This is what they looked like when I bought my two RG400 Gamma's
From Adjustment Tech in Omemee, Ontario..these bikes were imported from Japan
The bonus of Japanese chassis's are: Fuel guage on the clocks, "pass" button on control pod that flashes headlight to signal a pass, on-off switch on pods to turn off headlight, integrated front turn signals

Clean her up a bit and look how much better she can look!

Strip it right down to the bare frame, clean every part, spacer, nut, bolt
in the parts washer you see below the wall calendar

Here's the 400 motor I got from Australia..and getting ready to take the forks completely apart

Install the newly cleaned and greased swingarm and linkage, front pegs and triple clamps

Pretty little SRX600 beside the Gamma, eh?

Forks have been completely cleaned, greased, rebuilt and new fork oil added

Headlight cage and clip ons intalled, new fork seals,
steering head bearings and wheel bearings installed

Rear pegs, brake arm and rims installed (will replace with Katana 600 rims in winter)

Every bolt on the bike prepared with locktite or
anti-seize before installation, every single pivot point or axle greased

Yeehhaa the motor is in!  Rear shock installed too

Brand new Nikon upper pipes loosely fitted on

Doesn't she look sweet???

Brand new lower Nikon Pipes fitted

One more day and she'll be fired up!

Header wrap on the pipes :)

 

Cleaned up and sparkling!

More pics to come tomorrow!  She should be running tomorrow night.  Brand new Bridgestone Battleax BT45 tires ordered (100/90H16 front and 130/80H17 from www.tiresimlimited.com)
