Hi Owen - replied cheers

I took the RG500 a ride in the weekend, about 10km up and down the road.
No rear brake - need a new hose.
Front brake - half bleed.

Motor felt nice and crisp, gearbox worked nice with the new 1st gear.. was first that has had the ratio changed from memory.
Clutch - lovely, no griping issue.

Steering head was loose and needs tightening.
All in all - quite a buzz to be riding it for the first time inn ages.

Took the motor to 7,000 RMP - that was enough - fueling felt good from low down right up to 7k.
I say a big thanks to Rick Lance for all his parts that just work so well, RIP Rick.

Need a new hose, used an old one to cut to the right length and joined it with a insert and glue, easy to be copied.
