Last Jap model 3HM RZ250R had TZR type wheels (but twin disc front wheel) as standard. This is Xavier's lovely example

Dusty, it goes straight in. You just need a 2mm spacer washer on each side as the TZR parts are 4mm narrower overall than the YPVS. You obviously need to anchor the caliper mount somehow and will need the 2MA sprocket carrier, caliper hanger and spacers. A bonus is the chain run lines up and the rear sprocket is the same pattern

Generally, on Japanese bikes at least M5, M6, M8 are standard pitch but M10 and above (eg footrests, suspension and brakes etc) are fine pitch. There are always exceptions though and stuff like brake banjos can sometimes be M10 x 1.25 or M10 x 1.0.

First check would be that float bowls are on the correct carb. They look the same but only the left one has a starter jet so if they are switched the choke will not work. The started jet is a tiny brass jet in the bottom rear edge of the bowl, the other bowl is blanked.

You could use a pair of universal brackets to mount the headlamp onto the forks and fabricate a couple of brackets to mount the clocks to the top yoke. Shouldn't be too hard to do. You will also need to relocate the horn somewhere, the proper place for an N is above the engine.

Sorry Mutts but that's wrong, if you are using LC wheels then you need to keep the LC sprocket spacer. You only need the YPVS spacer if you are running YPVS or TZR wheels in a 4L0. Standard wheel = standard spacer.
However, you may have an issue with the nut bottoming out before the sprocket is tight, although I can't remember for sure. If it does bottom out you will need a spacer between the sprocket and tab washer (an old clutch basket thrust washer or a couple of tab washers should do the job)

just make sure there is a bypass hole I think the LC stat housing already has a bypass built in?

I normally use Halfords semi synthetic 10W/40 4 stroke motorcycle oil. A 5 litre can does an LC box and an oil change on one of me diesels

I have used stainless bolts on my bikes (not just LCs) for discs and calipers. Not saying that you should, only that I have and I am still here to tell the tale

Not a crank seal but probably a head gasket

I think it looks great as it is. Standard LCs are ok for looking at but when it comes to riding, uprated modern components are much better!

YPVS is exactly the same. The seal is formed by the steel spacer being held between the bearing and sprocket faces.

Looking good Mike, especially love the TZ paint on the LC. Not sure what model of RG your Yamagamma is based on but I managed to fit a 4.00 rim with 140 rear tyre on mine in the stock swingarm. From memory the arm measured 200mm internal width at the wheel end. Can't see yours being much different?

Yours must have been a C reg F2 aswell Rich - I'm sure the early F2'S were quicker than the later ones. Indeed it was, C570 TJK was the reg and according to DVLA it's still about somewhere albeit yellow and on SORN. I bought it on my 19th Birthday (July) and couldn't wait the 2 weeks until August for the D reg to come out. I bought the Microns from JW Groombridge Motorcycles in Cross In Hand and they were £89! Rode home with them too, one pipe across my shoulder and the other across the girlfriend's! Bolted them on as soon as I got home and they transformed the bike. It would bury itself in the red and go off the clock. Sadly I sold it for a grand about 2 years later when I passed my car test and couldn't afford to insure both

I've heard that the 32mm carbs from the earier VJ21 (K/L) can work well. You can't use the 34's from the VJ22 model (M onwards) though as they have some solenoid operated air or powerjet gubbins.

Yeah the KRI rubbers do fit. They have trumpets that protrude into the airbox so are even more of a pig to fit than the LC rubbers!

Dusty, years ago I used Ford Venetian Red on my F2 fairing and it was a very good match.

I'm with Mike, it does look like the back end is dragging it's arse and the forks look too long? Other than that I really like it.

Shouldn't need any changes at all. Allspeeds are designed to run on standard jetting, assuming the standard unmodified airbox and filter are fitted.

You could stick in some 200 mains for peace of mind but in my experience just a pipe swap doesn't usually need jet changes. It's when you start playing around with airboxes and filters that you need to upjet. Back in the day I ran my otherwise standard F2 on Microns and standard jetting with no issues at all and I used to rag that thing senseless.

I had a bunch of stuff done for an LC and it came to about £250. Sounds a lot. I think I paid nearer £100 for similiar.

What about Higgspeeds..? You don't see many on 350's, is there a reason for this..? I know they sound great on triples Because they are hideously (IMO) ugly?

Not that it makes the slightest difference but I always fit mine from right to left (ie clutch side to stator side). Looks better too as you see the heads of the bolts when the bike is on it's side stand.
