just changed the rubber cover on mine,
it was glued on the old clock cover from the inside.

not 100% sure but think so, as tanks and panels are the same.

sold it for £1500 after the crank let go, prob be all them 3rd gear ragging it on the back wheel,
mate down the road has still got his rgv500 with a spare engine, getting big bucks now for them.

this was my old rg500 ex race bike I had for over 11 years, was good in its day, now a good 600 will be quicker,
it was just the sound of them four pipes on song, still miss it,
the motor ended up in a rgv250 frame, this was all done before the net was around, hours looking in mcn etc
good old days. sorry poor pics.

all set for the road, and a track day at oulton park,
been for a blast and found it goes and stops well, the rear race pegs are a bit high, going to try and drop them a bit,
