I just picked up R .... I have plenty of work to do but it starts , runs, stops, idles and the horns work! Now the elbow grease. |

Thank You Gentlemen.... I have had my eye on it since 2020...it is imported from South Africa so I had to wait for it to clear customs. Iconic Motorbikes received 3 of them and I got "the pick" of the litter as Adam ( owner of Iconic ) is a good friend of mine.
Bike looks complete but needs a real good going over. Keith ( krgood0 ) will be invaluable ... THANK YOU KIETH!
The bike started right up and idled perfectly. Exhaust have been repainted so no Black Chrome but I can live with that.
I will post more pics as I go....again, THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.... |

Pretty sure the RC had a matt or satin black exhaust anyway so regular ceramic coating should look pretty well correct. The RD had the black shiny chrome, same finish as the 11F. |
