That's some transformation dude :-) ..top job..and I love the clocks ..did ya do them yourself?

[2strokesmoke]

Amazing job, looks the mutts nutts  and those clocks look so good too, where they done by you or did you send them to a company? quite fancy something like that on mine . 

[brian1111]

Hi sorry for slow replies been to cadwell for weekend and had no Internet the clocks I have done myself got the clock faces off norbo off here they just stickers and then I just put blue led bulbs in the back but when u take clock to bits to put stickers on inside the white plastic there's 2 steel things that shield the bulb u have to take those out or the led bulbs don't shine bright enough but really easy to do the needles are a bit fiddly to take off but before u take them off lift ur needle up slightly over the peg they lean against and let them settle make a note of where they have settled and when u put them back on put them on in that position and then u just slightly lift it back over the peg hope this helps you all ?

Fabulous build mate,love the pics. I'm doing a 250 at mo and will put pics up when complete. I've gone for red hoses,but where did you get the oil pipe from oil tank to pump? that blue one looks ace.

[skydemon]

I love the black grab rail. Looks mean!!!!

Very nice hybrid.

I toyed with the idea of painting mine with RD250LC logos, as that is what it was originally.

My mate has a very original looking RD250LC with RD250LC logos, but it has 350 barrels.

In the end I thought I'd go for RD350LC logos, as mine is hardly standard (like yours).

[northernmonkey]

Like it

[brian1111]

Hi all thanx for the comments the blue pipe I got off eBay couldn't tell you the sellers name has had it a while has for the logos I've gone with 250 has mine is a 250 originally still got 250 barrels on but had sleeves pushed out and had 375 sleeves pushed in so still registered has a 250 happy days thanx Bri xxx

Great transformation , some serious work and effort gone into you build what are the forks and yokes off ? , I am building a hybrid 350ypvs i have some rgv forks and having trouble finding yokes

[brian1111]

Hi stevep glad u like the bike I'm running rgv forks I've stripped them and had them anodised black and the yokes was made by a company called metmachex engineering and they are made from billet aluminium and made to fit my ignition and clocks hope this helps thanx Bri
