The chap who got them done did warn me it could be a poor finish. I have sprayed over with satin black. Still see the poor finish underneath. Had an issue with the bottom yoke bolt hitting the rad cap. An MOT failure I would have thought. Even though it hit the steering stop at the same time So I tapered the bolt head. It just misses Engine is back in. Has had a bit of Port work. Carbs vapour cleaned Still got some new parts to fit. Just realised I think I need to take this lot off to thread the indicator wires through the stems. unless your in a prison cell for 20 years and have nothing better to do I would take the sub frame off to thread the indicators

I have not got out. Up dropping off and collecting the Mrs from Uttoxeter races. Got out on it this evening. Have a first gear issue. Sometimes it engages. Mostly it doesn't. Other than that it's great

Another lovely looking, well built special Botty, well done mate !! Dusty Thanks Dusty. Promised myself now to finish my Yamyamgam and tidy up my 1100 unitrak and that's it. No more projects ever. Keep a few bikes and sell the rest. However. I remember you saying something very similar.

Hi mate Yea, I've said that a few times !! I do talk a lot of sh*t though Trouble with me is I like building them more than riding for some reason, hence there is always some sort of project lurking. You are a serial builder Botty, and you do it well, so never say never !! Dusty

Same as you pal. You have built some very inspirational bikes over the years. A few of your ideas I have stolen, copied etc..
I do have a hankering for a ypvs350 Mito. So never say never I suppose.

The Lc has always been the bike I would sell first. However, after reading the LC special edition of PS I think. I decided to try and love it again. Itβs had new paint scheme. Mt 125 master cylinder to give more feel on the front brake New sticky tyres. I rode straight into a field with the other 20 year old things on π³π³ I have bought Stainless Steel Hooligan pipes Billet rear sets. Going to fit a shift Pro. First gear when in the power band sounded like the chain was slipping around the sprockets. Been told this is the problem. Then MOT then time to enjoy it.
