Hi to all Just signed up to the forum after browsing for the last few months I own an RD250LC and a RD350LC, both require full restoration as they were purchased quite a few years back and have been left in the shed collecting dust I've just placed my first order with Norbo for some parts! A few more orders to follow when money is available Anyway! it's a great forum Cheers Lloyd

Welcome Lloyd. I am sure from your browsing over the past months you will have seen the endless support on a variety of topics people offer. There are some very knowledgable members willing to give their help. I am sure you will enjoy it. Good luck with the restorations. Which comes first 250 or 350? Remember to post your progress on the restoration page.

Remember to post your progress on the restoration page. Hi penno, I'll probably start restoring the 350 as that was a runner before I stripped it down The 250 was purchased as a repair job and needs a full engine rebuild As soon as the weather improves I'll take some photos & post them up, old photos somewhere on the PC Also have two RG250 Gamma's and a YZF750R Going to be busy over the next few years restoring them all

Hi lloydrj, welcome to the site, and don't put too much on the list for Norbo, Im going to hit him with a big list soon as I may be starting a job quite near him so I can save on the postage,...

A warm welcome to the Forum Lloyd. It looks like a great bike to restore as it appears very complete. Good luck on the restoration.

Thanks for all the welcomes
Hopefully I'll start restoring the 350 in the next couple of months
I need to assess what needs doing to it as I can't remember what was needed when I boxed it up!
250 has matching numbers but the 350 has different numbers.
I think the 350 was a 250 but with the 350 bits added.
The blue wheels are hand painted so I'll get them refurbed
I'll try to take pictures as I'm restoring the bike, might be a long process though :-)

welcome lloyd
just joined myself - seem to be a well informed friendly lot on here,non of the usual high and mighty attitude found on some forums - we all have to start somewhere learning about bikes and some forums seem to take great delight in destroying people who ask, in their opinion stupid questions or they are constantly referred to the search feature - not on here - enjoy the forum
