Are you sure that is a genuine RGS?
It shouldn't have that centre stand and in fact that stand cannot be easily fitted to a GA10 frame.
Not an RGS seat either.
Sorry to nit pick but for what you are asking I would expect a 100% bike.

HI Blue,
Whats the front wheel from?
I believe the petrol taps should be Gold Star lever type?

Hi Trevinoz  I wouldn't know about fitting the centre stand because it was already on when I bought it in 1969 and the actual bike was featured together with this stand on the cover page of Motorcycle Mechanics magazine March 1966.  You mentioned the seat; it is the original but in my youth I changed the piping to red to match the lining on the tank.  Again it was cream on the magazine cover.  YES I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT IS A GENUINE RGS WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FROM THE FACTORY AND THE FIRST BUFF LOGBOOK, MATCHING NUMBERS ETC.

Hi Chaterlea25  The front wheel was on the bike when I bought it in 1969 and you are right it is not the original 180 single shoe as fitted by the factory but a twin leading shoe of unknown make but a much better stopper than the original.  The rim is probably original as its a dunlop rim.  The petrol taps are the same as on the Motorcyle Mechanics magazine but hey one spanner and they could be simply changed surely.
