This was my first build of any lc ypvs etc. Started with a german rolling chassis bought of kopite Mike. I needed to source lots of parts engine,bodywork,clocks,tank etc. Running it on pre mix at the minute. I'm realy happy with the end result I've only ridden it around the block but it rides great 😀. Still running it in so not opened it up but it feels strong down low very responsive and tourqey compared to my lc, I cannot wait to open it up 👍 Rob       |

I got mine in the winter of 1984/85. It was red and white like yours but had a black fairing and mudguard. The all red/white ones look slightly odd to me because mine had always been that mix of colours 😀. I bought it for racing and oddly the bike was a full blown production tuned race bike but the owner had put it back to road trim because he thought he wouldn't be able to sell it as a race bike. It wasn't even registered so it ended up B reg. I did what you do at 21 and put the reg plate off my DT125MX on it and rode it home the 60/70 miles down the M62. I was massively impressed by the bottom end and midrange of it and then later the top end. The Stephens tune seemed to give it more power everywhere. Great bikes. Showed the Mrs your bike. I think she was impressed but it's hard to tell 😀

Cracking job there best colours and model for me. Had one of these brand new 1st August 1984 which is also my birthday and the day when the new reg plates came out - B493 MFH - long since gone. Are you going to put a set of the original cigar pipes on her, not that it need them as does look good with the pipes you have on.

nice bike, well done
I have a pair of cigar pipes, from an F1 so have the cut out in them at the rear, other than that they are the same as the 31K, the paint on them is scabby but they are solid, I need to dig them out, but open to selling them if interested
