Is there any difference between the normal M and the Lucky Strike apart from the paint job?

If the lucky strike was in totally original and good cond it would be worth chucking a cover over it for a couple of years, It's not gonna be a Z1B or anything for a while but it's probably the pick of the bunch of RGV's (for history and value reasons) and hey, we are getting to the end of these bikes being a regular occurrence in the classifieds. I wouldn't mind one sitting in the corner to one day bring out and enter the historics and street races that occur around the place.
My mates dad has purchased a yamaha rz500 V4 Wayne Rainey Replica. Totally mint condition with only 20k on the clock, it has been stored for many years but he has just completely stripped it down to every nut and bolt and started rebuilding it (you should see what CLR "calcium, lime, rust cleaner" can do to bring up carbies and stuff). In fact, I am about to do it to my carby on the KH125 so I will try and get some before and after shots up.
There is only one guy in Australia (that we can find) who can coat the wheels the exact gold they raced with back in the 80's, and he is doing them on this as well as my mates dad has found an original and unused set of racing pipes for it ($3500 complete, he hasn't got them yet), and we worry about spending that on our whole project
. I 'spose his incentive is a bit greater with the value of the bike in the end.
I am really considering buying something like this but when I look at sathid's RD i think
I wanna do that!!
