Anyone looking for a nice 79 400 for what appears to be a very reasonable price?

That was my very first motorcycle when I was 16. Took me nearly a year to pay

for it. Sorry I ever got rid of it too.

You have no idea how tempting it is to get a '79 400. I remember racing that

thing for the very first time at Corona raceway here in California just like it

was yesterday.



I can't decide if I should keep or sell the YZ490. BUT.... I think my next bike

will be a 250 or larger downpipe Kawasaki so I don't get so much stink-eye at

work for racing everything but a Kawasaki.



If the brakes are arced properly, then the $200 is probably worth it. I have

decided to either buy or build an arcing jig so I can do it myself and maybe

generate a little extra income. Lots of people want their brakes done but

finding a place to have it done is limited.
