Being a 70's kid I loved RD's and purchased thisbike in hopes of bringing itback to 100% mint againunfortunatelypending medical conditions & new bills force thesale before I could complete. I spent 20+ hrs cleaning itthen hadbike professionally and completely gone through 3/14 by Nielsen Enterprises of Lake Villa, L a well respected Honda/Yamaha dealer. Their mechanic actually owns an RD and went thru this bike with a fine tooth comb everything works as it should. Have all receipts for work done over $1800 notincluding the tires & misc parts I supplied to be installed listed below. This bike is bad ass EYE & EAR catcher as is but would only needs a few finishing touches to make it mint again...ie touch up motor paint, e chrome gas tank top and maybe front fender which has very slight pitting as picd.
