Hi Jackjabba, thanks for your response and welcome. If you are right about the April fool spoof, not only have I made a prize tit of myself, but my fond teenage memories have just gone for a ball of chalk too!!.

Thanks for the welcome chaps, &'the info on the RD700 too Steve. I can't begin to comprehend the timing/carburation etc on a special build like that!?.

Erm, bit nervous as this is only my 2nd post!. Just wanted to say hello and please be gentle with me. Like most lads (and lasses, must be p.c.) into LC's, I am a 40 odd year old brought up on 2 strokes and relied on them for daily transport, back in the day. I have just started the restoration of my 4LO after 11 years of slumber in the shed (the bike, not me!). I am hoping the restorations and advice on this forum will prove inspiring and if not this year, it will be ready for next spring.
Also I have a question - As a spotty teen I subscribed to "Motorcycle Mechanics", and recall an article in the early eighties, of a special built LC. It was a black mars bar bike, with 2x 250lc engines grafted together to make an inline 4, 500cc motor. I'm not sure if this 500 predated Yamaha's V4 500, but it was a truly amazing build to behold, and that was the catalyst for my lifetime passion for all things LC. I wonder if this bike still survives?, and apologise in advance if it has hallowed status amongst LC fans, but I have been "out of the loop" for some time!.
Anyway, thanks to anyone taking the time to read my ramblings, I am looking forward to what seems a good sense of community on here.

Norbo, I'm definitely going to need one of those, the lines look much crisper than the indian ones. Do you know what gauge material they are made from?.
