Searching for an RD400 race bike: last I saw it had a yellow frame and black bodywork with gold painted cylinder heads and white painted spokes of alum. rims. with black plastic front fender.

I (Michael Schultz of SLC, UT) traded it to Dan Soloman of (SLC) who then either sold or traded it to someone else, perhaps from Colorado.

If you have seen this bike or it sounds familiar please contact me. It's a bike I'd like to track down for it's history.
