My f2

[antos]

Hi lads ,found out the forums are available using Tapatalk so here's a picture of my f2 I've been restoring, sunk a lot of money into it as you'll all know. Gone for the naked look as I prefer it to the fairings. Oh and yogi (matt) this is your old tank👍 antos.

Nice i like it ..

Thanks mate, I sold my 2011 blade I'd had from new last year, then bought this , and I don't miss the blade to be honest .
Fantastic bikes mind but it was flat out everywhere I went. Not good. I've had some great help off lads on here too so really appreciate that. Thanks

Looks really nice Antos. Those pipes look in good nick had to do a lot of work on mine and they haven't come up as nice. What did you use for headlight and brackets? Agree they do look better naked.

Left mine in half-way house mode for now with just the top fairing, but toying with idea to give it a Brazilian! As I really like the look of this model's half-fairing here but would have to cut down the mid-mid fairing panels. But would be different.

Here's mine not quite as spanking yours, but nice to see 2 F2's back on the road this summer, happy riding. Mark

Hi mark,
I was going to do just as you have in leaving the top fairing, as the parts to convert it are so expensive, so I managed to find an n2 bracket which was minus the top mounts (was only £40 though) then managed to weld some pieces onto it to enable my f2 clock mounts to be fitted.
I've managed to source some n2 clock fronts so over the winter I'll need to sort that but for now it works👍

[antos]

Forgot to say mark, the headlight is a cheap copy from Ebay, it was £30! Better than paying 6 times as much for a genuine one😊 the cans are in good nick luckily but down pipes are bad so I've wrapped them. Oh and your bike looks ace👍

bob

[antos]

Hi bob, there from a tt600 triumph, fit straight on👍 I did refurb the yam callipers but I need brakes and they simply weren't good enough especially coming from the blade I'm used to being able to stop lol

[antos]

And thanks for your kind comments lads, much appreciated .

[Norbo]

looks like brand new

[antos]

Thanks norbo 😊

That looks great mate, I have a white one with N2 light and clocks.

Hi, the red and black F2, nice job on the bottom fairing edge, did you get the middle pieces cut and make up the brackets? I just have the top fairing and was thinking about brackets for the lowers, but yours looks like a better solution.

I think you'll find its factory.

Hi Chriski, as Jon says its factory. That is the Brazilian half-faired model and looks really nice. Either need to  cut the mid-panels down (pretty drastic unless you can find some cheap) or source some. The photo Xavier put up is from his website showing all the model variations - a great site for loads of info on LCs etc see here www.rd350lc.net/index.html

You could make something similar with cut down panels, but I think the originals had a recession the panel, and probably a rubber grommet setup like the fully faired models on the centre mount.
