Early 350 had a different flange and they broke so they changed them and added tie-bars. I'm pretty new to this and may be corrected by some others with more experience.

I bought mine from Norbo, genuine bolts in genuine bags. I'm happy with the product and what I paid.

I had mine kept in a car bag, so I had 5 bikes in there, it ventilates using small fans to keep the air moving and the bikes where all perfectly fine, no moisture or anything Now that I've got rid of most of my bikes, that's something else I need to sell I suppose I have 3 bikes to store, if yours is for sale, I could be well interested.

The mirror polishing looks smart, how do you do that and how do you keep it looking that good once done please?

I've heard of pieces of innertube cut up and used to take the slack before.

I have just bought two cable guides for the top yoke item 17 & 18 in the picture taken from the Haynes Manual. I can't remember from back in the day what cables went through these guides, any suggestions? When you look at the image of the left hand guide in the manual it is not clear where this goes, again any suggestions?
Did you get the, from yambits? If so, what is the quality like? I need some too and they're NLA

Most people now seem to be moving away from 'original' white as it is slightly yellow or creamy, a good match is Ford 'diamond white' you see the difference when side by side, so depends if you want anorak finish or modern bright white (probably any modern white would do (vauxhall white has been mentioned as well, as it is quite bright) Do you mean the black on the bottom side panels?? if so satin black done after the lacquer (I think), or a satin laquer?? but that's what I assume you're paying the painter for?? The guy paints cars, I need to tell him the finish I need, it's the bottom of the side panels, so I'll go a clean white with satin black bottoms and all decals lacquered. Sh1t or bust then eh?!

Theres a blue wire goes to the neutral switch near the front sprocket, is that connected for your neutral problem?

Post by russpuss on Jan 8, 2016 23:10:00 GMT 1
The wires near battery are for indicators, black to yellow for uk without self cancelling and yellow to yellow for self cancelling I think? Someone will come along with more help as I've only just got into these myself.

Probably been asked a thousand times, I need the info for white paint with blue stripes please, my painter does cars so any codes for him will help, is the black on the panels Matt / Satin/ Gloss and is everything lacquered afterwards? Going to get imageworks to supply and fit the decals so they should be ok?..

Lots of people wanting uk speedo, including myself. A nice 1 just sold on eBay for way too much, it will sell regardless of the glass I would think. I'd be interested for my import if the price was right, but if others want 1st dibs then I can wait.

Deffo in a bad way, called me this morning to get my X7 out of there asap. Such a shame as the guys are lovely and have all the time in the world for us enthusiasts.

This is mine kph speedo with mph sticker, looks the part for me as the last mph speedo went for around £250! Just waiting for some cogs from a member on here to get the odometer in miles too, will cost about £20 all in for the conversion.

If it's got a spring connected to a c shape bracket It's a euro quick release one,designed to flip up if you drive off Take the spring and c bracket off and fit a normal 31k Spring and job done Nice 1, there's a little job for me to do then, don't fancy the dance I did when it went again, the 1 where my heart missed a beat and I stained my pants whilst trapping the bike under my shin to save it!

Nearly dropped mine whilst moving in man cave, is there a topic on side stands as this has a spring and it pops up at the lightest of touches, almost caught me out. You must have the euro type Spring,my 250ypvs fell over with just a nudge Swap lit over for standard English type Can it be just a spring then? Or is there something else to modify too?

What does he charge for a full body kit? Reason I ask is that I had mine painted three years ago in the same colours, and it looked perfect. Now though, the filler has sunk a little in the tank, so I have bought a good replacement. I'm considering selling my full mars bar body kit and using the money to get another set done, rather then re do this set. Pretty sure it's £480 all in for those colours and £550 for candy blue.

Is there a link anywhere to show what 350lc parts should be colour wise? Just doing a bit of rolling resto and the levers are olive after the black has worn off, would be nice to know what should be the original finishes.

Had the same problem with mine, changed the coils then changed the CDI no joy turned out to be a faulty Stator hot it rewound and the bike started 2nd kick Good luck Paul Mine was the stator too, easy to test first though.
