Ive been told that Richy is a shit hot painter but does get very busy I've seen some of his work in photos and they look great but not seen any in the flesh I'm sure he will do a great job! Yours will be great mate! what design you having or is it going to be standard? This is my paint job. With RD on instead of RZ. Its the standard faraway blue paint job. www.rd350lc.net/3FB90.jpg

Nice one Zeb as promised the pictures but no video I'm afraid, bike runs nice on full choke but dies when off so need to sort that out first Rear sets, decided to get the back plates powder coated gloss black in the end as constantly polishing would have been a pain Fully fitted RGV rad with powder coated home made brackets and hoses from a CBR600 from E-bay with a RS250 T piece Clear rear light with LED bulbs and mini led indicators Acewell clock bracket powder coated with Koso temperature gauge with a bracket underneath (again powder coated) to allow for off-set of RD ignition switch Reservoir bracket and battery housing yes you guessed it all powder coated Speed sensor fitted to rear brake arm And some more side and front views If anyone can help with my non running problem off choke that would be much appreciated spec: Nikon pipes Ramair pod filters Carbon reeds 290 jets in 31K carbs but everything else standard trim Cheers Vin

Thanks anyway buddy but I bought some Hi-Tech's in the end! Fitted them............not that either so replacing the pattern head gasket for a genuine one and seeing if that is the problem process of elimination I think

Well I got so p***ed off with trying to sort out the taping noise I decided to buy another complete motor This one is now stripped and of to vapor blasting tomorrow so will post some piccies when done! It was a bit more than I wanted to spend but worth the money as it has had a crank rebuild and top end rebore and pistons 2k ago (receipt to prove) So hopefully this is the last push to getting it road worthy! Oh and I had a verbal offer of 3.5k for the bike the other day from a RD forum member ;D and didn't take it so what do you think of that pabs
