Not posted for a while, but have been busy in the garage. Have been spending time getting my standard-ish 4LO ready for summer. 'Getting ready' included a re-built engine and oil pump, carbs, new tyres and a good clean! IMG_1222Just waiting for the rain to stop, so i can get an MOT!! Also been working on my 4LO Hybrid. BIG Re-fresh, inc frame/swingarm stripped and powdercoated. I was never happy that you could not read the frame No: due to too much paint plus she was getting a bit tatty. Also had shock serviced by Maxton along with getting the head and barrels 'Cerakoted'. IMG_1210While the top end was off i managed to get Stan Stephens to do a bit more porting on the inlet side, so looking forward to seeing how she goes! IMG_1213Managed to build another set of clocks from spares, i got one of 'Kate'n'wells's' rev counter dials, (the quality of which is superb) and 'zero'd' a spare speedo i had, will have to wait and see if they work properly but they work with the drill method! IMG_1224 And finally, had an extra spigot added to the rad for the water pipe that comes from the back of the head (YPVS, cheers Dusty!) to the rad and the chassis has been on diet of titanium bolts everywhere possible! More pics soon Mouse. IMG_1225

Thats some nice detail in the bottom picture. I especially like the wire for the radiator cap. The temperature sticker is also nice.

As headcoats said above, I'm not into ypvs models, but yours looks fantastic.
Then the black hybrid popped up, and normal service resumed ... epic collection.

All are lovely, but the white and blue standard LC is just classic, and the small can Allspeeds just set it off.

Wow! thanks for all the comments chaps, i'm very flattered, glad you like the bikes!
Don't worry Yogi, you and Dusty are still the 'Kings of Bling!'
I know some of you have seen these bikes before and they are not to everyones taste (which is fine) but i love them and i'm always changing bits and pieces on them, so to get some really lovely comments from other owners i respect is great, so cheers all!
Jonw, i guess you mean the mouse sticker? That is one i designed and had made, it is a family thing in honour of my Grandfather, an artist (oil painting) who always put a mouse in his pictures.
All the best everyone and get those bikes ready for summer, she's going to be hot with a blue haze!
