Well , it's nearly there now , I've been collecting parts and progressing the Lc for 2 years now .... The motor was a 250 Lc which Ron at Fahron has done his 370 conversion , pipes by kenny ( obviously ! ) billet yokes by spondon 440 ( obviously ! ) , I've also cut down an rsvr swinger to fit the Lc frame with Rgv running gear , hope you all like it hopefully Ryan will be along shortly to post some pics for me ( cheers mate )

Thanks for the positive comments guys glad you all like it as I said its ' nearly ' finished because it's going to the NEC tomorrow for the bike show on the Dunlop tyre stand ( my mate works for Dunlop and organised it ) so I've had to get it ready for the show over getting it on the road , which is ok given the time of year .....

Crackin lookin bike you have, and totally agree with gazsellers, the swingarm looks really trick, I definitely prefer a symmetrical lookin swingarm and this is one of the nicest I've seen, it also eliminates the need for a chain guard which can be a right pain in the arse, I get the feeling mine is gonna look like an after thought when I finally get round to fitting one. I'm also very interested to hear how the bike runs with the 370 conversion, I have been considering this option, what carbs are you using? and any feedback on how it goes would be much appreciated.
Good luck with the show, it's great to see and hear peoples reactions to the old 2 strokes and I've no doubt yours will get plenty of attention.
Great bike, Enjoy!

Thanks mate , I'm sure it'll get plenty of attention , everybody loves Lc 's anyway .... I've not got it running yet as I was pushed for time to get it ready for the show , but looking forward to getting her on the road and run in ! It's running 28 mm carbs and TSA 's midrange pipes , and banshee coils at the moment if you want Fahron to do the conversion for you , allow plenty of time ! He is good but he works on his own now and can take a long time to turn things round

Had a good look at this today (several time's as it happens) and well impressed I must say, lovely looking thing.
Rest of the show to me wasn't that good, and I seem to be drawn towards Norton commando's for some reason.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys Steve , I've just looked at your Lc and can't believe how similar they are ! It's the first time I've seen yours mate very nice ... I think the kenny Roberts paint job is one the best paint schemes out there for lc's ( well that's my opinion anyway , lol ) , my Lc is going to be on Norbo's stand at Newark and Manchester , so will see you there it's also going to be on the Dunlop stand again at the London bike show in feb too . Then to top it all off practical sports bikes contacted me this week asking if they could feature it in the next issue so it's photo shoot is this Friday at Donington .....praise indeed I can't wait to get it on the road and run in !!!
