Nice work!  you will find the Disc brake swap very helpfull.  The drum set up gives me a few moments here and there..

my 72 has the disc conversion on the front, its nice(actually an early xs650 front end), but my 70 hasn't ever given me any grief. the drum works really well on it. (its also stock) but no issues. same w the ds7.

your 70 is the 'hotter slutty sister' to my 70.  I dig it.

[Djg8493]

I agree the drum doesn't really give me any problems but if I take out my 75 first and then hop on the 70 you really need to make a mental adjustment.

That turned out very nice and bet it turns some heads wherever you go!

I bought my R5 in the late 80s.  It was actually an RD with R5 tank, side covers and motor.  I damaged the side covers in an accident but the tank was ok.  I found an RD motor in a junk yard and rebuilt it.  Here it is with the original motocarrera expansion chambers.
