The plot thickens. Can't wait to see this bike - more so than even my own project.

imo the pipes look great!, but personally id prefer if the end cans were shorter, but thats just my opinion, coming together very nicely!

Looking good.
Is that an electric or gear driven pump?

Water pump is off a TZ 350 it runs like a LC pump, the engine is a 250LC but I have made it dry clutch and used a TZ 750 cylinder

Rearsets look lovely, rear caliper hanger and torque arm look even lovlier, front end looks expensive, wheels look great - rear end of the frame looks different?! Has that been altered and if so why (or does it just look different without the panels etc on it?)? Coming on really well now.

Rear ends same, just took the seat locks off and put a under seat lock on, when I start rebuilding it I'll post a lot off pic all on the same post

Very neat !workmanship on that ersatz TZ , LC Best put a skid plate on to keep from grinding off/down the waterpump tho. Having replaced a 'few' road rashed pumps.. back in the day.. an electric one is a Clever upgrade. As would be Bronze frictions for the dry clutch.. OEMs were exceptionally fragile.
