Hey Von,

The paint job on my bikes pretty standard for an 81 LC, and I think all those decals are available from Norbo.
I agree, the two reds on white looks great. But when and if I ever get mine resprayed I'm gonna go for that slightly "pearlescent" white.
Now that looks really trick.

[von]

Bump i like that Pearl seen it on a tz [Purple tinge} ;D

[von]

Off to the shed Nitro night on the frame 8-)Man this is the worse part of a rebuild was thinking of bunging it on a bonfire ;D

I was thinking 350 cut outs at both sides but its still been cut down . VON have a look and see if it has a small holl onr cut out side . That will tell us as it will be for the speedo buber

[von]

Hi norbo it is a 125 one m8 no holes.Its buggered anyway so looking for another one.The rearsets are at the cardboard stage as the frame is being a sod to do.The sodding bike must of been painted 5 timesThe centre stand mount has been cut off and ground back with just a trace of it left as not to hurt the frame.Ive been very busy with work so aint done much the last couple of days but am in the shed tonight {just letting the nirto do its stuff}so will just about have finished,then on to rust treatment which lucky there aint much

[Norbo]

Dood it only costs about £15 to get it blasted with no effort by you at all, and its a better job then Nitro and you will have to wash it many times over to remove every drop of nitro so it wont react with spray . Dood just get it blasted .

[von]

Hi Norbo.Yes i should get it blasted but you dont get a buz with blasting 8-)im nearly there now.I dont mind spending hours doing things i just like to be in me shed with the wife and kids in the housre if you know what i mean ;DA friend of mine offered to dip it in the stuff he strips doors with but as above m8.

[Norbo]

Thats handy .

I dont have the time . I like to just get the job done thers anough joba to do as it is . Paint striper burns my hands melts my gloves and i hate the stuff .

[von]

Hi folks,Sorry aint been about but works over for a while as we just won the CHAMPIONSHIP ;D ;D ;D ;D 8-)Anyway had the tuned engine running on the test bench and its putting out 42 BHP but had a big problem ???The top end as its skimmed is pushing out too much heat,{ HEAT=POP LOL ;D}And we are losing the rings as you do but we have sussed the problem.Norbo Why does the ass end go??It all starts up top m8 and the ring jam {as they KILL the bore ;D}The motor will run with f**ked rings but then the ass does a curry night as it does .So AS YOU SAID CHOP THEM PLUGS.Well how we sussed the problem will be in this post as the bike is being built.I must say ive had the frame and bits done by the team so im just going for a very sound and fast RD125LC mk1.I know i wanted to do it myself but i aint the time.The frame and bits going Black the arm going Silver all stoved and the paint is Pearl white{WINK to him who has the best looking white lc on this forum you know who you are m8}.Sorry Norbo for not buying your parts but talking to a Yam Mech in the pits and he sorted all i want and with a i dont have to pay so i had to go with this and they are all GEN BITS m8.Anyway will post pics of the frame soon but cant post pics of the motor as its in the SHED so to speak.will post pics of it when ready for the road.Im going to run Slicks on the road as I WANT TOO ;Dand have a spare set of wheels for the wet.NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE ;D ;D ;D

[pablo]

christ on a bike...thats gonna fly mate ...

[von]

Pab,It will put out more than a 250 m8.But frame will bend and THAT IS THE PROBLEM.We got it to run full welly for over 20 hours AND PUTTING MEGA bhpSo we have to stop the snap eg just twists the f**king frame.We trying to calm the motor without losing the power,but i think the motor is good now we sort the frame.Paplo maybe your wielding can help ??Shame the frame cant handle 40 plus
