Could have done with using the proper sized fork gaiters and not ones from a MX bike! :wtf: Headlight looks out of place. But those 2 gripes aside, yes please!

I quite like it, but with RD barrels it's no longer a YR5, the big difference between the YDS7 / YR5 and the RD 250 / 350 is reed valves, a YR5 with reed valves is more RD than YR.
