Looking good.

You might be ok with the allspeeds, they clear the RGV banana arm no problem, sit nice and wide.

Thank's for the positive comment's paint work is all done tempted to fit it on to get an idea of the end result.
came across this old photo of my 1st ever Lc build this was built over the winter of 87
YPVS motor
SS stage 3 tune and YPVS Micron's went like stink but could not keep it togeather even the late Leon Moss (LEDAR) could not stop it from eating piston's.
Happy day's

Top swinging arm 8-)I think they look better polished but thats me

[dex46]

Yeah i did think about having it polished mate but what im trying to build is a standard (ish) looking Lc hybrid so i opted to keep the arm black ill get a better idea once i get the bodykit on gone for the blue/white colour scheme
Scratching my head now how im going to get a speedo to work as you cant run a drive on the Nc29 front wheel as im keeping the standard Lc clock's hopefully come across a electronic speedo that will fit in the standard clock's and not look to out of place.

nice to see your bike under way ,as you hadnt started it when i come round last.am looking farward to seeing you round peterborough on .

[billbott]

Looking good - i would also normally prefer polished alloy but your swinger looks ace.

[marsbar350]

great work dex
the retro lc you had looks a lot like a well known 125lc ;0
are they related?

[dex46]

No mate i got the idea of black/white Akai from a bike that was in Performance bike's they used to do a special 's page so im guilty of nicking somebody else's idea but kicking myself now as when i brought the bike back in 87ish it was a one owner low mile's bike and i guess matching No#s and i ripped it to bit's and put a valve motor in it
HAY HO

[dex46]

Have managed to pick up a set of old school P/valve Micron's of the bay this week for the Hybrid project and in good nick as well for there age
So all part's coming togeather now will post pic's of progress waiting for my adaptor plate's to be made in wrk's toolroom for the RGV hanger's

[dex46]

that does look good, cant wait to get my guiliano seat

[nikfubar]

Love it very smart, the front & rear ends suit it

[Norbo]

Its looking very smart

[Denzil]

Nice bike.

[flames]

looks fantastic with those wheels dude.personally i quite like the black swinga.looks differant,and doesnt stand out,which helps with the standard(ish) looking lc you are wanting to acheive.peterboroughs not too far from me,hopefully i get to see you floating about on it sometime.do you ever goto hunstanton and mix with the hoards?

[lcolin]

My tuppence worth - i think the swinger looks best as it is, i think polished looks a little dated nowadays, but that just my personal opinion. Build looking wikid, well done.

[dex46]

Thank's mate i was temted to have it coated at aerocoat where Nick got his wheel's and single sided arm done but decided with black my personal opinion think i made the right choice should be ready for pipe's soon once i get the 375 conversion painted and fitted to many project's and not enough time as just picked up a cheap 31k this week plan with that is to get a ticket on it this week and ride it this summer or until this is done then a full strip and rebuild on that

[47x]

hi andy,yes its looking well smart m8,keep up the good work.speak soon.richy

[andyo]

front looks good as well, what model/year are they off and were they much trouble to get on there?

[dex46]

Front's a easy fit 5mm spacer under bottom bearing Lc taper bearing's and job is done the same as fitting RGV front, there of a GK76 Gixer 400 if memory serve's me right the gixer leg's are 40mm longer than the RGV leg's sit's just right

[andyo]

how about top yoke and bars? will you be running clip ons or renthal type bars and how much will forks stick through the yokes to get handling right with short swinger? really dig that swinger BTW

[dex46]

Nigel at Nk modified the standard RGV top yoke welded on the riser's and also welded on mount's just the same as the standard Lc yoke for the clock's TOP JOB
Im going to be running Renthal straight's and at the moment the fork's are flush with the top yoke and it sit's about right until i ride it i wont know but looking at it i think the swinger is not far of from standard this is the reason i went with the Nc29 as the rgv arm is way to long will upload latest picture this weekend

[andyo]

good job, look fwd to the pics

[dex46]
