October 17, 201411 yr Interesting choice of music! But nice to see the RTL being ridden, nice one Jitta. I like this treasure chest of RTL's (as well as a few other rare bikes), at Mr Mitani's place. Edited October 17, 201411 yr by shedracer
October 18, 201411 yr If anybody else knows of any interesting videos of the RTL, please feel free to add to the thread. Hope to add some videos of mine, when Ive finished it. Edited October 18, 201411 yr by shedracer
November 10, 201411 yr Shedracer, I would be fascinated to know more about that captivating video, taken at Mr Mitani's place? He must have an excellent security system. Please excuse my ignorance, but who is this lucky chap who owns multiple RTLs, and SO many other desirable exotica? It appears that all the bikes are as catalogue and mint. Exceptionally rare with any used comp bike! Re additional RTL videos, could I gently encourage you to post a video of your pride and joy, as and when, now that you have your own HRC masterpiece? ATB.

I don't personaly know the Mighty Mitani San, but one would guess the Japenese don't have such an issue of bike theft, with their respectful culture. My RTL is current in a million parts (well maybe not a million, but it looks like that), but hope to have up together, sometime after Crimbo hopefully. ;-)
November 12, 201411 yr Hi shedracer, Here's a couple of pics of my RTL, i have many other bikes but in my eyes the Honda is as good a looking trials bike now as it was almost 30years ago, get yours sorted and enjoy it mate, it will put a smile on your face every time you ride it!
December 22, 201411 yr Nice bike Andy, mines still in progress, but hope to have it running in the new year, very much looking forward to it indeed. Here another video, recently put on YouTube. Lovely bike, with lots of mods. I like the oil cooler, looks like a good place to put it, something I'm wanting to do. Just need to find a suitable cooler to use.
December 22, 201411 yr Looks like a bad position for the oil cooler, no protection, could get caught or drop the bike on that side and it's easily damaged which could be end of trial Pit bike oil coolers look about the right size, usually on ebay.

Looked at pit bike oil coolers, there too big to go inside the frame. Putting it on the exhaust side is better than the other side I guess, but the best solution is as per the original accessory oil cooler Honda did. Franck on another thread has one on his, hopefully he might tell us which one he used, guess we'll Just have to keep looking. Edited December 22, 201411 yr by jj65
December 22, 201411 yr I thought they came small enough but maybe not after all. Honda fitted them to small bikes such as XR75 - too big?
