Well, was finally able to take the RC15 that I purchased last Thanksgiving for a spin around the block on Thursday.

Ran really well although I didn't go past 3rd gear. Still some carb tuning needed but starts right up and idles & revs well enough for now.

I have to go to the tag office and get her titled and registered before taking her out again.

I bought the bike from the original owner who lives in Daytona. He bought it in Germany and raced it for one year in AMA. It was in very good condition when I bought it, although hadn't been run in a fear years, so I had to go though and restore all hydraulics and fuel system. I replaced the fuel tank with one from eBay. Rebuilt the carbs, brake and clutch master cylinders, slave cylinders, replaced the front brake lines, rebuilt all 3 brake calipers, and replaced the faulty fuel pump.

I will be replacing the turn signals and maybe new tires as well and some minor cosmetics as needed. I still want to put the original fuel tank back on at some point but have to finish cleaning it. And also adjust the valves, I guess.

Some photos......
