Hello Xbhpians, Freinds & Moderators!!

I hope this thread gets approved fast, & I also would like to request you to please rate this thread & also give me your valuable comments & criticism.

I am sure many of you must have read my earlier thread (RD 350 My dream finally realised) this is in continuation to that.

As I had promised to post the pictures of the Dying beast after complete makeover, so here I am with the Pictures.

Makeover started 3 months ago I was lucky to get this beast in a dying condition cosmetics wise there was not much to be done in the engine so I was really really lucky on that part, but the Body had taken roughest beating.

I have tried my level best to turn this into a Charming Knight.

Rest I leave it on the Before & After Pictures to tell their own story & you to decide whether I succeded or not.

Good job there mate..

It would have been better if the paint you have chosen was Tomato Red.
The front grill over the head light is not good(IMO)....
Everything else is perfect....Try getting a RD long carrier too..

Great job, beautifully restored. Take care of seat, it requires to have tight look. Front indicators also required to be in the same level. If you have time go to MR auto, just opposite minerva cinema(central mumbai) and get the Yamaha logo for the timing cover.
