oh i like my RD, but it is cursed and i have just been chasing my tail with it. i have the electrical, brakes, and fuel issues lined out, and i THINK i have the jetting sorted. but, its always "something" with that bike. But yes, it is a daily rider (once i trust it enough). i understand the cheap thing, but to be honest, i got over my head in this RD when i started. my cousin gave me the bike, and i planned to spend $1200 putting it back on the road. I have $3200 in it now. So you might want to buck up and pay $1200 for a good runner instead of $400 for a project that you will nickle and dime to death. Just trying to help people out, because i went on the ramen diet for about a month so i could get the thing on the road...and that sucked!
