i picked this up in the fall. played with it in my spare time through the winter. it was a simple reassembly with a few electrical issues.
it is an rl model that originally came with a half fairing with square headlight and a chin spoiler.
i put over 200km's on it saturday for a shakedown. it really howls above 3000.
the one complaint i have is the foot peg placement. i found them really high compared to the seat height. i couldn't imagine having long legs, but they would make good armrests for long tours.

I really like the 1984, the bike is styled much nicer than the 81-83. However even your bike would look better with the OEM exhaust. Bill

thats the pipe that came with it, so that's the pipe she got. it weighs nothing and sounds great.

that looks like a fine old steed drauff. here is mine in it's latest form. it's the long haul bike of the fleet.
i just got back from three days in the beaver valley, blue mountain area at the north end of the niagara escarpment.
the trees are just starting to turn colour.
