If the photos don't work, anyone got any ideas other than Flickr (I saw the v useful thread here) as to how we upload? I understand photobucket is now off?
When I took delivery of my 1981 RD it looked in pretty good shape so I took it out for a ride. It'd been over 23 years since I'd rode my last LC, a Stan Stephens Stage 3 tuned monster 375LC; yet it felt just like yesterday once I got it warmed up. It sounded lovely, a totally stock 250 engine in a powder-coated 350 frame, (twin discs and horns) albeit a bit stuttery in the lower rev ranges. The only paperwork was an original "V5" first registered abroad on my birthday in 1981 (not my birth-year!). So I took it straight as it was to my local garage and it passed its MoT. A quiet word in my shell afterwards detailed a recommendation that whilst it was broadly compliant it needed to be stripped down and re-built from the wheels up. So that's what I'm doing. I've got loads of photos and vids but I won't bore you with these - you've seen them all before, but where I've got some amusing or unusual topics, I shall. Talking of which, here is the loom off the bike
![Existing Loom]()
And here's my first attempt
![First effort]()
I plan to now attempt it again, this time following a template of the layout of the existing.
All for now. |

Not sure about the others, but my photo### account is working as normal now.

Has anyone come across a little cowl that connects to the rad and wraps around the water pump pipe to radiator? If yes, any ideas where to find?

As if the hairy belly wasn’t enough in the pictures, we all now know you dress to the left.  Jon |

C'mon.. what's a fatboy to do in that heat... Don’t worry, I’m the same. Just careful not to include it in my photos. BTW I dress to the left too. Think is common for right handed people. Jon |

Strange, but true. I don't think I could imagine it the other way round.
