From one great bike builder to another ( Dusty to Yogi ) 🙂👍
Both great bikes 😎

Just don't shake it all about mate. I'm sure there are laws against that.

Hi, PV cover is that a red Yam sticker? could I ask where you got that as mine was white and with cleaning with white spirits its gone brownish

[dusty350]

Yogi is the man to ask as he built the bike. I have had the same stickers in the past though - they were off ebay

[dusty350]

Just checked - loads on ebay. Search "Yamaha Gel stickers"

[fletche36]

Dusty is that a real gully seat or an aftermarket/ kit one? im really being drawn to getting one.Thanks.

It's an original 2/4 seat. Look great and always seem to fit really well with tight shut lines, especially by the rear cowl.
Only thing I would say is the foam on all these seats is much harder/firmer than standard, and could be uncomfortable if riding any great distance.

Who is the new owner of the Yellow LC?

[JonW]

So Dusty, whats the plan? Ditch the spoked wheels and restore it to OEM?

(joke, obvs)

Rob - The yellow Lc now lives down by the south coast, sold to a nice fella who has now joined the forum. I sold it on Market place and didn't have any problems with scammers which was a result.
Jon - the spokeys may actually end up on the Cafe bike, and the Rgv wheels in that will come across to the Pv - that's the current thinking. Otherwise it will stay as is. Come winter I will polish the forks up but otherwise I will leave it alone
The Cafe bike will be finished one day, but I've got the 250 Lc to build first. I think the spoked wheels would look awesome in the Cafe Rd

Looking good Dusty boy 👌

Cheers Matt - nice build matey

Understatement of 24 goes to dusty. I sold my seat having ridden 50 miles on the IoM. I’m not particularly big 5’10 and 13 stone (ish) 😁 and it felt like I’d walked into the blue oyster bar.

Nice one Dusty.
Spokey is a fantastic bike but I know there will now be the Dusty adaptations putting your mark on the top job Matt made of it.

Looking forward to see it evolving yet again

Cheers John,
I love the lines of the seat and tank, so there won't be any real changes. The engine sounds sweet, and the pipes sound more like bean can Microns which is nice. The wheel swap will be the major change, making it "3 spokey" rather than "multiple spokey " !! I think the 3 spokes will look great in it anyway, and the Ali spoke wheels will really suit the Cafe bike. The front should swap across fairly easily, as far as I can tell, the rear may be a touch more involved due to the Cafe bikes Vj21 rear end. If it ever stops raining I will get a chance for a proper look😉

[iwantalc]

quiet surprised you didnt put the lc on here for sale..

[dusty350]

Haven,t sold my last 4 bikes on here.
My thinking is most people on here have one already. Project bikes sell well here I think, built bikes not so much, in my opinion🙂

[mgttz]

both lovely bikes but the spoked wheels really seem to suit that powervalve.
