project rd 350 lc ypvs f2

[The Pirate]

ive been after an lc for a while and not been in a financial position to buy one until now with my new job ;D ;Dso I started looking on the bay and was shocked to find how much they were selling for ???with seeing that my heart sank thinking I would not in the short term be able to afford one :'(I decided to still join the rd lc forum to see what info I could find out and I no sooner joined and I was offered a bike by the owner of the site,,, it was well within my budget and exactly what I was looking for virtualy complete and only realy needs a bit of time to strip, clean and put together ;D ;D and it will be good to go soon as a add the few parts missing 8-)it was a running bike before the partial strip and its a full uk bike and always has been, its got matching numbers (frame and engine) and its got some new parts on....... please feel free to give the bike a name and tell me why and my youngest daughter will pick one and it will become the name of the bike and be added onto it for as long as I own the bike which a hope is a long time and im going to keep updating this thread with pics of my progress


now the pics ;D ;D



















































and finaly the bike sitting in its new home all snug

got names for my bikes from the registration numbers
yellow one is called kaf as the registration number starts KAF
red one is called saggy as registration ends in SAG
yours should be called the pearl, captain jack sparrow ;D ;D

It's all there, perfect winter project.
I have viewed a few F2s,and I'm amazed at some of the asking prices, even for old tatty dogs.
Enjoy the rebuild.

Hi Pirate and welcome. Looks very similar to the condition of mine when I started.. Watch yourself on here you'll end up wanting to do silly things to your bike Mines turned into a hybrid build after finding this forum.... On that note could you do me a favour and measure the rear ride height from say the lower grab rail mount to the centre of the rear wheel spindle? Got mine all in bits and need it to set the ride height with the new swing arm
Many Thanks and welcome again,
Shane.
