Yes, it's the original 'how-to' article with input from Stan Stephens, published either '86 or '87. Stan has said when the Gamma was launched, he got a Mark 1 because he thought it would be a winner in 250cc club racing (based on road machines).
However, his bike only gave 32bhp at the wheel on a dyno, so he stuck with tuning the 250LC, as they would give an easy 40+bhp at the wheel with relatively simple porting and squish work.
Thanks to Richard for finding & linking!

There's an old saying "Knowledge is power" and I figure that the more knowledge is shared, the more others are empowered. It's also about teaching people to fish so they can feed themselves.
Yahoo Japan is your best bet for sourcing a r/h sidepanel - especially as your bike has the "HB cigarette" colour scheme, minus the "HB" decals. Unless you are having it re-painted?
As is always the case, there is a l/h "HB" panel up for auction at present, but no r/h panel.

I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I know I can stop anytime.
Try ebay seller ezpezie from Singapore, its a husband and wife team and the Jean is who you need to speak to. She knows her RG stuff and may be able to help you with some parts.
Singapore is closer to you than the UK so shipping should be cheaper even if the parts cost a tad more.
