What does R.C. mean?
« on: December 15, 2010, 08:02:19 PM »
I am new to these bikes. I bought this 78K to cafe it. The side cover has R.C stamped on it. My mechanic says that it may have aftermarket components in it. Do you think he's right?

Yes, he is right ... that  "R.C"  means simply, "Radio Control".        are you interested in selling  your  radio control honda

R.C. stands for Russ Collins. You have an after-market part ON your bike; maybe you got lucky and there are R.C. parts inside, as well!! ;)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
