Re: lovin my RD04

To begin with, the RD04 looks a bit old-fashioned. But after a few weeks owning it you start thinking the RD07s are a bit like shell suits.

After a few more weeks, you realise the RD04 is the bee's knees!

Re: lovin my RD04

Welcome to the site...I think you may struggle to "fit straight on" later panels from either an RD07 or RD07a onto an RD04, all the mounting points are different the tank is different the seat different and the fairing mounting bracket also different.

Let us know how it goes if you decide to go this route, although in many peoples eye's the RD04 is a classic design/shape compared to the later RD07/RD07a.

I look forward to your pictures

Hello & welcome to the Fourm. Like Kitped said, they are different They have different shape and fixing. The RD04 Original are the best.
