RYU 284. This Knight was once bought as a wreck late last century by Frank Griffin, Frank restored the bike to concours condition, spraying was done by Deespray. I regularly helped Frank with the restoration at the time, at the company where I worked much, almost everything, was possible, all possible machine tools were available and, apart from gold, all kinds of material. Once finished, on the way to the French Rally, Frank had a huge accident with this bike in which Frank himself was much worse off than the bike and had to undergo a very long rehabilitation afterwards. The bike was sold and has been (Paul knows all about it) a showpiece in a well-known Dutch motorbike museum for many years now

No real help but, I had a look in my 'little black book' from half a lifetime ago and have a note saying that I saw RYU 284 at the Annual Rally in 1981 - and it was fitted with a dustbin fairing!
