Posted June 29, 201213 yr Has anyone had there chroming done at Bob Cooper's in Coventry recently as I have your RD header pipes and you have mine. I picked up my chrome on the 19 May and there was a set of other RD stuff on the bench. The one's I got are off a newer model as there quite short and totally different angle compared to the spare set I have. PS. My bike is an RD350B I hope your on this site...

July 1, 201213 yr Surely the shop will sort it out when the other bloke comes back with his that dont fit ? other than that its got to be down to the shop to replace yours ?
July 2, 201213 yr Author Both points are noted however, In the real world it most engineering shops are at best OK but never on the ball especially any in the Midlands they haven't a clue. The other chap may not realise until he starts to rebuild and that depends on how far a long he is...
November 23, 201212 yr Author Update: Its been a while since my last post but, I have had them back with apologies and very nice they are too. Here's the almost finished bike just a few small things to do.
November 23, 201212 yr Very nice Preload" saw one as nice at squires 2 stroke day,,belonged to Busadonk , you may know him of Air cooled club,,
November 25, 201212 yr Author Thanks chaps. Its my first restoration, I'm more than happy with her not that I'm new to spannering bikes just not doing paint,chrome etc so a bit of a learn curve. She's been road ready for a couple of months but I had an electrical charging problem which kept me off the road 30 miles max before it started misfiring, I sorted that and then the weather started to change. I cant wait for the spring so to get the bores run in. Very nice Preload" saw one as nice at squires 2 stroke day,,belonged to Busadonk , you may know him of Air cooled club,, I was at the squires 2 stroke day, I don't know many of the ACRD chaps which includes Busadonk, there wasn't many A/B RD's there but I enjoyed the day out all the same.
