    Sweet as. I like the colour scheme, reminiscent of the Skoal Bandit team - as said by Mellwr1 earlier. Surprised it doesn't contain some part of Kevin Schwantz's GP Bike, there was a time when every 2-Stroke Suzuki owner in UK Bike Mags claimed to have some exotic factory bit, from the Pepsi bikes. Anyways, you've done a great job there. Stay Safe and all the best.

    Bike Looks Dope in them colours. Have ridden ZXR's/GSX-RI's/ F/Blades etc... But... The feel/ anticipation of a 2T just about to ' Come on the pipe' Yeah, That's Living all right ! Thanks for sharing !

      Thanks so much for watching and sharing your views. Obviously I have to agree. This bike sat along side my brand new GSXR and Blade in the 90s but it was the one I kept. It was a scrappy dog, in comparison but topped them both with the fun factor. That says something... Back then, it's handling was poor and it had no brakes but now it's as good. Love it!

      ​@fishbmw Black and red is more sleek but thought it looked new and a bit different. Hoping to go out to Hastings on Monday with Simon on his black and red one, plus a Pepsi. Thought it would be epic to have 3 versions. Just need a Walter Wolf and Classic Blue/White for the full set. ❤

    Did you buy a pre painted panel set for your RG? If you did do they fit well, looks like it does.
    I often wondered about the tank cover that comes with the kit, how they fit, as a good protection method for the tank.
    I still haven’t got my gamma on the road as the ignition barrel is now junk! ATB

    • @RG500_detectorist
      @RG500_detectorist  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, direct from China. They are OK with some fiddling. Quite weak though. They do the job. The tank cover is dead easy. I was amazed to find a perfect tank underneath. It just pushes over and hugs. Nothing else required.

    I don't think it's the case that the KTM couldn't' keep up, I think it's more that you ride like a dangerous prat in a built up area and he doesn't

      As for setting up carbs , dyno is the only way to go👍too much risk guessing with jetting, and expensive if you get it wrong🙄

    That KTM was not unable to keep up, stop dreaming. It was just driven by a person that does not drive like you (and like another thing, starting with as) in urban environment. Should he have wanted to show you his tail light, with same weight and about twice the power, it would have been folded quick.
