;)just put f1 forks on my lc.used lc2 top yoke,went straight in.i like bars rather than the clip ons. measured the distance between the discs on the lc wheel n its different to the f1,so i lobbed the f1 in.i wanted the later forks n better brakes of the f1,but the original italic wheels look good.didnt fink i'd get it in without some spacing or machining! gonna go n ave a novva look now! cheers wiggy! check out my new mouse avatar!!! my brain can barely cope with 1 finger typing! had to get my son to show me!!! the mouse looks how i feel right now! ;D

the engine goes striaght in theyre identical casings the wiring is f2 loom so that i can use the powervalves properly but is a bit awkward to fit but not hard some people use the standard lc loom and lock the pvs open the only mod you need to do on the casings is the plastic genny one just needs a bit notching out where it hits the frame but im not using this now got a 4l0 one to use

Whats you view on polishing the barrels and over heating. A lot say the bike can run hot if the barrels are mirror polished .
I think it mite as it makes sence thay black will reflect heat out but i dont think it makes anough diderence to be botherd about .
