LC SAVED AND BACK ON THE ROAD

[wonkywheel]

Last ridden in 96. Then sat collecting dust and rust in the last owner's shed.

 Black Tank looks good- although rotted out.

Red tank is mint inside- under £30.00 utter bargin
If I get time this summer I’ll get the tank done and seat recovered.



"Sir! Please change that big tractor-like rear tyre; It must handle like a barn door."

After the MOT I managed to clock-up 50 miles today- so the engine is now beginning to bed in after a full rebuild. I did have a set of Hi-tec reeds fitted- not anymore because it ran like a pile of shite. Another crappy buy form Yambits- Hi-tec my ass!



Sprayed with rattle cans- not perfect, yet not bad


Pump done by Arrow- nice!


Built the engine myself




Job done- time to do some miles.

Thanks,
It's no show bike, yet mechanically it's sound.
I got lucky with the tank: Ebay- listed as "RD125" ended 8am.
