You can see the Gamma symbol on the frame (oops, what a giveaway Laughing ).

Looks odd where the tank meets the tail unit, so not a perfect job. Think I'd prefer an original RG.

It looks like someone doesn't give a flying fuck about their helmet and visor.

Bad show.

there were alot of lids just dumped on the floor. I knew it was a stroker due to the lovely complex looking exhaust arrangement, assumed it was an old duke my knowledge extends no further than my 916 but had guessed that wasn't the stock nose cone. never seen a rg500 im not old enough for them to have been common when I started being interested in bikes

Looks like they need a something to hang their lids on and keep them off the floor. Hmmm, I wonder...
