It is looking well Matt
Think Mr Cordwell may be quite quick just now although it may just be my luck in that it fell in with something else he was doing
I messaged him on Sunday, posted on Monday and they were in primer by Wednesday
I wanted black and he had a black job on so did mine at the same time, should have them back next week 😁
I accidentally bought a pair of Triumph calipers that were 90mm, I wonder if they would go straight on RGV forks 🤔
What scheme you going with

Well, i've a stripped set of Nissins in the garage, 90mm spacing (Rgv/Gsxr400), they need one set of pistons and some seals etc? i can get some pics tomorrow, yours if you want them, free of charge of course. Andy. Hi Andy Thanks for the generous offer mate 👍 I have got a few sets but all need a rebuild too,so don’t wanna take yours just for the sake of it when they might do someone else a turn Cheers Matt

Looking stunning Matt Huge improvement on the original bike ! The Nissins are regarded as a much better caliper than the Tokicos that came on the Rgv's, and well worth a rebuild Great build matey

After a lot of kicking and screaming she’s a runner 😃 Left carbs overflowing slightly so that’s coming off again but the pipes sound nice Matt 🐻

By the way, where is your coolant expansion tank sir?

Fantastic Matt, I'll be really happy if I can match this. The spoked wheels are beautiful (I may have to do it now) as are the pipes, what make are they?
Aesthetically it is fantastic with colours, shades and contrasts that match really well especially the rear of the bike. For me the shorter pipes are just the best.

I think this bike is superb, congratulations! I just have reservations about the modern "inverted" fork. I think it makes the front end heavier and must lose the legendary handling of the LC, especially when riding on open roads. The same goes for the tyres that are bigger than 110 at the front and 130 at the rear. But again, all your work is remarkable.
Je trouve cette moto superbe, félicitations ! J'émets simplement des réserves sur la fourche moderne "inversée". Je trouve qu'elle alourdit l'avant et doit faire perdre de la maniabilité légendaire des LC surtout pour rouler sur route ouverte à la circulation. Idem pour les pneumatiques plus gros que 110 à l'avant et 130 à l'arrière. Mais encore une fois tout votre travail est remarquable.
