This is my LC, german import, brought off Kev at Stafford Show a few years back, looks better in the pics than it actually is. Had a lick and promise when i first had its now feeling a bit tired so is due some TLC. It will be a nut and bolt strip down so there will be more pics to follow.  |

fookin ell tony nice stash of noossy bits does the wife know about em Actually No she does not, hoping this one will not be as espensive as what the RD400 was but then again the 400 was a bitsa, at least this one is all there, engine will be most expensive as normal  |

I'm fine thanks Tony. Looking at your other builds I'm sure it will look like a new one very soon. Keep posting pics.

quick up date, frame and all parts at powder coaters, all bolts etc being either re zinced, olive green plated or rechromed. Should get wheels back this week so not look forward to all masking off for repainting, forks have had new seals and polished, foot peg hangers polished. Today have spent painting all black plastics oh and tank and all panels have been sent away for painting, Tony
