Hi, new here. Bought this off TradeMe a couple of years back. It was a complete dog, not even worth the bother of trying to start, I doubt it would have as the electrics were toast. So I stripped it down for a full rebuild. Painted frame, 100% fresh engine, Powerdynamo CDI ignition, halogen headlight, overhauled brakes with all stainless bits, carbs, electrics, suspension, etc. etc. Pipes are stainless, made by Fukui racing in Japan. They let you keep the stock pegs and stands, unlike most pipes that require a few modifications to fit.
Just got it fired up this weekend. Not a concours resto by any means, but mechanically, no stone was left unturned. She's meant to be ridden, not looked at! Sounds sweet and she runs awesome, but still breaking in the engine so have to take it easy! Will try and get some footage soon : Any other RDs out there on this board?
