Yo! from Montreal
I've been lurkin' for a bit as my bikes been running great for 3 years. A barn find when I got it but looking better now. Figured I'd join in the fun.
Here's the ol' beast... Totally stock except the paint of course but I've been thinking about a Zeel to keep me busy over the winter.

I bought an 81 RD new when I was younger after racing motocross and really loved it. 3 years back I though I would look for one for a birthday present to myself. I got this '88 in a few boxes but it ran. It's the only one I could find so I went to work rebuilding everything and a fair bit of tank and plastic work. By spring I was riding it around town. I got the decals from RdDecal, shot the bike Corvette yellow and there you go. 25 year old bike and people ask me if its new. Of course this year never came in my black/yellow paint scheme.
Here is the before shot after I cleaned it up a little (this is the side it was dumped on)
Here is a before shot after I cleaned it up a lot. (clean side) The picture makes the bike looked better than it did and after I painted those horrible red rims. Too bad the other side was so bad I would have kept it like this. The KR paint is better IMO.
