Hello to everyone again, I am not so good on PC these days and new to the forum, so I am not sure on how to do things. Health barriers make it hard to use my PC so some guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.  |

Well, if you are into Lc's/Ypvs or 2 strokes in general you are in the right place Have a look around the different sections - lots of inspirational builds, a section for 4 strokes, For sale and wanted sections - just about everything you need really. Dusty |

Dusty Ah good because I couldn't help it, the smell of 2stroke made me buy a complete basket case to go along side my cb900f resto. Sorry I bought the cb years ago and it's one that I must complete.

Lots of diesel owners on here. Had a fair few myself but it's Lc's that fill my garage now ( at the moment anyway!!) Always liked the big Cb's - proper 70's/80's muscle bike. Don't know what they are like for rebuilding regards parts availability, but it's good to know that Lc's and powervalves are relatively easy to rebuild, with most parts available , although deep pockets are needed  Enjoy the forum Dusty |

Hi Aid, welcome to the forum, to be honest most of us probably have 4 strokes in the garage as well.

The 375LC was sold about 10 years ago. Big mistake! Aid. |

Hi Aid, welcome to the forum, to be honest most of us probably have 4 strokes in the garage as well. Hi, Thanks for the post. I came away from 2 strokers because all may mates had 4 strokes, so I was always ringing the LC's neck to keep up. Oh and the obligatory engine rebuild every so often. But you can't say I didn't use it as Yamaha intended. Aid. |

Welcome in Aid. Great forum this and nothing wrong in the old muscle bikes. I've got a couple of big Zeds in the garage as well. Mind you I think the Lc's do give me the most pleasure these days.

Always fancied one of those but never did get one or even have a blast on one. Oh well, as they say , the best things to those who wait.  Are they a lot different to the LC? Aid. |

Hi, This is the first forum that I have ever used and I am enjoying it. Sad thing for me is that once my big 9 is done I will not be able to ride it  But hey ho, once the LC is done they do say Hooligans don't they? Aid. |

A little bit
Clocks,front and back ends are the same as F2/N2
No bikini fairing or belly pan and different wiring looms
Most of the rest is the same as 31k lc2

You can always do a Freddie Spencer job on the Honda and then stick it in the Lounge as an ornament. The LC of course hopefully can be ridden.

The cb9 will be rideable but not by me, health took a major nose dive 3yrs ago and the DVLA revoked my license. So to keep me sane I kept the 9 and I have been doing a little bit every now and then. I tried to get it in the house but it's too big and heavy! |

Perhaps someone can take you out on yours or another LC if you cannot ride yourself. Good luck with it anyway. :-)

Hi Aid. I've got a CB900 that's in need of a resto. Bought it in 1980 as a "new" bike that had been run in very carefully by a marshal at the MGP!!! Came with Pirelli Phantoms on. Haven't got round to doing anything with it yet for reasons similar to yours. Nothing wrong with doing a little bit at a time....its not a race main thing is doing something when you can!! And at least with these Hondas you can still get parts at reasonable prices...... Pickfords (or any other similar company) will be able to help get the big old girl in the house!) |

Thanks for that post,I haven't a good laugh about the old Dinosaur for ages! I'm going to try and get some pics up soon if I can get sorted on how to do it. My eldest lad is coming round at the weekend and show me,he's the PC king in our family. Maybe you should start a resto on yours and see who finishes first. I am on with the wiring loom and electrics at the mo and then.............. |

I'd love to get the old weaving pogo stick up and running, it was a great ride, and although it was a huge lump for my 5 foot and not a lot more, I could push it harder than any modern bike I've had, just felt right.....after most of the seat foam was removed |
