I'm just finishing up a 1972 R5C new top end Wiseco first over, split cases to repair 2nd gear problem, solid state reg/rectifier, new clutch chain & sprockets, tires/tubes. brand new made in Vietnam seat (excellent craftsmanship) new front brakes, Has 9,100 miles on it n ow ...very good condition before, mostly the above mentioned repairs...$700 in it before repairs including the new pistons and bore job that came with it......$2600 now. I like it!
This is just great:) you would drive that bike like i would:) i have also a Yamaha r5 but i need to restore it, the engine has to taken appart so its a hell of a job.
Connor Teel, Ok I hope that you can ride your bike soon, it's here in the Netherlands already pretty cold so it's not that great to drive on a bike, I hope I can start soon with the restoration. I need a shed :(
