Ok, so a very stupid question this one but just how do I know if my 250lc has matching numbers or not? I only paid £500 for it in Sweden so am not really too bothered either way but, if they do match, I may keep things original when I restore it whereas if they don't, I'll be more inclined to go the hybrid route.
Cheers!

The frame number can be found on the headstock, may be hidden by the wiring loom.
The engine number is found on the left hand crankcase just below the carb.
These 2 numbers should be the same and also match the VIN number on the logbook.
Should start 4L1 for a 250LC, but its the full number that should match

Just checked and they do match. Looks like I should try to stay original. Unless of course the improvements in performance and handling to be had from tasteful modifications are just to great to pass up...
Would be great to hear arguments for and against!

If you need to ask, does it really matter? Just build the bike you want to build!

If you need to ask, does it really matter? Just build the bike you want to build! The problem is that changes with alarming regularity! One day I favour keeping it original and the next I am googling 470cc banshee conversions. |
