our painter Russ. It's a pearl white with blue hues, and candy blue flames.
Shocks were turned into Elka SSD's (rear was also valved for the +4 swingarm) by the Quadshop.
I started breaking in the motor Saturday, hopefully this comming weekend I can part it's hair a little.

Here's a before pic, when I first got the bike about 2 years ago after I put the nerfs and front bumper on:
