Fitted my new Motobatt battery, fitted 210 main jets, replaced the pattern gear lever with a genuine one, that now clears the side stand and took it for a test ride. Still have a midrange stutter, so 200 mains will go in later in the week and now the speedo has started making a whining noise, so another problem to sort out before the national rally next month! 😡

That looks so much better. A stock LC should have her original decals! Alex

Looks great! I like it with the belly pan though.
What's the endcan on your micron?

Back in the day, it would have been the blue/white for sure, I didn't even know about 'speed block' back then, well maybe there were a couple of bikes around my way like it. Looking at it some 30+ years later, it looks pretty smart to me.

the best packed package of glory I have ever witnessed arrived from PJME- too busy at work to unpack more than this .5 oversize piston....

My 250 engine is my favourite because it feels so smooth and zippy

despite re-reading all the advice..... spent more than 1 hour being an idiot sitting around wondering if I should powder coat or paint- the cases, barrels and head. I'm going against the grain and want gloss- not convinced rattle can, can do that- then you look at Dusty's cylinder head- looks great but we don't have Halfords over here. a shopping I will go.

Started getting the 350 wheel I found after much searching in Oz ready for painting. After getting the years of barn dust off it’s coming up well. Finished painting and fitting new bearings

amazing...how did u get the 'original' red paint off? After being quoted a ridiculous price to dip it I read on a forum here the product below works well. Spray on wrap in plastic food wrap, leave for a while and scrap off. Had to do it a couple of times each side but cheap and effective.

Picked my 421 up from jim made to dave (muttsnutts spec). these pipes are a work of art. Silencer is only for getting set up im going stubby cans. They look very nice, you may well keep the long silencers once you’re heard it running, start mine up in the garage and it makes the house shake. Jess
