    If I had a chance to buy another of those, I'd plead with Mrs Nudie to let me do so.

    That might be very relevant; I think he might be this guy http://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/M...eadid=23007375
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    I had an RD350LC with race fairing etc and then 2 RD350YPVS's.

    Really great bikes and as long as you adjusted the carbs using the window and your ear ie for the drop and removed the baffles fortnightly, poured petrol on, set light to and then wire brushed to decoke they were bloody quick bikes.

    My RD350LC did 125mph with the race fairing.

    Then I put an RG250 Gamma engine in it.......twas fast.

    The frame on the YPVS was tuned to tighten up at 80mph. You could actually feel the difference.

    Great bikes and if I had the dough I would have another as a second bike.
