Got this yesterday , and it's nearly as nice as it looks





Going to tidy it up a bit , plated or stainless fasteners and revive the faded black plastic bits , it runs well but it's not quite as sharp as it should be
But it is very standard , and I quite like that , much as I want to mess about with it , must resist

That's nice, always liked the red colour combo, didn't realise you're supposed to ride them Smile
Those front brake lines look like they might snap off at any moment, surely that's not the correct angle for them??

Yeah the brake lines look odd , but the fittings all seem fine , I will replace them with some s/s ones to tidy it up a bit

Gary , yup has been nicely rebuilt tidy and original spec , but does need a few bits done , I'll get toddy gee'd up to get my last RGV giong again

Start the Fife 250 gp lol

Not sure why... have always loved the look of the stock pipes on the 21.
Congrats.
