Good Morning. So I’ve got this far fetched idea about building two YPVS’s - I know it’s gonna be a bloody long journey 4sure..😬
I’m just about getting my head around forums to assist and am grateful to be able to join the “RDLC community’.
I defo think I’m going to need some expertise so… here I am…!
Hope to be able to contribute…🤗

Hi Welcome to the forum  Enthusiasm is in abundance here  Lots of help and info when you need it, Classifieds open up at 10 posts, and Norbo has an excellent online shop that will rinse your wallet quick as a flash, but will supply you all those standard and trick parts ! Enjoy Dusty |

Welcome. I lack enthusiasm sometimes, well most times and I come on here in the hope some of it will rub off on me. I find the photo thing a bit of a b@ll ache. The Tapatalk app makes it a lot simpler. If you are building two YPVS's you've ended up in the right place for advice, not me but there are some nice builds on here to get inspiration from. |

Finally a Sunny UK Sunday.
Ok, quick question on parts.?
Where can I get a good quality and reasonable deal on engine bearings and seals..?
As I’m stripping the electrics, a lot of the wiring loom is 40 yrs old does anyone here know if I can get replacement.? (Online costs are crazy and stuff appears the same age.?
Cheers in advance…!

Have a bit of a read around on here (search function does work as well) as a lot of what youre asking has been discussed before.
eg... OEM crank seals only etc.

Evening all,
Realised i’ve not been as social as I could so here goes… The two bikes build has been a long journey 4sure… The 31K has been almost completed and now engine and electrics check I’m waiting on a new paint job in same spec RD350F RWB colours so pics to follow hen they arrive… Enjoyed the hotrod crank build and was a pleasure to have fired it up after having some ignition gremlins and balance carb issues…
Soooo I’m now into the F2 1WT - Frame and wheels back from refresh - new bearings and bushes…
More aluminium polish going on than brill cream nowadays and tomorrows jobs can’t come fast enough…
Just need to be off work more with extended rest days…! Ha..! Right pictures…?

 YPVS 31K by Lostan Founds, on Flickr Looks great. When uploading with Flikr, you need to highlight the "BBCODE", as in this pic;  20230923_074415 by dusty miller, on Flickr So click on the arrow, bottom right hand corner (highlighted). then a box will appear in the centre of your screen, Click BBCODE, and text will appear in the box. Left click the mouse to highlight the text, then right click to copy, then paste into the thread, and then guys who dont use Flikr will see your pics Dusty |
