I wonder if that is Dunstall bodywork.

Been away for awhile and just now catching up. I clicked on the link only to find that it'd been deleted. :(
How much did it sell for? Or, at least, how much was the seller asking?

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I'm not a fan of the front fender either. However, they were very popular at the time. :)

I hope there's nothing wrong with a little self promotion? :)

Definitely congratulations!
Having started my cafe for the 1st time in over 40 yrs, I know how great you feel.

NICE job! Personally, I consider your pics to qualify as bike porn. ;)

I run clear fuel filters on my RD. Cheap, easy and effective. ;)

I apologize for the incorrect advice. My mistake and I assure you that it wasn't made intentionally.

Personally, I think your pics border on pornography. VERY nice!!!

Based upon my experience of putting a '74 RD350 motor into a '72 DS7 (250) frame without a problem, I'd bet there wouldn't be a problem in the least.

I had high hopes that this design would work for pulling the fork seals on my '74 GT750 but it didn't. :(  The diameter of the fork leg isn't large enough to get the washer in there to pull. And, if I was able to get it in there, there isn't enough room between the underside of the seal and the shoulder inside the leg. I'm bummed but hoping that a bearing puller available for borrowing at the local auto parts place will work.

The fork seals I ordered arrived today. Yes!
Now I can start reassembling the forks on my GT750 with the emulators and springs I purchased from Race Tech.

I second the Matt W accolade. He spent far more time responding to my email than I would have ever expected. I ended up buying Race Tech springs, gold emulators and the adapters. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? I'll let you know when I get everything back together and return from a ride in the twisties.

Clever idea. Personally, I've had good luck using several stainless hose clamps spaced uniformly around the outside of the spring.

Being the outspoken and opinionated person that I am, I'll say that "malignant" is one word that never came to mind regarding the seat.  You're too kind.
