The blacked out Re5 was my solution for an amazingly corroded bike in a Seattle area woodshed with only 2700miles on it. It seems to run well, and will hopefully electric start better with the right battery and a good relay...

I'm not a facebooker. That might have something to do with it. Would like to see the pics. I like the "look". My Harley is virtually flat-blacked out.

It reminds me of my first RE5M. I had it back in 82 and it was all black and had a gold frame , black gloss stove enamalled exhausts, dropped Jota bars and after market Marzocchi gas shocks.
I wonder what ever happened to it? The DVLA reports that it hasn't been on the road since I foolishly sold it in 84. Reg was TUT 406S
