Hope to have it up and running for the summer, just got to get the tank painted then on to the engine which is half done.
Next project will be to tidy up my 1s.

Nice RG LC whats the motor hopfully it will be a Banshee ypvs

The engine will be standard 350lc with black three stripe body work, to try and keep that original look.

Been on the rd forum for about 4 years now.

Always wanted rgv front from when i saw it done on Pat / Julie moores (who started the lc club) bike back in 1992 when i first joined the lc club.
After this bike iam hoping to tidy up my kr1-s, which is a complete different ride to an lc.

I got my kr1-s last year when i went to get my yam lc2 mot, on one of there computer screens was doing a slide show of bikes up came the kr1-s
which by chance was up for sale, it came with an a4 size folder full of
receipts and stacks of history with bill of sale from the first owner /second and third.
Every part from plugs to stator has a receipt
He just wanted a quick sale and i got it for an price, the clue is in my forum name.

looks good, if it were mine id be tempted to go with some clips ons as they do suit the RD/RZ with a USD front end

Hope you like the pictures.

Bikes look great =D>

Phoooaarr....

NICE

nice work =D> , but I can't help it : the bike looks so awfully wrong

the banana swing arm doesn't fit the rest off the bike, and the tail so high in the sky is just ....

but that's just me and what I thinck doesn't really matter

lovely job and a perfect collection of bikes, im envious. think the lc is about as nice as it gets when it comes to specials, love the black colour scheme. i have a powervalve with kr1 swingarm soon to be fitted with zxr400 front. love the 350's, esp the powervalve for its tractable power delivery.

i love it mate,there cracking bikes i grew up with my dad and brother both having 350 lc's and powervalves.i remember riding my brother last one,i had one of those horrible braces on my arm after having it plated and did a massive wheelie and nearly looped it the brace moved as well so it was a trip back to hospital,bloody funny though

i like the look ,the swingarm looks good in my opinion thats the thing about doing something different you cant please everyone ,some things just look right straight away and others take time to grow on you. how many times have you seen a new bike at launch and thought no. yet a couple of months down the line its not so bad
with the exception of the bmw k1
ade.

Thanks for the replies,
I have always wanted to have an lc/rgv and now i have took about two years to complete but worth the wait. Just got to finish running it in.

Iam thinking of selling the ypvs but keeping the 1s, after having the ypvs for about 6 years it's a bit of a hard decision.

Once again thanks for the replies.
