It runs, on the button, no leaks, no undue noises ....

I'm a happy lad :D

Front brakes are all done, just need bleeding.

New chain fitted, riveted and tensioned.

New speedo cable fitted.

New throttle cable fitted.

Waiting on a clutch cable and a rear brake piston.

Seat has gone away to be redone.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe on the next one, but for anyone who watches them on EBay there has been a glut of green ones this last 12 months.

Dare to be different :D

Green European R2s are far less common than the white ones and I'm pretty sure R2s were only available in white in the UK.

A brief update, light at the end of the tunnel ...

German spec badges are a personal preference.
