Quick update, I finished this project a couple of months ago but with it being track season, I moved on and forgot to post pics of the finished article!
Here are some pics of the bike as it sits today, it runs like a champ, sounds like I remember from 40 years ago and I am a very happy camper!!
I am going to make some stainless rear pegs to complete the look and corrosion proofing which is why they are not installed in these photos!
Next on the block will either be an RGV250 or RG500.......
