S,
Like the idea and it is progressing quite nicely, I have a thing about Blue & White bikes they always look "clean" even when they are not.

Liking the RD mate. Had a 250 myself with eventually the engine rebuilt and tuned by Mr Harry Barlow. 350B barrels and his handmade pipes went like the proverbial off a shovel.

S,
yes Harry & I have known each other for a long time now (see his page on my site :-}that is a set of Harry's pipes on "Metallica" & "Yellow Perils" pipes are Barlow specials
I have spent a lot of time with him in his workshop bouncing tuning this or that around and I learned a hell of a lot from him. I was cheering him on when he went State side to race with Spargo & co and when he had 3 bikes of his in the top four at Daytona that made me VERY proud to be a fellow Brit. and it finally shut up the Nay sayers

Wish I still had my RD. Rebuilt it myself. Had to get someone else to finish the electrics (pattern forming here) but what a laugh especially after I'd finished running in the engine.

G,
do not back quote your elders, yeh I know, I did too. but now i am on the receiving end. LoL

Nice work S. the bike looks real good, Blue & white was always a favourite colour scheme of mine, always look clean.

Thanks YG
I did my best in the circumstances. just got to finish small little bits and the wheels. they can wait for new tyre time though.
Oh and the paint colour is Nissan Bayside Blue. Used on the R34 Skyline for a very short time and a very rare model so I've been told.
