Hi Folks
I am from Johannesburg South Africa, and i bought a RE5 in a box.
The bike is 80% complete and looking good, i must admit it has been a tough restoration, without support, this is the only one in SA.
It is an amazing machine, and i can't wait for her to fire up, the motor was still intact, and had not been fiddled with, However!, setting up the carb and the port valve, has been a challenge, but i am getting to grips with it, there are a few parts missing on the carb, i will try and get them from Jess, whom you all talk about, i am glad that i am not all alone with this bike, and i have found a family of friends and Rotary enthusiasts, i will be buzzing you guys with a lot of questions, i hope you don't mind, i will also send pics of my enchanting old girl.
Thank you for the great forum
